Podcast appearances and mentions of olivia hope

On New Year's Eve 1997, 17-year-old Olivia Hope and her close friend Ben Smart vanished after a party at the remote Furneaux Lodge in New Zealand's stunning Marlborough Sounds. They were last seen boarding a water taxi in the early hours of the morning with a man who's never been conclusively identified. What followed was one of New Zealand's most high-profile investigations, leading to the arrest and conviction of Scott Watson — a man who still claims he's innocent. But the deeper you look into this case, the murkier it gets. With wildly conflicting witness statements, contaminated evidence, an allegedly unreliable memory, and new information buried for decades, this case has everything: mystery, obsession, media bias, and a whole lot of reasonable doubt ... or is there? Today, Kristin dives deep into the 40,000-page police file and multiple sources on both sides of this controversial case to try and answer one big question: Did Scott Watson really kill Ben and Olivia… or was he wrongfully convicted?

Llegando a barrer de tarde y ya casi en fechas de San Valentin, llega la 3a cápsula de la serie de "Crímenes en Navidad" en este caso, les platicaré sobre una misteriosa desaparición de 2 chicos de Nueva Zelanda cuyos restos nunca fueron recuperados y cuyo caso se volvió uno de los misterios más mediáticos y controversiales del país de los maories. Acompáñenme a escuchar sobre este misterio que a la fecha sigue sin tener respuesta y cuyo principal responsable, posiblemente no haya tenido nada más que ver, que el hecho de pasar por ahí cuando todo ocurrió.

While The Front Page is on summer break, we’re taking a look back at some of the biggest news stories and top-rated episodes from the podcast in 2024. The disappearances of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope on New Year’s Day 1998 remain one of New Zealand’s infamous cases. Scott Watson has spent the last 25 years behind bars after being convicted of murdering them, despite no bodies ever being found. In June, Watson headed back to the courtroom four years after his case was referred to the Court of Appeal – it's his last shot at clearing his name. There’s still no word yet on the result of his latest appeal. We spoke with NZ Herald senior journalist Carolyne Meng Yee and editorial leader Oskar Alley – who took us back to 1999 when they both covered Watson’s infamous first trial, and ran through the evidence making up this appeal with senior reporter David Fisher. New episodes return January 13th. Host: Chelsea Daniels Audio Engineers: Paddy Fox, Richard Martin Executive Producer: Ethan Sills See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cynric Temple-Camp is one of New Zealand's top pathologists - and he has just published his third book about his work. The Final Diagnosis is a collection of stranger-than-fiction stories of death, disease and murder - as well as Temple-Camp sharing new perspectives on high-profile cases, including the disappearance of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope and the trial of Mark Lundy. A Moment In Crime host Anna Leask spoke with Temple-Camp about the book, his career and why he is sure beyond reasonable doubt that Lundy is guilty.  Episodes of A Moment In Crime - written and hosted by Leask - usually focus on old cases, cold cases or recent cases of national and international significance involving Kiwi offenders or victims. But this episode comes from the other side of the cordon - from a person often charged with determining how and why a person died and, who is responsible. To read more about Temple-Camp, the Lundy case and other crimes covered by Leask for the Herald, click here. Episodes of A Moment In Crime are usually released monthly and, so far, Leask has covered more than 55 cases including the murders of Grace Millane, Scott Guy, Austin Hemmings, Carmen Thomas, Karen Aim; the deaths of the Kahui Twins, the Edgeware Rd murders, the Bain family murders, the Christchurch House of Horrors and the massacres at Raurimu and Aramoana. Last year, a three-part special covered the case of rich lister and philanthropist James Wallace who was convicted of sexually assaulting three men and was jailed and had his knighthood stripped from him as a result. A Moment In Crime has topped the overall and true crime charts on numerous occasions, and has listeners in more than 80 countries. The podcast was a finalist at the 2024 NZ Radio & Podcast Awards and won a silver award in the true crime category at the inaugural New Zealand Podcast Awards in 2021.

