Medich/McGurk Sydney property murder:

Amusing to see our old mate Roger Rogerson make a cameo appearance.

Last December, a Canadian pharmaceuticals executive and his wife were strangled in their home. No one knows who did it or why, but everyone has a theory.

Thats a weird one , surprised it hasn't been made into a doco by netflix or amazon yet.

@jegga There's been a few suggestions that it was a murder/suicide by the husband, and the "mystery" is due to the children trying to protect his name.

There's a lot of red herrings in that one . I didn't think it was as long ago as five years though.

@tim reminds me of the lake Oconee murders.

That podcast looks good, have you listened to the RFK tapes?

Bones

@jegga have got it in my subscribed, haven't got around to it yet though. Worth it then?

@jegga cool I'll give it a bash.

I've mentioned it on podcasts before, but True Crime Garage is a good one if you like this kinda stuff. One of the hosts is a supreme knobend but once you get used to him he can be quite funny at times. These guys do it really well I reckon, most easy to listen to out of all the ones that don't focus on just one case.
