Podcast appearances and mentions of robert farquharson

In this episode of Clueless Crime, we dive into the heartbreaking and controversial case of Robert Farquharson, a father convicted of a shocking act that sent shockwaves through Australia. On Father's Day in 2005, Farquharson drove his car off the road and into a dam, with his three young sons—Jai, Tyler, and Bailey—trapped inside. What initially appeared to be a devastating accident soon turned into a dark and twisted drama, as investigators unearthed a motive rooted in revenge. Was this a calculated act of retribution against his ex-wife, Cindy Gambino? Or was it a tragic accident, as Farquharson maintained? We explore the chilling details of the case, the evidence that led to his conviction, and the long-standing debates surrounding his guilt.

Megan Norris joins us again to talk about the case of Robert Farquharson.Farquharson is the Victorian man who was twice convicted of deliberately driving his car into a dam on the night of Father's Day 2005 for the purpose of murdering his three children, Jai, 10, Tyler, 7, and Bailey, 2. He also launched two failed appeals against his convictions. Recently 60 Minutes devoted an entire episode to the story in which they called for yet another review of the evidence.No one knows this case like Megan Norris. She's a journalist and author who started her career as a court reporter. Megan followed this case from the very beginning, first to write a series of magazine articles. But through that process, Megan developed a close relationship with the mother of the three boys, Cindy Gambino. Cindy asked Megan to write a book about what she was going through, and thank goodness she did, because since Cindy's own death in 2022, that book "On Father's Day" has been her only voice.Megan joins us on Australian True Crime to represent Cindy and to take us back through the evidence against Robert Farquharson.You can click this link to view all of Megan Norris' books, including "On Father's Day".Australian True Crime LIVE is coming to Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne this July!

Robert Farquharson was convicted for murdering his three sons after driving into a dam on purpose on Father's Day in 2005. A new campaign is trying to prove he is innocent - that he suffered a medical episode. In this episode of The Briefing we hear the other side of the story from crime journalist and author Megan Norris, who covered the original criminal trials and feels a sense of obligation to be a voice for Cindy Gambino -- the mother of the three dead children who is no longer here to tell her side of the story.

It's the ultimate unthinkable. A father of three drives his children off the road and into a dam. The car sinks. And the father is the only person to get out alive. All three children drown. That father, Victorian man Robert Farquharson, has been in prison for the murder of his children, for much of the past 19 years.  But could he have been wrongly convicted?  On the eve of a lawyer launching a new appeal, a group of scientists, doctors and lawyers are arguing that key parts of the evidence that convicted Robert Farquharson don't stack up.  Today, investigative reporter Michael Bachelard on following the rope of evidence that convicted the father of three, and the new information that may unravel his prosecution altogether.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you were in Australia in the mid noughties, you'll probably remember the Robert Farquharson case.  He was the dad who drove his three sons into a dam on Father's Day in 2005, supposedly in an act of revenge against his ex-wife. Faquaruason infamously got out of the car, his three boys did not and drowned.  A new joint investigation between 60 Minutes, The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald has uncovered new scientific evidence which raises serious questions about what really happened that day.  Nine Papers investigative reporter, Nick Mckenzie, joins Luke Grant to chat about what experts are saying might have happened that day and if the new evidence is strong enough to warrant a potential re-trial. You can watch Nick McKenzie's tantalising report on Channel 9's 60 Minutes on Sunday 2 June at 8pm. You can also stream it anytime through 9NOW:  www.9now.com.au The podcast of the story, Trial by Water, is out now on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.  Episode 2 will be available exclusively to subscribers from June 8 and on your podcast app of choice from June 15.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Father's Day, 2005, Robert Farquharson crashed his car into a dam. He survived, but his three children who were in the car with him didn't. At first it seemed like a tragic accident.

In this episode we speak with the chief executive of the Australian Academy of Science, Anna-Maria Arabia, who leads a growing band of people expressing concern about the evidence used to convict Robert Farquharson of the murder of his three sons. The Victorian father drove his car, with the three boys inside, into a dam on Father's Day, 2005, for which he is serving a 33 year sentence. Arabia unpicks the evidence used in his case and calls for better science to be presented in the legal system in general. Hosting the episode is a journalist who's spent months combing through the Farquharson evidence, Michael Bachelard, a senior writer with The Age.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Im September 2005 ereilt die Kleinstadt Winchelsea in Australien eine schreckliche Tragödie: bei einem Unfall ertrinken drei kleine Jungen. Doch was zunächst wie ein tragischer Autounfall aussieht, entpuppt sich als grauenvoller Mord - begangen vom eigenen Vater der drei Kinder, der nur ein Motiv hat: sich an seiner Ex-Frau zu rächen. **Solltest du für deinen Podcast oder einen Beitrag meinen Podcast als Quelle nutzen, freue ich mich über Credits.** Quellen: https://pastebin.com/jcRV1cw7 Bildquelle: https://bit.ly/3tqROxm Mehr von Kati Winter: https://linktr.ee/katiwinter

