Lynette Dawson was last seen alive in Sydney, Australia in 1982. She and her husband Chris Dawson had been having marriage trouble at the time. Chris was a high-school teacher who seemed to have a penchant for preying on teenage girls. He moved a student of his, named Joanne Curtis, into his home with Lyn under the guise of Joanne being a babysitter. Chris was 34 at the time and Joanne was 16. Days after Lyn disappeared, Joanne Curtis moved into the Dawson home permanently. Chris soon after married Joanne. Joanne had Lyn's engagement and wedding rings resized to fit her. Chris seemed to get away with the perfect crime for over 40 years. In 2018, Chris was finally charged with Lyn's murder. He is now 74 years old. In August 2022, a judge found him guilty and Chris is awaiting sentencing. Will he reveal where he hid Lyn's body or will he take that secret to the grave?

ALIEN VISITATION: Whitley Strieber's real-life story behind the best-selling book Communion, anal probes, the Chris Dawson case and more! You don't have long left to VOTE FOR US AT THE BRITISH PODCAST AWARDS: https://www.britishpodcastawards.com/vote Hello, Eavesdroppers! After a quick update on the Chris Dawson / Lynette Dawson case that has Australia gripped right now, Geordie's in the hot seat this week, talking all about the author Whitely Strieber! You might know some of his work – The Hunger, The Wolfen – but what Geordie's talking about today is his classic NON-FICTION book called Communion… You know the one… it's got that picture of an alien on the cover with big feline eyes and a long pointy face. Well, if not, you're going to hear all about it along with a few theories as to how this real-life story could possibly be a real-life story… So on Boxing Day in 1985, Whitley Strieber says he was visited by aliens… The result? The book Communion! Was Whitely Strieber's cabin really visited by aliens? Did he and his family actually see aliens that night? What are the greys? Are Whitley Strieber's hypnosis sessions recovered memories or is it all just fiction? Had he been experimented on by aliens? Did he attend Alien School? Is he mad? What's all this about lost time? Are we the lab rats? Was it all just a big PR stunt? You decide!

STRANGER THINGS ORIGIN STORY, MK ULTRA, CIA MIND CONTROL EXPERIMENTS, CAMP HERO, THE MONTAUK PROJECT, LYNETTE DAWSON, THE CHRIS DAWSON CASE & MORE! Hello Eavesdroppers! This episode we start off with a bit of a true-crime recap of a controversial Australian missing-persons case that's currently in the courts, followed by conspiracy theories and mind-control stories so buckle up and get ready to Eavesdrop! This episode we start off with an update on the Chris Dawson case, which blew up when Australian podcast Teacher's Pet investigated a paedophile ring and the disappearance-slash-suspected murder of Lynette Dawson. Michelle gives you a quick overview of the case and an update on some new evidence that's come to light before getting into the origin story of hit TV series Stranger Things… Yes, that's right, the creepy supernatural thriller is supposedly based on true-life incidents. Can you believe it? We couldn't! So… Who is Christopher Garetano? What is Camp Hero? Is there a disused secret underground mind-control lab in Montauk? And what is the Montauk Project? Were hundreds of thousands of kids abducted and experimented on in the 1970s and 1980s? Is it all a conspiracy theory? Or are the events true? You might not get any answers but listen in now to make up your own mind! So, back in the 1950s, when the US government believed that Russia had developed ways to control people's minds, the CIA decided to embark on their own mind-control methods and created a top-secret Cold War initiative named MK Ultra. Basically, they illegally experimented on people to see if the mind could be wiped, reprogrammed, controlled and more… What are the MKUltra mind control experiments? Did the CIA recruit Nazi torturers? Was LSD used as a ‘truth serum'? Why were people illegally experimented on? Were people murdered? What is the sleep room? Why is crime boss Whitey Bulger mixed up in all this? Why was all the evidence wiped about the MK Ultra experiments? And how is this connected to Guantanamo torture? Listen in to find out. We hope you enjoy this week's episode – and wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin'! *Disclaimer: We don't claim to have any factual info about anything ever, soooooorrrrrryyyyyyyy Get in touch with your stories and listen, like, subscribe, share etc… Or email us at hello@eavesdroppinpodcast.com Listen here: www.eavesdroppinpodcast.com Or here: https://podfollow.com/1539144364 WE ARE NOW ON PATREON :) Want to show your favourite podcast some love by throwing a coin into the tip jar?

Nearly 37 years after Lyn Dawson disappeared, police have arrested Chris Dawson over the alleged murder of his wife, taking him into custody and preparing his extradition to Sydney where he will face court. When the knock on the door came, the 70-year-old was calm. The timing may have been a surprise, but he’d known for a long time that this day may come. Calling the matter "a cold case murder", the magistrate denied Dawson's application for bail citing a high flight risk, and said the crown alleged domestic violence allegations against Chris Dawson would be raised in evidence, as well as testimony from Joanne Curtis. But Dawson's family believe he will be cleared, releasing a statement saying that he is innocent and that there is clear and uncontested evidence that Lyn Dawson was alive long after she left her husband and daughters.

Lyn Dawson was 33 years old and the mother of two little girls when she went missing in January 1982. She was married to her high school sweetheart, rugby league star turned teacher, Chris Dawson. They lived on Sydney’s Northern beaches on the same street as Chris’ twin brother Paul and his wife. But then one day, Chris moved one of his students, 16-year-old Joanne Curtis, into their family home and things were never the same. Since Lyn’s disappearance in 1982, two coroners found, in 2001 and 2003, that Lyn was murdered by her husband Chris but he has never been charged. So what happened to Lyn? That's where award-winning journalist Hedley Thomas comes in, with his investigative podcast The Teacher's Pet...and he joins Mia to talk about it all. Click here to subscribe to No Filter.

In January 1982, as most Australians enjoyed a carefree holiday season, Lyn Dawson was trying to pick up the tattered threads of her marriage. Joanne Curtis was taking tentative steps to extricate herself from her affair with Lyn's husband. And Chris Dawson was desperately seeking solutions. In this episode, a damning piece of evidence - once thought lost - is recovered, and it is something that should be vitally important to the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Cromer High School's pin-up sports teacher Chris Dawson pursued year 11 student Joanne Curtis with the sort of relentless determination he showed as a star of rugby league. Chris had model good looks, an easy charm, and students looked up to him. Other teachers followed his lead, seducing vulnerable school girls as those in charge looked away.
