Summary

After the Western Australian gold rush of the late 1800s, there was little work available in the isolated Murchison region. Those lucky enough to find jobs were the ones willing to tough it out in the harsh conditions of the small towns and stations along the Rabbit Proof Fence. Due to the transient nature of these communities, it wasn’t unusual for people to leave without ever being heard from again.--- Episode narrated by the Anonymous HostResearched by Holly BoydWritten by Elsha McGillCreative Director: Milly RasoFor all credits and sources please visit casefilepodcast.com/case-150-the-murchison-murders Hosted on Acast.