The Spoiled Heart by Sunjeev Sahota: Nayan Olak is a union man through and through, who feels his time has come to take on the leadership of Britain's largest union and is almost guaranteed the job. He's never recovered from losing his mother and son in a house fire 20 years ago, but a relationship with Helen, a mysterious woman who's returned to his town with her teenage son after many years away, offers some kind of a future. Nayan though is a man on the edge of a precipice, and he's about to be blindsided. The author also wrote the wonderful China Room which was longlisted for the Booker Prize. The Final Diagnosis by Cynric Temple Camp: He's a forensic pathologist and the author of two previous books both of which were bestsellers. He says that the 'if' of death is certain. The 'when' is unknown. It's the 'why' that really gets people's interest and these are more strange-but-true stories of death, disease and murder, as well as new perspectives on high-profile cases, including the disappearance of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope, the trial of Mark Lundy, and the ill-fated journey of Ansett New Zealand Flight 703.

Of more 1500 people celebrating the New Year at Furneaux Lodge at the start of 1998, only Scott Watson had the propensity, motive and opportunity to kill Ben Smart and Olivia Hope according to the Crown at the Court of Appeal, Ruth Hill reports.

A detective told a key witness in the Scott Watson case he was "lying" when he initially said Watson wasn't the man he had seen on the night Ben Smart and Olivia Hope were murdered, Ruth Hill was in court for day 4 of the Court of Appeal hearing.

Today is the last day of the appeal hearing for Watson, who is trying to overturn his convictions for the murders of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope on New Year's Day 1998. Reporter Ruth Hill spoke to Corin Dann.

Just how reliable is the evidence of those two blonde hairs purportedly found on Scott Watson's boat? That's the big question for the Court of Appeal this week. It's day three of the hearing, which is Scott Watson's 4th attempt to overturn his convictions for the murders of Olivia Hope and Ben Smart in the Marlbrough Sounds in 1998.

We're only just a couple of weeks in, but this year's season of winter ills seems to have hit us full on. We talk to the Medical Director of New Zealand's Royal College of GPs, Dr Luke Bradford . The appeal by Scott Watson against his conviction for the Sounds killing of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope is coming to an end. We look back over what's happened in the past week. Later today, the second part of season three of Bridgerton drops. Why has is it so seriously popular? We chat with Lorna Piatti-Farnell, a professor in pop culture at the Auckland University of Technology.

Two blonde hairs linked to murder victim Olivia Hope have been the focus of Scott Watson's appeal in court today. Watson is attempting to overturn his convictions for the murders of Ms Hope, who was 17 and Ben Smart, 21 after a New Year's Eve party in the Marlborough Sounds in 1998. Ruth Hill reports.

How two blonde hairs linked to murder victim Olivia Hope ended up on a boat - or whether they made it on board at all - has been under scrutiny at the Court of Appeal. Ruth Hill spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Scott Watson's face "plastered" across TV screens months before his arrest for the murders of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope could have influenced eye witnesses, the Court of Appeal was told today, Ruth Hill reports.

A new report into witness reliability in Scott Watson's second attempt before the Court of Appeal has been challenged by the Crown. Watson was found guilty of murdering friends Ben Smart and Olivia Hope in 1999. The pair were last seen getting off a water taxi onto a yacht in the Marlborough Sounds on New Year's Eve. Open Justice reporter Catherine Hutton says the report presented as evidence by the defence today argues many witness accounts were unreliable in his trial. Meanwhile the Crown responded, saying there were many holes in the contents of the report. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Double murderer Scott Watson - who's spent a quarter of a century in prison for the murders of young Blenheim friends Ben Smart and Olivia Hope - will have his case heard again today Monday by the Court of Appeal. Ruth Hill spoke to Charlotte Cook.

On today's episode, the Government says its reversal of the oil and gas exploration ban is a necessary move in the country's transition to clean energy, we hear from Resources Minister Shane Jones and Greens co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick, in the just released NBR's annual Rich List, the Mowbray family have overtaken Graeme Hart to become the country's wealthiest person or family, double murderer Scott Watson - who's spent a quarter of a century in prison for the murders of young Blenheim friends Ben Smart and Olivia Hope - will have his case heard again today Monday by the Court of Appeal and we cross the Tasman to get the latest from Kerry-Anne Walsh.

