On a cold winter afternoon in June 2014, two little girls sat waiting in a running car while their mother walked back into a house in Serpentine, Western Australia.

Minutes later, a shotgun blast shattered the silence. Amy Wensley never came back out.

Her death was initially treated as a suicide, but concerns raised by attending police officers, questions about the crime scene, and later scrutiny of the investigation have left her family searching for answers for more than a decade.

In this episode of Coffee and Crime AU, we examine Amy’s life before the headlines, the events of her final day, the photograph taken only minutes before her death, and the enduring uncertainty surrounding one of Western Australia’s most debated deaths.

This is a victim-centred, factual, and deeply researched Australian true crime story that explores not only what happened, but why the questions remain.
