    In the 19th century, Victorian newspapers labeled Pentridge Prison inmate John Weachurch as a "bloodthirsty werewolf."

  • Shortcut: How Did Louisa Ioannidis Die?
    Jul 21 2024

    This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.


    The 2011 death of Louisa Ioannidis was deemed as not suspicious according to the investigating police at the time.


    That simply didn't make sense to those who knew her. Including her big brother, Tass who contacted the private investigator, Julie Robson, asking for help in seeking an inquest.


    Julie joins us on Australian True Crime to discuss the results of her Investigative Podcast around Louisa's death, "Troubled Waters".


    Julia's podcasts "Chasing Charlie" and Troubled Waters" are available wherever you get your podcasts.
