About this listen
In July 2001, British backpackers Peter Falconio and Joanne Lees were driving through the dark heart of the Australian outback when a vehicle flashed its lights behind them on the Stuart Highway. Minutes later, Peter was gone – and Joanne was running for her life.
In this episode of Crime at Bedtime, we walk slowly through the night of the attack, the frantic search in the Northern Territory desert, and the investigation that turned a missing-persons case into one of Australia’s most famous true crime trials. We’ll look at what Joanne Lees says happened on that lonely stretch of road, how police built their case, and why the disappearance of Peter Falconio still sparks debate decades later.
If you’re drawn to Australian true crime, outback mysteries and cases like Azaria Chamberlain, this deep-dive into the Peter Falconio case is for you. Settle in, press play, and let the story unfold.