The Court of Appeal begins a second appeal into the Scott Watson murder case, today.   Friends Ben Smart and Olivia Hope were last seen getting off a water taxi onto a yacht in the Marlborough Sounds on New Year's Eve more than 26 years ago.   Watson was convicted of double-murder in 1999 following a three-month jury trial in the High Court in Wellington.   It's accepted the pair met their deaths after boarding a stranger's yacht with a man -- the Crown says that man was Watson.   Watson's always denied killing or even meeting them. This appeal is of his conviction -- and Watson's team can include new expert evidence about the reliability of forensic evidence.  Criminal defence lawyer John Munro told Mike Hosking “Transference of DNZ is much more understandable now, so is hairs.”  Munro said the key issue is whether he's had a fair trial. It won't just ‘turn on the hairs' – the judge will focus on whether he was in fact spotted on water taxi.  LISTEN ABOVE. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He's already served 25 years for murdering Olivia Hope and Ben Smart in the Marlborough Sounds; today, the Court of Appeal will begin hearing Scott Watson's latest bid to prove his innocence. Mike White, who's investigated the case since the start, explains how Watson hopes to overturn his conviction. Plus: Why loan sharks seem dead in the water, the next play for streaming giants and the mayor literally caught with his pants down.

The 1998 deaths of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope remain one of New Zealand's most talked about cases. Scott Watson has spent the last 25 years behind bars after being convicted of murdering them, despite no bodies ever being found. Now, Watson is heading back to the courtroom four years after his case was referred back to the Court of Appeal, in what is his last shot at clearing his name. Today on The Front Page, we're going back to 1999 with NZ Herald senior journalist Carolyne Meng Yee and editorial leader Oskar Alley who covered Watson's first trial, and then get a rundown on the appeal case with investigative reporter David Fisher.  For more on the Scott Watson case, listen to Chasing Ghosts: Murder in the Sounds wherever you get your podcast.  And for more on Scott Watson's trial, click here: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/double-murderer-scott-watson-to-stay-behind-bars-as-parole-board-seek-clarity-over-differing-psychological-reports/QXMO2GJ32JFRRMHF36Y77B3PS4/  A previous version of this episode didn't include the fact hairs were found on a blanket on the Blade and two of those hairs on the blanket were found to have DNA characteristics that matched Olivia.

While we're on our summer break, The Front Page is taking a look back at some of the biggest news stories and top-rated episodes from the podcast this year.   New Year's Day, 2024 will mark 26 years since Ben Smart and Olivia Hope disappeared.  In the early hours of New Year's Day, 1998, the two accepted an offer to stay aboard a man's yacht while staying in the Marlborough Sounds. They were never seen again. Their disappearances and presumed deaths have been pegged on Scott Watson for over two decades, but despite still being behind bars, Watson has always maintained his innocence. The case has long divided the country between those who are convinced of Watson's guilt, and those who don't think justice was served. Last year, broadcaster Paul Henry wrote a powerful piece for the Herald, revealing his beliefs that – even if Watson is guilty – there has been a miscarriage of justice.   New episodes return January 15th.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vuoden 1997 uuden vuoden aattona 17-vuotias Olivia Hope ja 21-vuotias Ben Smart viettivät iltaa yhdessä Marlborough Soundsin saaristossa. Heidän oli tarkoitus nukkua yönsä vuokratulla veneellä, mutta heidän saavuttuaan sinne juhlimisen jälkeen he huomasivat veneen olevan täynnä. Olivian ja Benin oli keksittävä itselleen uusi nukkumapaikka keskellä yötä. He hyppäsivät vesitaksin kyytiin, jossa ollut tuntematon matkustaja tarjosi heille yöpaikkaa jahdiltaan. Tämän jälkeen Olivia ja Ben katosivat jäljettömiin.

