In this episode of SLEEPERS, the silence is broken by voices that can no longer be ignored.

Three Warrior Women, survivors, witnesses, and sisters, step forward to reveal what they saw, what they lived through, and what was covered up.

Their accounts point deeper into the shadows of Stanley Arthur Hart and expose the cracks in systems that failed to protect the innocent.

What they share is confronting, unsettling, and impossible to dismiss.

And it is only the beginning. The revelations in this series are gathering momentum.

What lies ahead will challenge everything you thought you knew about the Adelaide Oval abductions.

SLEEPERS is not just unearthing the past. It is forcing the truth into the light.

In this episode of Sleepers, survivor Paul Cornelius speaks publicly for the first time about his abuse at the hands of disgraced magistrate Peter Liddy. His story shines a light on the hidden networks of power that thrived in South Australia through the 1970s and ’80s, linking surf clubs, politics, and the dark underbelly of Adelaide’s so-called establishment.

Cornelius’s testimony doesn’t just revisit Liddy’s crimes; it connects to Stan Hart’s network, our prime suspect in the abduction and murder of Joanne Ratcliffe and Kirste Gordon. Paul's experience draws new lines to convicted offender Tony Munro. His account also reopens the trail to Steve Williams, Gypsy Jokers president, who vanished after revealing too much.

Snakes in the Grass is a story of survival and exposure, a reminder that the dangers were never just on the streets, but in the institutions meant to protect us.

In our first-ever Sleepers forum episode, the public steps forward, and the ripple effect is undeniable.

From firsthand memories of the Adelaide parklands to lost police reports, overlooked sightings, and new connections to persons of interest, this is the episode where long-held silence begins to crack.

You’ll hear directly from listeners, ordinary people with extraordinary insight, who may hold the missing pieces that were never pursued, never filed, and never followed up on.

As new witness names surface and old suspicions are re-examined, the question becomes unavoidable:

Were we told the whole story in 1973? Or were key voices left out?

The Sleepers are waking.
