The Kerrie Palmer Story | Beneath the Noosa Sunshine
EARLY ACCESS Episode
In January 2003, 20-year-old Kerrie Palmer disappeared from Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. What began as a dispute over money escalated into a violent search through the streets of Noosa Heads and ended with Kerrie being found buried in a shallow grave at Mudjimba three days later.
In this early access episode, we take a deeper look at the investigation, the witness evidence, the forensic findings and the court proceedings that followed Kerrie’s death. We examine the events that unfolded on Coral Tree Avenue, the movements reconstructed by police across the Sunshine Coast, and the legal questions that ultimately led to manslaughter convictions rather than murder convictions.
This episode goes beyond the headline details to explore the complexity of the case and the devastating impact on Kerrie’s family and the wider Noosa community.
Content warning: This episode contains discussion of violence, assault and homicide.