Under de tidiga morgontimmarna den 1 januari 1998 valde 21-årige Ben Smart och 17-åriga Olivia Hope att hoppa på en segelbåt tillsammans med en okänd man i Marlborough Sounds, Nya Zeeland. Innan detta hade de haft en härlig kväll och firat in det nya året tillsammans med sina vänner. Efter det här ögonblicket har vännerna aldrig setts till igen och kropparna har aldrig hittats. Däremot blev en man dömd för Ben och Olivias försvinnande och antagna mord. Processen kring utredningen och den följande rättegången har därefter blivit hårt kritiserad och ifrågasatt. Det här anses än idag vara ett av Nya Zeelands mest kontroversiella fall och en stor del av befolkningen är fortfarande övertygade om att mannen ifråga har blivit oskyldigt dömd. Del 2 av detta avsnitt släpps idag 10 april kl 11.00 (ev fördröjning kan förekomma i vissa appar).Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/rysarpodden/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/rysarpoddenMail:rysarpodden@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Andi continues the tale of Olivia Hope and Ben Smart. Andi takes Ayla on a two-parter, covering the disappearances of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope. The two friends were celebrating the New Year of 1998 at Furneaux Lodge in Marlborough Sounds, and went back to their yacht in the early morning. With no place onboard to sleep, they were picked up again around 3.30am where they were offered a place by a stranger. They were dropped with the stranger between 4 and 5am, and have not been seen since. A boat was seized shortly after that found hairs on board matching Olivia. Scott Watson was found to be the stranger and was sentenced to life imprisonment. This is despite there being no evidence for the two-trip theory, which meant Scott had to leave his yacht and come back to shore before hopping on the water taxi with Ben and Olivia. It has led many to think this was a case of wrongful imprisonment.

The two friends were celebrating the New Year of 1998 at Furneaux Lodge in Marlborough Sounds, and went back to their yacht in the early morning. With no place onboard to sleep, they were picked up again around 3.30am where they were offered a place by a stranger. They were dropped with the stranger between 4 and 5am, and have not been seen since. A boat was seized shortly after that found hairs on board matching Olivia. Scott Watson was found to be the stranger and was sentenced to life imprisonment. This is despite there being no evidence for the two-trip theory, which meant Scott had to leave his yacht and come back to shore before hopping on the water taxi with Ben and Olivia. It has led many to think this was a case of wrongful imprisonment.

For the last 25 years, the disappearances of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope has been a constant source of speculation and controversy.  The two disappeared in the early hours of New Year's Day, 1998, after accepting an offer to stay aboard a man's yacht while staying in the Marlborough Sounds.   Scott Watson was convicted of their murders in 1999. Now, Watson and his supporters hope a return to the Court of Appeal in May could finally set him free.  Today, broadcaster Paul Henry joins Damien to discuss what has motivated him to campaign for Watson's case now, a quarter century after Olivia Hope and Ben Smart were lost.  Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

Todays we present two insane crimes that happened decades ago, however recent developments within them have brought them back into the news. The first one, while despite being considered solved, remains highly disputed and thus it is considered the most controversial case in New Zealand. The second story just recently got the development that everyone was hoping for, and the cold case of Joy Hibbs may finally have been solved.--------------------------------------------

It's New Year's Eve, 1997, and 17-year-old Olivia Hope is getting ready for a party at Furneaux Lodge, a beautiful old residence that sits at the head of one of the bays and coves that make up The Marlborough Sounds. A picturesque holiday spot on the northern end of New Zealand's south island where the bush meets the sea. The lodge is only accessible by boat, so Olivia, her older sister, and their friends have booked a chartered yacht called Tamarack that will deliver them to the celebrations after an afternoon basking in the sun. Furneaux is the place to be on New Years and the local teenagers are getting ready to dance away the night with 15-hundred other partygoers. Over in Punga Cove, just across the inlet, Ben Smart is partying the afternoon away with mates. He too has plans to join the fun at Furno and hitches a ride over on a boat as the party gets started. But what happens to Ben and Olivia after the clock strikes midnight, will become one of the most high-profile and hotly contested murder investigations New Zealand has ever seen.

It was supposed to be a night of celebration, ringing in New Year's 1998 with good friends in an ideal location. Ben Smart and Olivia Hope were celebrating in Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand. But when the bunk on their rental yacht was taken by other party-goers, they accepted an offer by a charming stranger to sleep aboard his boat. They climbed aboard that stranger's boat and were never seen again. Police and judges believe they arrested the man responsible for Ben and Olivia's disappearance, and possible murder. However, over 20 years later, the mystery around their disappearance remains. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/patrick-conn/support

Today we cover the trial of Scott Watson. The man who was arrested for the murders of Olivia Hope and Ben Smart. This was a three month trial with over 500 witnesses but hardly any evidence. This trial was heavily controversial.  Do you think that Scott Watson murdered Olivia Hope and Ben Smart. Or do you think that police were too narrow sighted and let the real killer walk free.

