When two dirt-bike riders found human bones in the Belanglo State Forest in Australia, 2010, police were stumped. Who was this woman? Had anyone reported

this Jane Doe as missing? Five years later, an unsuspecting motorist found a body in a suitcase on the side of the road in South Australia and once again police were confounded by the victim’s identity. So – who were these victims? Was anyone looking for them? Were they connected? This week, Michelle delves into both cases and uncovers the grim details behind the murders of Karlie and Khandalyce Pearce.

Geordie follows with a look at the unsolved case of murdered Australian woman, Rachelle Childs. When a burning body was found on a beach near Gerroa in New South Wales, Australia, in 2001, the remains were quickly identified as belonging to car-dealership worker Rachelle Childs. Police, friends and family were shocked and confused buy the grim discovery – who would want to kill Rachelle? As the subject of a new podcast series called Dear Rachelle, Geordie digs into the case and reveals the number one suspect who potentially has gotten away with murder. Listen to find out more!

The post 25: HOMETOWN MURDERS: The Angel of Belanglo, plus who killed Rachelle Childs? appeared first on Eavesdroppin' Podcast.

If you were a child with scholastic issues or behavioural problems in the early 1980s in the UK, you might have been sent to a Red House alternative education facility. The brochures told of an idyllic boarding school where children who had suffered abuse or neglect at home could thrive in an environment where sailing and horse riding were interspersed with reading, writing and arithmetic. The reality was that the Red House schools were institutions where children were regularly beaten, humiliated, sexually abused and forced into slave labour. Listen now for Geordie’s deep dive into Red House schools, the Danish founding organisation Tvind and a discussion about why it was a cult hiding in plain sight…

Michelle follows with a look at a harrowing New Zealand cult called Gloriavale. Tucked away on the west coast of New Zealand’s South Island is a religious group that was meant to be a spiritual utopia – the men worked, the women raised kids and everyone lived by the word of god and shared the spoils of communal labour. On paper, Gloriavale sounds like a dream – but it’s a cult, where men are in control and women are trained to submit, serve and stay silent. Who started this cult? How is it off the international radar? And is the cult still going now? Listen to find out.

So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus chit-chat about Steiner Schools, Geordie’s celeb Young Ones moment, Michelle’s celeb encounter with a top pop star at LAX, a guardian angel encounter from Eavesdropper Steph, plus a near miss love triangle with a Hollywood A-Lister from Eavesdropper Roxanne and more, only on Eavesdroppin’ podcast.
