Join hosts Shaun and Chloe each week as they discuss an Australian criminal case, deep diving into the backgrounds of perpetrators, details of crimes, impact on victims, and affects on the community.
The True Blue True Crime podcast is a must-listen for any true crime enthusiast. Hosted by Shaun and Chloe, this podcast stands out in the genre for its care and caution when discussing difficult subject matter. As an Australian living in the states, I appreciate their unique perspective on these cases. The hosts put a tremendous amount of hard work into researching and presenting each episode, making it clear that they are dedicated to providing accurate information. The sound quality is top-notch, making for a pleasant listening experience.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the rapport between the hosts. Shaun and Chloe have a great dynamic and their genuine friendship shines through. They have a knack for making each other laugh, which adds some lightness to what can be a heavy subject matter. Additionally, their research is thorough and well-presented. Each episode is well-structured, keeping listeners engaged from start to finish.
Another standout aspect of The True Blue True Crime podcast is the compassion with which they approach each case. Despite discussing heinous acts committed by society's monsters, Shaun and Chloe manage to maintain empathy towards all involved parties. This balance between acknowledging the aberrance of the acts and recognizing the humanity of those involved is commendable.
On the downside, there are no major flaws to point out with this podcast. Some may argue that it could benefit from more in-depth analysis or discussions surrounding each case, but I believe that its straightforward approach works well in presenting facts without overwhelming listeners with unnecessary details.
In conclusion, The True Blue True Crime podcast sets itself apart from others in the genre with its professionalism and dedication to thorough research and presentation. Shaun and Chloe are excellent hosts who bring both expertise and compassion to each episode. Whether you're an avid true crime fan or new to the genre, I highly recommend giving this podcast a listen - you won't be disappointed!

Welcome to the first episode in a series of upcoming quirky stories about Urban Legends, originally released on Patreon when we were making episodes.All have an element of criminal seediness or conspiracy about them. And as they play out, we'll get to the bottom of whether there's any truth to these tales or if they're purely myths.In this first episode, we explore the rumours and realities of famed Italian furniture salesman, Franco Cozzo, and the gun-toting escapades of Melbourne grandmother, Ava Estelle.SOURCESArticles referred to in audio, plus:https://executivesuccessau.wordpress.com/2012/02/13/the-advertising-failures-of-franzo-cozzo-executive-success-australia/https://www.theurbanlist.com/melbourne/a-list/10-more-of-melbournes-best-urban-legendsThe Age (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) 08 Feb 1992, Sathttps://www.snopes.com/fact-check/grambo/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Bloodhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiQzUEc_FmI - Golden Girls themehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kbdpdr4u2fU - Rambo themehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aTO6Iv4f3A - Franco adSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/true-blue-crime.

We have decided to finish up making episodes for True Blue Crime.This will undoubtedly be a surprise and disappointing for many people, but we want to finish things on our terms and now feels like the right time to do that.It's a decision that we don't take lightly and we've been discussing for a while now, and we've reached it together.When we started this show, we committed to ten episodes, and didn't expect anyone outside of our partners, family and friends to listen to it. We were stunned when the downloads kept going up and more and more people were tuning in. Now we feel that we've taken the show in its current format with our current resources as far as we can.It's been a blast making these episodes for you all. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for listening, giving our show a chance, and following us throughout our journey. Shaun & ChloeSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/true-blue-crime.