Ben and Olivia were a couple of friends looking to make the most out of their New Year's celebration together. They had plans to attend a party at a lodge and then spend the night on a yacht—but when they finally arrived at the yacht on a water taxi, they were shocked to learn that the yacht was full. A fellow passenger aboard the water taxi would offer them a place to sleep—on his own yacht—and they would happily accept. This decision would make the end of their tale. The duo was never seen again, but someone is in prison for their murders.

Despite our current world situation, many people are planning for pretty epic New Year's events this coming weekend, and to celebrate in our own way, we decided to cover people who were murdered while at parties. And wow, this topic is vast, with so many different types of parties to choose from - boat parties, New Year's parties, even meth fueled parties (the worst kind, we think)! But who can really rank how terrible each party is if they all end in murder? We certainly try!

Zur letzten Folge des Jahres meldet sich Mord To Go nochmal zurück mit einer Silvesterfolge. Dabei reden die beiden über Neujahrsvorsätze, ihre liebsten True Crime Entdeckungen des Jahres und was sie selbst für ein Verbrechen begehen würden, wenn sie nie erwischt würden. Außerdem gibt es natürlich auch dieses Mal einen passenden Fall aus dem Jahr 1997: In Neuseeland wollten zwei Freunde zusammen mit 1500 weiteren Menschen den Beginn des neuen Jahres feiern. Leider zelebrierten sie stattdessen den letzten Tag ihres Lebens ohne es zu Wissen. Was damals wirklich passiert ist und wer hinter dem Verschwinden von Olivia Hope und Ben Smart steckt wirft auch heute noch Rätsel auf. Arabella und Saskia verabschieden sich damit vom Jahr 2021, wünschen euch einen guten Rutsch und freuen sich auf viele neue Folgen 2022!

New Year, New Crime!!! Today we cover the disappearance of two friends after a raging New Years Eve party in New Zealand. After an abundance of questioning, the police focus in on a suspect, but do they even have the right man? With no bodies, and no physical evidence we are left to ponder and hope that the trial will bring something more to light. Do you think police have the right man, or do you think they got tunnel vision too early in the investigation. Let me know!

Marlborough Sounds killer Scott Watson has again been denied parole, 23 years after he was imprisoned for the murder of Ben Smart and Olivia Hope. The 50-year-old was sentenced to life in prison in 1998 with a minimum non parole period of 17 years. He has always protested his innocence, and his father says today's ruling is frustrating. Conan Young sat in on the hearing.

A brand new story by Olivia Hope, made in collaboration with Siamsa Tire Theatre in Tralee. Two siblings get lost in the woods. There they meet a mysterious traveller and embark on an adventure that sees them encountering a cheeky púca, some lost souls, and a choir of banshees.

Olivia LoRusso was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia when she was 11 years old. Her mother Shelley will talk about her very difficult battle with this disease which led to her passing in April of 2017.  Since that time Shelley started the Olivia Hope Foundation which is focused on both research and in helping families that are going through the very unfortunate experience that Shelley, her husband Rob, and her daughters Gia and Sabrina, (Olivia's twin) had to endure while watching  this disease take hold of their beloved Olivia.

This episode does not take place in Nashville. It's about as far, geographically, as you can get from Music City. But it is a FASCINATING case, and even though it doesn't deal with my adoptive hometown, I hope that you'll enjoy it, just the same. In the early morning hours of January 1, 1998, Ben Smart and Olivia Hope went missing after attending a lake party near a site called Furneaux Lodge. It's one of the most famous true crime cases in all of New Zealand's history. I won't spoil any of the other details, but just know it's a story worth checking out! My main source for the episode was a book entitled Ben & Olivia: What Really Happened. I also enlisted the help of user Emmao123 for the intro, so if you have any Australian voiceover needs, she's your go-to person!

