Arthur Stanley Brown was charged in 1998 for the August 26, 1970 rape and murder of Judith and Susan Mackay in Townsville, Queensland. The jury failed to reach a verdict and a new trial was blocked on the grounds that Brown was mentally incapable of understanding the charges against him.Brown's arrest attracted wide publicity, leading to a witness to the abduction of Joanne Ratcliffe and Kirste Gordon from the Adelaide Oval in 1973 identifying him as the man she had seen. Brown was subsequently linked the the Disappearance of the Beaumont Children, and other cold cases.Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the sick and twisted life of a man who, in death, is just as much a phantom as he was in life.

Joanne Ratcliffe (11) and Kirste Gordon (4) were abducted while attending an Australian rules football match at the Adelaide Oval on 25 August 1973.

The case is also referred to as the Adelaide Oval Abductions.Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the girls and their families, the details of the abductions, sightings of the perpetrator, police investigation and suspects. In the latter part of the episode, as Shaun dug deeper into the research of this case, two seemingly missed leads and a disturbing theory in connection with a remote South Australian town surfaced, suggesting a potentially dark and twisted end to this case and possibly many others...Support the show on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/truebluecrimeWebsite - 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: The Missing Beaumont Children by Michael MadiganThe Cruel City by Stephen OrrMan claims he saw Joanne Ratcliffe and Kirste Gordon loaded into van at a boarding house after their disappearance from Adelaide Oval - Craig Cook, Sunday Mail (SA) August 31, 2013Excavation in South Australia’s mid-north for clues to 1973 abduction of Joanne Ratcliffe and Kirste Gordon from Adelaide Oval - Bryan Littleley and Steven Rice, The Advertiser, September 18, 2014The city of kidnapped children by Marnie O’Neill, The Morning bulletin, 23rd Jun 2018https://www.facebook.com/AMMGSAOSS/posts/2086183821625094https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_DHOwqpfbY&fbclid=IwAR17Dr29Bn78mskq4mKIJRHihg3ekeIJiwzWpbBedk0svtsIBBpmHlvFOlg&app=desktopmurderpedia.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

A kidnapping happens in broad daylight in front of thousands of witnesses, but no one knows it's a kidnapping. That's what happened when a man abducted family friends, 11-year-old Joane Ratcliffe and 4-year-old Kirste Gordon from an Australian Rules football match on August 25, 1973. The stands were packed at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide Australia, with over 10,000 fans in attendance. Many of those there saw a middle-aged man in a wide-brimmed hat take the two girls, but said nothing, assuming that he was their father. Over 50 years have passed, and after decades of investigation and thousands of leads, recent breakthroughs have led to two extremely strong and chillingly similar suspects. Is one of Australia's most infamous unsolved crimes close to a resolution?
