This is the third and final episode regarding the police investigation into the 2015 murder of Leeton High School teacher Stephanie Scott. The first two episodes focused on how police identified and brought to justice, the murderer Vincent Stanford. This episode concentrates on Vincent's twin brother, Marcus.Because twins have identical DNA, it was important for police to clearly establish Marcus' location at the time of Stephanie's death.  When police became satisfied Marcus had been in South Australia, he was ruled out as a suspect. As events transpired however, Marcus became an accessory after the fact to murder.Detectives Tim Clark and Justin Milne talk about their investigation of Marcus and then conclude with their thoughts on how they coped with the strains and stresses of the experiences associated with investigating these grim crimes. The two crime case articles this series has referenced can be read in the APJ. ‘Merciless and Cold Blooded: The Murder of Bride to Be Stephanie Scott' is in the September 2019 edition and ‘No End to the Sorrow' is in the June 2025 edition. Both articles can be read online at www.apjl.com.au. Host: Jason Byrnes APMGuests: Tim Clark and Justin Milne

Following on from episode 49, Detectives Tim Clark and Justin Milne discuss how police were able to build a brief of evidence against Stephanie Scott's murderer. This included locating Stephanie's abandoned and burnt body near a campsite. The unique challenges facing police in rural areas are detailed in the episode, especially how detectives engaged with the cold-blooded killer. It's a fascinating example of police working to bring justice for Stephanie's family.The crime case story this conversation references – Merciless and Cold Blooded: The Murder of Bride to Be Stephanie Scott – is in the September 2019 edition of the APJ. It can be read at www.apjl.com.au.Note this episode discusses in a degree of detail, the murder and sexual assault of an innocent victim.Host: Jason Byrnes APMGuests: Tim Clark and Justin Milne

One week before her wedding, on the Easter Morning in 2015 Stephanie Scott decided to stop by her classroom at Leeton High School to go over her lesson plans and other coverage documents she'd left for the substitute teacher one final time. By midafternoon, her fiancéAaron grew anxious by unanswered calls and texts, and reported her missing with Leeton Police. The Leeton community rallied, coordinating search efforts to this beloved member of their town. Sadly, on April 9th, twenty-four-year-old Vincent Stanford was formally charged with the murder of Stephanie Scott. The arrest of Vincent Stanford came as a surprise to Stephanie's friends and family, particularly because, as far as anyone could tell, he was little more than a stranger.Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesAustralian Associated Press. 2016.

The Murrumbidgee River catchment extends from the Snowy Mountains to beyond the dusty plains of Hay and includes numerous permanent and temporary wetlands. Fivebough Wetland is distinguished through recognition under the United Nation's Ramsar Convention, which identifies sites of international importance for migratory birds. Many birds travel to Fivebough from the northern hemisphere during spring, where they stay for summer and then return to their breeding grounds in northern Australia and other islands to our north.  In winter the wetlands are also home to thousands of migratory birds taking advantage of the food and shelter resources available. Over 170 different bird species have been observed at Fivebough, including seven species considered threatened in New South Wales. Of 360 wetlands surveyed within the Murray-Darling Basin, Fivebough recorded the highest number of waterbird species and it ranked second for the total number of species recorded in a single survey.  Upwards of 20,000 waterbirds have been counted on several occasions, principally in summer, with the greatest count being above 50,000 birds. Despite the huge influx of international visitors each year, many residents in the nearby town of Leeton are unaware of the significant role played by “the swamp”. Fivebough was drained over a lengthy period in the mid-1900's, impacting on black box woodland adjacent to the wetlands, and belah, saltbush and boree woodland on the higher areas.  In the late 1970s Fivebough, along with nearby Tuckerbil swamp, became known for their birdwatching qualities.  Sometimes brolga can be seen “dancing” at these wetlands, which also serve as a breeding site for black swans. Recorded by Jason Richardson.

It’s been ten years since Stephanie Scott, a high school teacher from Leeton, NSW, was tragically murdered on school grounds by the janitor. Vincent Stanford was arrested after police found evidence linking him to the crime—scratches on his body, bloodstains in his car, and disturbing photos of Stephanie’s body on his phone. He pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to life in prison without parole. But what we’ve learned since is that Stephanie wasn’t even his intended victim. Sarah Crawford, a journalist who’s been following this case for the past decade, joins us now.