Two friends are on a New Year's trip in the Marlborough Sound of southern New Zealand. They take a water taxi operated by Guy Wallace back to their chartered yacht, boarding with three other passengers, and take a rain check on another part of the island with a "mysterious man". They are never to be seen again. Their bodies have never been found; an alleged innocent man is now in prison serving time for their murders. Who killed Ben Smart and Olivia Hope? *** Pictures and sources can be found here. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

After a night of celebrating the new year of 1998 in the Marlborough Sounds in New Zealand, Ben Smart and Olivia Hope were offered a place to crash for the night by a stranger they met on a water taxi. The three were dropped off at the man’s sailboat, and unfortunately Ben and Olivia were never seen again. Investigators claimed this unknown third man was 26 year old Scott Watson. He was arrested and put on trial for the murders of Ben and Olivia. But was there enough evidence to find him guilty of these crimes? Was Scott Watson truly the man responsible for their disappearances, or was he targeted for other reasons?

Oliva Hope & Ben Smart had a wonderful start to the new year. Upon taking a water taxi back to the yacht they were supposed to stay on, they found out that all the beds had been taken. Getting back on the water taxi they were offered a place to sleep by an unknown male. When the driver dropped the group of three off nothing seemed out of place, but that was the last time Oliva & Ben were seen.Noped Podcast (Starting Jan.): https://twitter.com/NopedPodcastPatreon: https://bit.ly/38XjzSKBuy My Book: https://bit.ly/2Wl6KwpTwitter: https://twitter.com/GreatUnsolvedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/greatunsolvedpod/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GreatUnsolvedPod/All other links: https://linktr.ee/thegreatunsolvedThe Great Unsolved is a partner of the Oracl3 Network. http://theoracl3network.com

He's covered wars like Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq. He's written another book called “Who Killed Scott Guy?”. For North and South he knows the Lundy case inside out. His story was part of international experts coming on board and forcing a second trial for Lundy.He's not afraid to shake things up.He covered the Ben Smart and Olivia Hope case in the Sounds and received an invitation from Scott Watson to interview him in jail. A request that the Department of Corrections denied and which Mike White then fought all the way to the High Court. After a year he won the right which he said was a win for journalism. He then brokered a meeting between Watson and Olivia Hope's Dad, which he also covered.He's done a great job and he's had very supportive employers and supporters. Journalism is about getting all the story including the bits that some won't agree with. And he has waded though detail and sat through months of courtroom testimony and then agonised about writing the story in the right way.To various degrees this is what journalists do. Some cover the bare facts of a story of the day and tell that story. Others cover a story until a punctuation mark. A few cover stories to the bitter and. They're all important in telling the rest of us what the full story is.One of the more disappointing things about modern life is hearing journalists be vilified by too many people. And those people have skin in the game. There is part of the story that they are part of that they don't want told. They want to control whatever the truth is.Politicians calling journalists liars is the richest kettle calling the pot black game there can ever be. It's got so bad some people charged with telling the story claim others telling the story are wrong. The number of people in the mainstream media dissing the mainstream media is astounding. It's a delusion for favour. No matter what Fox News tells you. They are in fact mainstream media.Of course I say this as we stand on the brink of losing another newsroom. Say what you will about the Newshub newsroom. Newsrooms are important and the possible loss of one will only be celebrated by people who often lie for a living. To find the real truth you need as many point of views as you can get. No-one should ever think a loss of a point of view is a good thing.But the wonderful thing about Mike White is that while wading through murders and disambiguation he still lives a normal life and loves his dog Cooper and he has written THE book on dogs. And people.His book made me cry. I have a dog. Saffi. Named after a dragon in a kids book. We got Saffi nearly 15 years ago because we finally bought a dog friendly house. 3 weeks ago we sold that house as we downsize. The kids are moving on. Mike reminded me that soon the dog will be moving on. And it broke my heart. He is a great writer and journalist.

January 01, 1998. Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand. Two friends celebrating New Year's Eve ran into trouble after the boat they had planned to get on was overcrowded. They located a water taxi still operating and got in. Sharing the ride was a man who learned that they had nowhere to sleep and offered to let them stay on his boat. As this was their only real option they accepted and the taxi took them to the man's ketch. The two friends, Olivia Hope and Ben Smart, were never seen again. The police conducted an investigation and despite a number of witnesses describing the same man and the same two masted sailing boat, they focused on a man with a smaller vessel named Scott Watson. Where this true crime case went from there has been a source of controversy ever since...
