This is a re-issue of Australian True Crime episode #9, Ron Iddles: Australia's Greatest Detective. To access all of our back catalogue, you can subscribe to ATC Plus on Apple Podcasts.
Ron Iddles is widely known as Australia's greatest detective. After 42 years of eliciting confessions and nabbing murderers, he had a 99% conviction rate. Known as 'The Good Cop', Ron reflects on the cases that stuck with him. On being the only hope for the families of victims. Having to tell Jill Meagher’s husband his wife was dead, then accuse him of orchestrating it. And why he will never change his phone number. In conversation with Meshel Laurie, the retired Australian police detective shares how he gets inside the psyche of criminals, and the cases that stay with him deep into the night.

George Newhouse is the CEO and the Principal Solicitor of the National Justice Project.
Its mission is to take strategic action to create a fair and equitable society that is free from discrimination.
When I first read that statement on their website, to be honest, I thought they were dreaming. But having now met George, my faith is revitalised and I'm very excited to introduce him and his work to you.

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.
On December 14, 2008, 37-year-old Mary Cook was found murdered in a burned down house on Darling Way, Narre Warren.
Victoria Police launched a months-long covert operation, gaining a confession from 35-year-old Glenn Weaven using the controversial "Mr Big" technique.
Weaven was convicted of Mary’s murder and sentenced to 20 years in prison, with a 16-year non-parole period. But the use of the Mr Big method has sparked intense scrutiny.
Our guest today on Australian True Crime, Professor Michele Ruyters, is here to explain what the Mr Big technique is, and how she believes it may have coerced a confession from Glenn Weaven, thus resulting in his wrongful conviction.
Today's conversation is also conducted by our guest host and resident criminologist, Dr. Xanthé Mallett.
Michele Ruyters is the director of the Bridge of Hope Innocence Initiative at RMIT University.

Our friend Michael Adams, who hosts the excellent podcast Forgotten Australia, joins us again on Australian True Crime today to talk about his new book.
"They'll Never Hold Me" follows the life and crimes of prodigious prison escapee and fugitive, Kevin John Simmonds, also known as the Ned Kelly for the rock and roll era.
Like Ned Kelly, Simmonds was a charismatic crook who had a way with words and once boasted as he was being led away from court and towards prison that "they'll never hold me!".
True to his word, Simmonds escaped and kicked off the biggest armed manhunt in Australian history.
"They'll Never Hold Me" will be available to purchase from October 29th. You can click here to get your copy.

This is a preview of our recent ATC Plus episode. To listen to the whole episode, you can click here and subscribe now to ATC Plus and get your first week free on Apple Podcasts.
As rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs sits in a Brooklyn jail facing criminal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering and at least seven civil suits alleging sexual assault, we talk to investigative journalist Brian Joseph, who spent many years writing about the relationship between hip hop culture and sexual exploitation.
Brian recently released a book called Vegas Concierge: Sex Trafficking, Hip-Hop and Corruption in America.
In the book, he focuses on the so-called pimp and prostitute culture that's been glamorised and normalised in the media. Specifically, Brian reports on the case of Jamal Rashid, known professionally as Mally Mall, an American hip hop producer who worked with the likes of Snoop Dogg, Chris Brown and Wiz Khalifa, among many others.
You can purchase Brian's book "Vegas Concierge Sex Trafficking, Hip-Hop and Corruption in America" here.

Our guest on Australian True Crime today is Brisbane Coroner, Donald MacKenzie.
After 30 years in the criminal justice system since being appointed to the Coroner's Court in 2019, MacKenzie has investigated over 2000 reportable deaths, including over 700 suspected suicides, over 500 road fatalities and over 100 homicides in the last 12 months alone.
Don joins us today to talk about his job to help us understand the coronial system and the ways in which it differs from other courts, and to explain why he describes his work as therapeutic.