It's just over three years since Molly Bourke won her first race on Mouse Almighty at Wagga. Another 131 wins have followed, complimented by an SDRA Apprentices Premiership. Molly's talents were clearly evident when she skilfully nursed $58.00 “pop” Secret Plan over the line at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday. She's now with John Sargent at Randwick and rode 20 city winners last season. Great to catch up with the little girl from Tumbarumba who has to pinch herself to believe she's competing successfully in one of the world's toughest markets. Molly talks about her move to the big smoke just over a year ago. She looks back on her first taste of Sydney racing when she won on bush galloper Zakeriz at Canterbury late in 2022. Molly talks of her first win for new master John O'Shea at Wyong. She acknowledges a recent story about her career by Ray Hickson in the Racing NSW magazine. The apprentice looks back on the shock of her relocation to the bustling city of Sydney. Molly says it's quite an experience to ride regularly against some of Australia's best jockeys. She pays tribute to two Sydney female role models. The talented young rider takes us back to childhood days on the farm at Tumbarumba, and her early education on stock horses. She looks back on other riding pursuits. She says it was her next door neighbour who alerted her to the excitement of horse racing. Molly remembers her first experience of trackwork and an apprenticeship to local trainer George Dimitropoulos. School wasn't Molly's favourite place, but  she did well in one particular subject. Sport was a different matter. She showed plenty of ability in several endeavours. Molly vividly recalls her unimpressive race riding debut at Leeton on Mouse Almighty, and the magic of her first win at Wagga on the same little mare. She looks back on her transfer to a much busier environment at Canberra with trainer Doug Gorrel. Molly talks of the great support she received from another well known Canberra trainer, and the thrill of winning the SDRA junior title. The young jockey takes us through the freakish accident in which she was involved on the way to Albury races with Doug Gorrel. Molly has no doubt the fact that she was asleep in the passenger seat, may have saved her life. She talks about Doug's serious injury and the sad loss of a promising filly in the accident. Molly gives high praise to a select group of southern districts jockeys who helped her along the way. She makes special mention of valuable tutelage given by former jockey Darryn Murphy of the Skillinvest Employment and Training Company. Molly acknowledges the support of her master John Sargent, and the well known training talents of the expat Kiwi horseman. She was gobsmacked when given the opportunity to ride in this year's Doncaster. She talks of a few special horses to help her along the way since moving to Randwick. The Tumbarumba product says she's had to deal with one particular problem in her race riding technique. Molly says she enjoys sneaking back to her old stamping ground from time to time. Her mother Jacqie lives at Bega nowadays.  The 21 year old speaks of the downside of living in Sydney with her partner Ed Waters still in Wagga. He expects to join her at the completion of his electrical trades apprenticeship. Molly isn't a movie buff but there's one she's seen many times over. Not surprisingly it's about a horse. The apprentice expresses her gratitude for having no weight problems. It's a nice yarn with a most amiable young lady from a tiny town near the Snowy Mountains. Is it any wonder this girl can ride!

“I think we live in a world people are too, quick to throw stones throw sticks and point fingers. None of us are perfect. I certainly am not. I'm a very temperamental reactive sort of person. So, I have perfected the art of saying I'm sorry. So, I think it's really important that if you're doing something in the world, and you think, Oh, that wasn't very kind, or I could have spoken to that person in a better way, don't be afraid to go out and just say, Look, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to speak to you like that.

Pattens Transport had humble beginnings in 1938 as the family moved into trucking following a career in farming. The company steadily grew thanks to the local cannery along with a contract with Ricegrowers which lasted for almost 50 years. This resulted in the end of the transport business but in their wake the Patten family left a legacy in the Leeton district that will remain for many years to come. Bruce caught up with Jack and his son Steve in Leeton to record the history of this well-known transport company.

