  • The 30 Year Cold Case of Nanette Ellis - Episode #4 Re-Issue
    Jan 5 2025

    This is a re-issue of episode 4 of Australian True Crime, released in 2017.


    A popular, gentle suburban single mother, whom friends and family said didn’t have an enemy in the world, was the victim of several bizarre incidents of vandalism before she was brutally murdered in her own home.


    She’d been alone in the house for just minutes when her teenage son returned and made the terrible discovery. Was she being stalked by a stranger? Did she have a second life no one knew about?

  • Update: Keith Lees Has Been Arrested
    Jan 5 2025

    We recently published two episodes dedicated to raising awareness and seeking information about the whereabouts of Keith Lees.


    Keith Lees has been evading police detection for over a year now, in regards to the 1997 death of Meaghan Louise Rose.


    Since his arrest, Queensland Police have confirmed that one of our listeners contacted them with the breakthrough they needed to locate him.


    We will be covering this story as it unfolds, but for now, we have an update on the story and the arrest from Nine News reporter, Josh Bavas.

  • Shortcut: Seeking Justice for Meaghan Louise Rose
    Dec 29 2024

    This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.


    In our last episode, we heard from two guests, Wren Dawnsong and Detective Sergeant Anthony Johns, about the search for a very dangerous man who is believed to be living somewhere in Australia right now.


    His name is Keith Lees, though he is likely using an assumed name.


    Today, we hear from Christine, whose sister, Meaghan Louise Rose, was found dead at the bottom of a cliff 27 years ago, shortly after she told her family she was leaving Lees.


    We remind you that we’ve shared photos of Lees on our social media accounts. He should not be approached under any circumstances.


    *We would also like to remind our listeners that, while Keith Lees has been convicted of one homicide, he has not been convicted of any others. The following episode contains personal views and reflections from those affected by this case and should not be taken as evidence of his guilt or innocence.

Not My Interest

The topic was repeated again & again, interrupted by the advertisementfor upcoming shows & I found it boring.
