In 2004 a recreation spot in Newcastle became the hunting ground for a serial predator. In a series of crimes that mirrored the still-unsolved Zodiac series in the US, couples seeking out some alone time in the park were targeted. The killer's arrest would occur in the most unexpected way.

Introducing: Radio Workshop
I’m dropping into your feed to tell you about a very cool podcast I’ve just discovered that I think you’ll really like. Radio Workshop is a documentary-style podcast about youth issues in Africa. One of the things I love most about podcasting is that it provides a platform for previously untold stories to be heard with a lower barrier to entry and Radio Workshop does this really beautifully. You’ll hear real life stories from young African people about challenging situations and the incredible power of the human spirit to overcome. Here’s the podcast’s trailer and I’ve linked one of their most recent episodes in the show notes of this episode drop. I highly recommend giving Radio Workshop a listen.

Episode 193 The Helderstroom Prison Murders
This episode was first published in the Patreon feed in May 2023.
Working in a prison environment is a dangerous undertaking, but most correctional centre employees would expect the danger to come from the incarcerated offenders. When three young prison wardens set out on a brief errand for their employer, though, they will soon realise that the danger was far closer than they thought.

In part 1 of the Stolen Girl Companion podcast we delved into the real-life case of Maureen Dabbagh and her daughter, Nadia, who was abducted and taken to Syria by her father in the 90s. In this 2nd and final part of the podcast we talk about the reality of child abduction in South Africa and what we can do to prevent it. I'm joined by Bianca van Aswegan of Missing Children South Africa for grassroots insights on this terrifying scourge.
