“I’ve seen people die every way possible, but not this” Retired Detective Sergeant Jason Evers

Lying on the floor with a loaded shotgun pressed into the back of his head, Detective Sergeant Jason Evers was supposed to be off-duty when he managed to talk his way out of an armed hold-up – and the experience taught him more about homicide than he ever learned during his day-job. As Gary Jubelin’s partner for 9 years, Evers worked on everything from serial killers to domestics and infanticides, spending a lot of days and nights on the road fighting with Gary. He reveals the shame and horror he felt at internal police racism during the Bowraville investigation and being first on the scene of a fatal shark attack that horrified him more than any other case.
