The Shandee Blackburn case began with one walk home in Mackay and eventually exposed serious problems in Queensland's forensic DNA system.

A new subscriber episode follows the people who kept asking questions after the trial ended and the way Shandee's case continued to drive scrutiny of Queensland's forensic system.

A closer look at the CCTV, witnesses, missing handbag, DNA evidence, criminal trial, coronial findings and the forensic questions that made Shandee’s case significant far beyond Mackay.

The Shandee Blackburn story is now on Coffee & Crime AU. A case shaped by CCTV, witnesses, a missing handbag and forensic evidence that later became part of a much wider examination of Queensland's DNA laboratory.

The Shandee Blackburn story is available now for Early Access subscribers. Follow her final walk, the investigation, the 2017 acquittal, the later coronial process and the forensic DNA questions that followed.

How could Keli Lane carry three babies to term while almost everyone closest to her carried on as normal? The Other Babies follows the hidden pregnancies, the lawful adoptions, the false histories given to hospitals and social workers, and the paperwork that finally forced Keli’s separate worlds into the same room. Content warning: infant disappearance and presumed death, surveillance, discussion of adoption and concealed pregnancy, and the criminal justice process.

No body, no known cause of death and no identified crime scene — yet a jury convicted Keli Lane of murdering Tegan. Here is how the circumstantial case was put together.

Keli Lane said Tegan went to live with her biological father. Police spent years trying to find the man she described. This is how the Andrew Morris/Norris story changed — and why it mattered.

The new Coffee & Crime AU episode follows the disappearance of two-day-old Tegan Lane, the case against her mother Keli Lane, and the questions that remain nearly thirty years later.

Early Access is now available for the new Coffee & Crime AU episode on Keli Lane and the disappearance of two-day-old Tegan Lane.

Subscriber Companion Episode Sef Gonzales didn’t create just one false story. He built an entire life out of them. To the people around him, he could be the successful university student, the future lawyer, the singer on the edge of a breakthrough, the young businessman and, eventually, the devastated son left behind after an unthinkable crime. But those identities couldn’t all survive contact with the truth.

August was huge — and September brings four major Australian cases, weekly Early Access and new subscriber-only companion stories from Coffee & Crime AU.

A clear, factual overview of the Gonzales family murders, the case against Sef Gonzales, the verdict and where the case stands today.

Listen before public release They came home one by one. He was already waiting. Early Access members can now listen to the extended, ad-free Sef Gonzales episode before its public release. The story follows the final hours of Teddy, Loiva and Clodine Gonzales, the staged scene left inside their family home and the performance Sef began when he called emergency services.

There is a temptation, when telling the story of Katherine Knight, to begin at the end. With John Price. With Aberdeen. With the crime that made her name infamous. But by the time Price entered Knight's life, there was already a long history behind her. Three men, in particular, occupied important places in that history. David Kellett. David Saunders. John Chillingworth.
