  • City of Secrets: The Haunting Truth of the Family Murders
    Jun 13 2024

    Welcome to our cozy corner of true crime storytelling, dear listeners. I’m your host Bubbles, and nestled in the heart of South Australia is Adelaide—the city of churches, vineyards, and, unfortunately, chilling secrets.

    Growing up in Adelaide, I was blissfully unaware of the horrors that had unfolded in my own city. The Family Murders were a whispered rumor, a chilling tale that adults spoke of in hushed tones. It wasn't until I was older that I began to uncover the truth, and the darkness I discovered shook me to my core.

    Together, we'll delve into the dark underbelly of Adelaide, confronting the uncomfortable truths and seeking justice for the victims and their families. This is more than just a podcast episode for me; it's a personal journey, a quest for closure, and a tribute to the lives lost much too soon.