Not long after sunrise Peter Leutenegger was flying his chopper across the Jubilee Downs Station, singing along to a few of his favourite Slim Dusty songs. He was mustering horses in preparation for the upcoming Fitzroy Crossing Rodeo; a popular annual event that saw many people travel to the area, when he noticed something unusual on the ground below.It appeared to be a vehicle, but it was well covered by some form of camouflage. The power of his chopper blades slightly blew the green covering off the vehicle, and Peter thought he’d seen a man lying down inside, a man with no shirt on, camouflage pants, and a bandanna wrapped around his head...Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the series of brutal spree murders throughout the Kimberley region in 1987, the unlikely helicopter pilot who located the killer, and the tactical police response that brought him down.Join our Patreon community for access to exclusive extra content:Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/truebluecrimeLink to one-off Supporter donations at the bottom of show notesWebsite - www.truebluecrimepodcast.com - includes our merch storeFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/380493356066315/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/truebluecrime/Email - truebluecrime@gmail.comThis episode was produced by True Blue Media using the open source materials referenced below: Crime Investigation Australia: The Kimberley Killerhttps://sites.google.com/site/ntpmhsociety/home/our-rich-history/timeline-and-events/major-crimes-and-investigations/kimberley-killer -by John Horswell, Australian Police JournalThe Kimberley killer, The Sunday Times March 05, 2007https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7101131/How-German-tourist-shot-dead-five-campers-Australias-End-kept-killing.htmlhttps://thewest.com.au/news/wa/josef-schwab-murder-spree-30-years-on-on-the-trail-of-a-killer-in-was-remote-north-ng-b88502609z The Sydney Morning Herald (Sydney, New South Wales, Australia) 17 Jun 1987, Wed Page 1The Sydney Morning Herald (Sydney, New South Wales, Australia) 21 Jun 1987, Sun Page 2 & 3The Sydney Morning Herald (Sydney, New South Wales, Australia)
Anzac Day Friday, 25 April 2014John Pearson said it was a bleak irony that his brother Martin was killed on a day that was all about mateship and courage.“This is an act of supreme cowardice and I can’t believe somebody’s conscience hasn’t got the better of them and they won’t be struck by an act of guilt,” “I can’t believe the extreme irony of someone leaving a vet by the side of the road. Being left for dead on Anzac Day, a day we remember mateship and self-sacrifice, and he was left as roadkill.”Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the tragic hit and run death of a well-respected vet and family man, and the police investigation that uncovered the culprit, and another strange death he was connected with from six years earlier.

On the 26th of May 1990 a number of calls came in to 3AW’s late night lonely hearts program called Matchmakers. One seemingly eligible bachelor received several interested parties and potential matches: “G’Day. I’m Rodney from Castlemaine. I’m 35, a Gemini, and a Marine Biologist. I enjoy basketball and squash. I’m a non-smoker and not a big drinker. I’m just looking for someone to share in my happiness and a quiet life.

On the 14th of June of 2018, the day after the murder of Melbourne comedian, Eurydice Dixon, police comments in the media drew the ire of the public, with the drawn inference that that women needed to exercise greater care in potentially compromising situations, like walking home alone through a park at night.Kon Karapanagiotidis, a lawyer and social worker, tweeted the following after police comments to the media:“I can only imagine the rage and fear women feel to see women die doing everyday mundane things like walking home, like they do too, only to then be told it’s their fault and that they need to be more careful,” “Stop blaming women. Make men the issue.”Hundreds of people shared the tweet, including a young 24 year old woman named Toyah Cordingley...Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the senseless murder of a bright and caring young woman, and the pending extradition of a person of interest.Join our Patreon community for access to exclusive extra content:Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/truebluecrimeLink to one-off Supporter donations at the bottom of show notesWebsite - www.truebluecrimepodcast.com - includes our merch storeFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/380493356066315/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/truebluecrime/Email - truebluecrime@gmail.comThis episode was produced by True Blue Media using the open source materials referenced below: Murder in Paradise - 60 minuteshttps://www.newsport.com.au/2018/november/video-toyahs-mother-pleads-for-help-to-find-her-daughters-killer/ https://www.sbs.com.au/news/queensland-police-widen-hunt-for-beach-killerhttps://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/oct/23/cairns-investigation-police-widen-hunt-for-killer-after-body-found-on-beachhttps://www.sbs.com.au/news/toyah-cordingley-queensland-mayor-s-plea-over-disgusting-horrific-beach-murderhttps://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-03-19/toyah-cordingley-murder-india-extradition-request/100018114 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8492851/Dark-history-Wangetti-Beach-Toyah-Cordingley-murdered.html https://www.qt.com.au/news/huge-response-in-quest-for-clues-over-murder-of-to/3559134/
With Purana still gathering evidence to support their case, Federal Police, led by Agent Jarrod Ragg, who’d been relentlessly pursuing Tony for some time, made the request to have Tony’s bail revoked.But without the evidence to support their reasoning, Justice Gillard did not revoke bail just yet.Instead, Tony was free to go after his day in court on Friday March the 17th, 2006. Outside court, he gave Purana Detective Jim Coghlan from the Asset Location Squad, a new mobile number he was using. Tony smiled at Jim as he scrawled the number on his palm.On Monday the 20th of March, 2006, Tony didn’t report for bail at South Melbourne Police station, and his legal team led by Con Helitois, were forced to withdraw from the case.

