adelaide oval abduction: FRED
from sleepers
In this powerful episode of SLEEPERS, we bring you the harrowing story of Alfredo Paglia, known to all as FRED. A survivor who has spent more than a decade trying to make his voice heard. Fred's experience is not just personal; it’s deeply connected to the broader investigation into the Adelaide Oval abduction of Joanne Ratcliffe and Kirste Gordon. He names names, maps connections, and details an alleged network of abuse that, until now, has remained mainly in the shadows. With raw honesty and unwavering courage, Fred recounts the times he stepped forward to the police, to the powers that be, and the responses he received. He speaks not with bitterness, but with determination. And in doing so, he becomes a voice for many still waiting for justice. Alongside our growing team of researchers, Bryan Littlely and Max Marten explore the significance of Fred’s revelations and the patterns of inaction that have haunted this case for decades. This is not just another interview. It’s a call to remember. A call to act. A call to never again let these stories fall through the cracks. Because at SLEEPERS, the past doesn’t sleep. And neither do we. Abbreviations - SAPOL = South Australian Police Force It's time to rise - #fightlikejo