It's 17 years since Cindy Gambino's ex-husband Robert Farquharson murdered their three sons, ten-year-old Jai, seven-year old Tyler and three-year old Bailey by deliberately driving his car into a dam on the side of the Princes highway, near Winchelsea, West of Geelong on father's day in 2005. Cindy Gambino died last week as the result of a medical emergency at her home in country Victoria. She was just 50 years old. Journalist and author Megan Norris developed a close relationship with Cindy in the years after the boys' deaths as they worked on a book together. The book is called On Father's Day, and Megan was one of our first guests on Australian True Crime back in 2017. She joined us to talk about the extraordinary experience of writing that book.You can pre order Megan Norris's upcoming book 'Messiah's Bride' here. CREDITS:Host: Meshel Laurie.

It's Father's Day, 2005, and Robert Farquharson is driving his three sons, Jai, Tyler and Bayley, home to their mother's house. They'd spent the day together, with their mum, Cindy Gambino, helping the boys put together a Father's Day gift for Robert. It was a framed photo of his three sons, aged 10, seven, and two.  As a treat, Robert took the boys to Kmart where he bought them toys, and then to KFC for dinner in Geelong.  Afterward, they set off along the Princes Highway, on their way to Winchelsea.  It was on this route, that the unthinkable happened.  The white VN Commodore Robert was driving veered across the highway, crashed through a fence, and began to sink in a farm dam.  Their mother, Cindy, would call it the ‘blackest ever night'.  It is a case that has imprinted itself on the memory of Victorians. But perhaps, author Chris Brook asks, all is not as it seems.   CREDITS Guest: Chris Brook Host: Jessie Stephens Producer: Gia Moylan Audio Producer: Ian Camilleri   CONTACT US Tell us what you think of the show via email at truecrime@mamamia.com.au   Join our closed Facebook community to discuss this episode.

In Australia, Father’s Day falls on the first Sunday of September and is typically a time for families to gather together and celebrate.

Megan Norris was one of our very first guests on Australian True Crime. In Episode 3 she spoke to us about her excellent book, On Father’s Day, in which she tells the story of Cindy Gambino, whose ex-husband Robert Farquharson murdered their three sons, Jai, Tyler and Bailey, by driving them into a dam on Father’s Day in 2005. Megan is the only author to have interviewed Cindy and they spent many many hours together in the weeks, months and years after the event, as Cindy moved from supporting Robert and believing his story about a coughing fit causing a terrible accident, to coming to terms with the fact that he’d planned and carried out the murder of her children to punish her for leaving him. It’s an intimate and harrowingly close observation of a woman accepting the unacceptable. In today’s episode, Megan joins Emily Webb and Vikki Petraitis to discuss a Queensland case she’s been following, that of a so-called Black Widow, Patricia Byers.Warning: please be advised this episode contains graphic content.Show notes for Episode 94:Your hosts are Meshel Laurie and Emily WebbWith thanks to Megan Norris and Vikki Petraitis More about Look What You Made Me Do: Fathers Who Kill by Megan NorrisLike us on Facebook ​Follow us on Instagram or TwitterSupport us on PatreonVisit our BookshopListen on Apple PodcastsListen on Google PodcastsListen on SpotifyIf you have any information on the cases covered by this podcast, please contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.Thank you for listening!

Auckland Writers Festival 2015 The quest for justice has seldom been more grippingly documented than in the book This House of Grief. The Australian novelist, essayist, screenwriter and journalist Helen Garner witnessed the trial of Robert Farquharson, charged with murdering his three children by drowning. This is not her first attempt to grapple with complex issues of justice and truth – Joe Cinque’s Consolation and The First Stonecanvas equally disturbing territory. The much-awarded, sometimes controversial, Garner talks to Mary Peters.

Would a man really stage an accident to murder his three children and get back at his estranged wife? That’s the question Helen Garner concerns herself with in this intimately observed court-house novel. The book follows the case of Robert Farquharson, accused of deliberately driving his car into a dam near Geelong. While the case captured, angered and horrified the nation, this novel is a meticulous study of character, of truth, and the reliability of memory.  It’s a brilliantly written, fly on the wall view of this tragic story.
