Father's Day is usually about socks, ties, and a badly cooked BBQ - but in 1971, Clifford Bartholomew decided to gift his family something much darker. In the small town of Hope Forest, South Australia, Clifford turned celebration into massacre, leaving ten of his own relatives dead and a whole community in shock. In this episode, we dive into how a dad went from sulking in the shed to making history as one of Australia's deadliest killers.
