About this listen

Shandee Blackburn is a popular, outgoing young woman who lives with her mother Vicki in a Queensland town renowned for its sugar, Mackay. Shandee walks home at night from her coffee shop job sometimes and she’s filmed by CCTV cameras - along with her killer who runs to launch a frenzied and savage knife attack.

Shandee’s murder stuns the community and triggers ongoing trauma and investigations into her relationships including with a former boyfriend.
