Shortcut: The Murder of Allison Baden-Clay with David Murray - Re-issue #18
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.
We're 11 weeks into 2024 and 18 Australian women have been murdered so far this year.
Today we are releasing a re-issue of episode #18, a case I know many of us have been remembering as the search for Samantha Murphy goes on.
It was 12 years ago that we first heard the name Allison Baden-Clay.
Like Samantha Murphy, we were told that Allison, a successful, vibrant pillar of the community, had disappeared into thin air after going for a walk. Her husband and family had also made tearful plays in front of the media as photos of her attractive, smiling face were circulated.
Journalist David Murray covered the case and wrote the excellent book, The Murder of Allison Baden-Clay, and he joined us to talk about it.
This is an episode from behind our paywall. To access all of those episodes, plus early access to ad free new episodes, you can subscribe to ATC Plus on Apple Podcasts.

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.
Brisbane Journalist Nicole Madigan's experience of stalking isn't the one we've grown used to.
She was stalked by her husband's ex partner for over three years, and she wrote a very thought provoking book about it, titled "Obsession".

Shortcut: Going to the same school as your abusers
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.
It's estimated that around one third of sexual assaults committed against Australian children are carried out by other children, according to the Australian Center for Child Protection.
Australian children are increasingly displaying harmful sexual behaviours and there's a tendency within our society to minimise it and characterise it as normal sexual development.
Our guest on Australian True Crime today, Emma, was the victim of other children's harmful sexual behaviours when she was 13 years old.
We know that adult sexual predators tend to seek out vulnerable children to take advantage of.
Disturbingly, that approach seems to be instinctive. As you'll hear in this episode, Emma was definitely vulnerable when her attackers singled her out from the crowd.

Customer Reviews
Jet Star pilot
Hey you mentioned a few episodes back you bringing the trial of the high country murders, when is that occurring? Cheers!
Where is Emily?
Definitely missing Emily, not sure why you think it’s okay not to mention why she has left? Seems very odd not to mention to your loyal listeners?
Bad Taste
To have an ad promoting tyres and trying to play on people’s fears of getting ABDUCTED.
Poor taste. How did that one get through?
