Jonathan Todd Schwartz was a leading entertainment manager when he embezzled money from his superstar clients to feed his addictions.

And when I say superstar, I'm not exaggerating. Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Linkin Park and Alanis Morissette were just some of the people who trusted him with their money.

Jonathan has now dedicated his life to supporting others in addiction recovery, and you can visit his Instagram here.

In late 2024, Upper House member Jeremy Buckingham addressed the NSW state parliament with a shocking possibility—one of Australia’s most prolific serial killers may have never been identified.

There are up to 72 unsolved cases of missing and murdered persons along the NSW North Coast, spanning from 1977 to 2024.

In today’s episode of Australian True Crime, guest host and criminologist Dr. Xanthé Mallett speaks with Jeremy Buckingham to discuss the disturbing possibility that these cases are connected—and why police haven't acted sooner.
