Ep 6 - Snowtown, Part 2
from You're Killing Me Hosted by Shawnee & Joel Harris
Eight bodies. Six plastic barrels. One abandoned bank vault in the middle of nowhere. By the end of the 1990s, John Bunting’s murderous “cleansing” campaign had escalated beyond backyard interrogations into full-scale slaughter — and Snowtown became the silent storage facility for the group’s dead. In Part Two of this two-hour deep dive, we follow the Snowtown killers as their crimes spiral out of control: the betrayal of close associates, the murders of family members, the filling of the barrels, the final victim lured to his death — and the moment the smell finally leads police to the bank vault that would shock Australia. This episode traces: • The late-stage murders from 1997–1999 • The group’s move to Snowtown and use of the abandoned bank • The final victims — including family betrayals • The police discovery inside the vault • The longest murder trial in South Australian history • The devastating impact on a town forever tied to the killings Twelve victims. Four men. And a country town that became synonymous with horror through no fault of its own. Listener discretion advised. 🎧 This is Part Two of a two-part series.