Carl Williams had a new attack dog. Andrew “Benji” Veniamin was now spending the best part of his days with a new best mate; despite him allegedly accepting a contract from Jason Moran to off Carl.The way Benji told it, he’d gotten his way into the roof cavity of Carl’s house one night, and was primed to do the job, when he heard Roberta singing to their daughter Dhakota, while putting her to bed.Benji knew then, he couldn't kill Carl. Others might think the lure of easy drug money on offer from the likes of Tony Mokbel, and his friend Carl, spoke louder than Roberta’s singing voice.Whatever the case, Benji had his foot in their camp now, and it wouldn’t be long until he put his skills to use, skills he’d be building up since his childhood…Join Shaun for Part 3 of The Melbourne Gangland Killings.Join our Patreon community for access to exclusive extra content:Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/truebluecrimeLink to one-off Supporter donations at the bottom of show notesWebsite - www.truebluecrimepodcast.com - includes our merch storeFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/380493356066315/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/truebluecrime/Email - truebluecrime@gmail.comThis episode was produced by True Blue Media using the open source materials referenced below:Underbelly: The Gangland War, by John Silvester and Andrew RuleBig Shots by Adam ShandCarl Williams by Adam ShandUnderbelly series of novels by John Silvester and Andrew RuleI, Mick Gatto, by Mick Gatto and Tom NobleUnderbelly, Series 1, Nine NetworkFat Tony & Co, Nine NetworkTough Nuts, Nikolai RadevDead Famous, Melbourne’s underworld warhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melbourne_gangland_killings Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/true-blue-crime.

13th of October 1999Carl drove his hire car to Gladstone Park, a northwest suburb of Melbourne, and waited for Mark and Jason to arrive.When they did, the trio hopped into Carl’s hire car and drove around until they found a small reserve in Barrington Crescent. It was mid afternoon, and the small park was flanked by residential homes.When the subject of prices and past deals gone awry came up, Jason produced a small .22 Derringer and put the barrel to Carl’s gut. ‘No Jason’, Carl yelled, before the shot went off, the slug going into Carl’s abdomen.Join Shaun and Chloe for part 2 of The Melbourne Gangland Killings.Join our Patreon community for access to exclusive extra content:Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/truebluecrimeLink to one-off Supporter donations at the bottom of show notesWebsite - www.truebluecrimepodcast.com - includes our merch storeFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/groups/380493356066315/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/truebluecrime/Email - truebluecrime@gmail.comThis episode was produced by True Blue Media using the open source materials referenced below: Underbelly: The Gangland War, by John Silvester and Andrew RuleBig Shots by Adam ShandCarl Williams by Adam ShandMokbelly by John Silvester and Andrew RuleShotgun city by Paul AndersonUnderbelly series of novels, books 4 and 7, by John Silvester and Andrew RuleI, Mick Gatto, by Mick Gatto and Tom NobleUnderbelly, Series 1, Nine NetworkFat Tony & Co, Nine NetworkDead Famous, Melbourne’s underworld warhttps://7news.com.au/news/court-justice/man-arrested-over-high-profile-gangland-murder-of-mad-richard-mladenich-c-531347https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/law-order/slain-gangster-wannabe-dino-dibra-idolised-scarface-reservoir-dogs-and-his-mate-rocco-arico-idolised-him/news-story/76f77e38dca83e29de69f0c0c4c95e9c Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/true-blue-crime.

Shelly worked her shift and returned to her parents house in Brougham St around 2PM. When she went inside, her Dad, John, was making a cup of tea.
