  • 490 - Shortcut: Update on well connected child predator

    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. 


    In episode #342 of Australian True Crime, we met a man named Glen Fisher, who told us about the abuse he suffered in a so-called youth refuge in 1980s Kings Cross.


    The place in question was called the "Homeless Children's Association Refuge", and it was run by one Simon Davies.


    In 2022, Simon Davies was convicted of historical child sex offences against two boys in 1980s. One of those boys was Glen Fisher.


    After that episode was published, we were contacted by a woman named Marie, who said she had more information about that story which she would like to share.


    Marie's life has been an odyssey, to say the least. As you'll hear though, she comes from a very different background to the boys who ended up at the Homeless Children's Association Refuge.


    We contacted the Australian Privacy Foundation (founded by Simon Davies) for comment, and you can see our correspondence with them on our Facebook page.

  • 487 - 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.