A vida na bela cidade rural de Leeton, uma região agrícola na Austrália era ótima para a jovem professora Stephanie Scott. Ela tinha um trabalho que amava, estava noiva e se casaria em apenas uma semana.  Nos últimos meses sua cabeça estava cheia, ela tinha muitos detalhes para resolver de seu casamento e também queria deixar tudo pronto para a professora substituta que ficaria no lugar dela enquanto estivesse em lua de mel. No dia 5 de abril seus planos eram claros: resolver algumas coisas que faltavam e ir até a escola que trabalhava para finalizar seu plano de aula.  Mas Stephanie foi e nunca mais voltou. Essa garota cheia de vida simplesmente desapareceu. E numa descoberta horripilante dos fatos esse caso demonstrou que o mau realmente pode estar escondido em qualquer lugar. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/guria-studios/message

It should have been obvious that for school cleaner Vincent Stanford, spying on girls in the bathroom was just the beginning. When he began stalking a 12-year-old pupil and amassed hundreds of photos of her, it was only a matter of time before he escalated to rape and murder. His victim was dedicated teacher Stephanie Scott, whose life he cut short just days before her wedding, in a case that shocked a small New South Wales community.Thanks for listening!

Michael Travers joined an exclusive club in 2021 when he became one of a handful of NSW jockeys to acquire a dual trainer/jockey's licence. A short time later he became the first to train and ride a winner in his home state, when successful with Estaverdi at Gundagai. A minor injury sustained at Leeton in April was enough to see Michael make the decision to train exclusively. We recorded this interview just a few days before his Gundagai double on Sunday. He talks about the reluctance of Racing NSW to issue dual licences a few years ago. He says Michelle Payne indirectly helped his cause. Michael says he's a little surprised more jockeys haven't availed themselves of the opportunity. He says attaining the licence was one thing- finding stabling in Wagga was another. Michael looks back on the thrill of his history making feat at Gundagai in 2021. He rode another winner on the day for an outside stable. He says it wasn't easy to attract owners who were happy to have the same person training and riding their horses. He pays tribute to great supporters Robyn Tatham and Peter Knight. Michael looks back on the heavy workload associated with his dual career. He knew he couldn't keep going forever. The experienced horseman looks back on teen years when his grandfather introduced him to racing. He was quickly besotted by the atmosphere of the track. Michael nominates the two horses who whetted his appetite for the game. He talks of work experience gained with two high profile Rosehill trainers of the early 1990's. One of those trainers told him he'd never make a jockey. Travers looks back on the university studies which brought him a Bachelor Of Education Degree.  With his desire to be a jockey still bubbling under the surface he gained a start with Noel Mayfield-Smith who was then training at Hawkesbury. He couldn't get the hang of it. Totally discouraged, Michael decided to put his teaching degree to good use. He talks of his time at two Sydney schools instructing in three subjects. The jockey/trainer talks of his fondness for the piano. He learned the art early in life. Michael says he was 24 years old when he approached Racing NSW apprentice coach Maurice Logue. The ever helpful Logue arranged a pre vocational course for young Travers with Albury trainer Rob Wellington. Just when Rob was about to sign him up, Michael's dad became seriously ill. He returned to the teaching trade. He says he later returned to the Wellington stable and his riding career began. He went within a nose of a win on his very first day. Michael talks of a transfer to Newcastle trainer Paul Perry. He recalls the champion sprinter he got to ride work, and some early wins for the Perry stable. He talks of his all time favourite horse Piracy who just happened to be owned by his mother Rae. The popular Riverina horseman looks back on his career injury list. He regards himself as relatively lucky. Michael talks of his intention to continue riding trackwork, and acknowledges the good recent run he's had with in form Jean Van Overmeire. He acknowledges the support of wife Jodie and makes special mention of 10 year old son Maverick and step children Cameron and Alaska. It's a laid back chat with one of Australia's most versatile horsemen.                 

"Longtime listeners might recognise the hum of Leeton's rice facility from previous projects and this recording includes my army of wind organs, which were installed in the front yard for an Art Trail last weekend. I find their gentle chortling relaxing and my partner Jo described how they became a soundtrack to her dreaming, possibly because of the strong southerlies at that time." Recorded by Bassling.
