Episode 33: The Legal Veil

After a break of almost three months between episodes, Andy and Michelle come away from a meeting for the loved ones of homicide victims with newly found patience and confidence in the restarted police investigation into Bronwyn’s 1993 disappearance. They explain why.

A former insider from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions discloses concerns she has held for a quarter century about how the brief of evidence was handled behind closed doors in Lismore in 2000. The fallibility of prosecutors in significant cases where there is no formal external accountability comes under scrutiny.

And Madi Walsh is a step away from joining the New South Wales Police Force to realise her ambition to help solve serious crimes as a forensic scientist. The podcast series starts its final stage.
