Episode 20: The Shire

Andy seeks expert advice about the x-raying of a concrete slab at a house in Illawong in The Shire – the place he refers to as God’s Country, where he and Bronwyn grew up.

After getting more intel about a concrete pour in May 1993, Andy and Madi visit and are more suspicious about what went on at the former building site in Illawong where Jon had been bricklaying.

Jon’s friend at the time, builder Glenn Webster, discloses knowledge of his former family home and an area which would have been easiest to dig to conceal a body.

A neighbour reveals something Chrystal told her about the boot of the Ford Falcon. It alarmed her at the time and has troubled her since 1993.

Season 2 of Bronwyn winds down with Season 3 returning early 2025. A video being shot behind-the-scenes with Madi, retired detective Glenn Taylor, Hedley, Andy, Michelle, Deb and Murray’s daughter Mel, Karina and others will come first.
