A Bizarre Melbourne Murder, the Housing Slump & a Big Man Cave Close

from Bonafide with Luke Bona · host Luke Bona

Luke sits down with Shane Oliver, Chief Economist at AMP, to unpack the housing market slump, what negative equity actually means, and what the 5% deposit scheme has done for first home buyers. Then Australia's own true-crime authority Adam Shand joins for the incredible, twist-filled story of the murder of Herman Rockefeller — a Melbourne multi-millionaire who led a secret double life under a fake name — plus the still-unsolved William Tyrrell mystery and a Chopper Read confession that's never been proved. Then it's over to the Man Cave, where Adam McDonald joins from his flash new studio, Granny Sue's back on the line, and the BOM, Optus and the Commonwealth Games all cop a serve.⚠ This episode discusses a real historical homicide in detail, including an unresolved missing-child case.
