On a winter night in June 2014, police were called to a rural property in Western Australia. What began as an emergency response would later become the subject of a coronial inquest, forensic debate, and years of unanswered questions.

In this exclusive Coffee and Crime AU bonus episode, we examine the investigation that followed Amy Wensley’s death and the issue that came to define the case: the original scene was no longer preserved in the way that it should have been.

This episode explores the officers’ first observations, the concerns raised at the scene, the forensic evidence later examined in court, and the challenge of reconstructing a moment that can never be revisited.

We also look at the differing recollections of those who attended that night, and the role memory can play in long-running investigations.

Rather than focusing on speculation, this episode is a careful, victim-centred examination of what was known, what was questioned, and what may never be fully understood.

At the heart of the story is Amy herself — a daughter, a mother, and a woman whose life mattered beyond the circumstances of her death. The episode reflects on the lasting impact of unresolved questions while keeping Amy and her family at the centre of the narrative.
