Episode 430 - Fred McDermott: Murderer without a Corpse Part 2

from Weird Crap in Australia Hosted by The Modern Meltdown

In 1936, a man disappeared from the small New South Wales town of Grenfell. More than a decade later, a travelling shearer named Fred McDermott found himself at the centre of a murder investigation that would change his life forever. Join Holly & Matthew as they explore the disappearance of Harry Lavers, the investigation that followed, and the extraordinary case against Fred McDermott. With conflicting evidence, unanswered questions and a murder that seemed to have no body, the case would become one of the more remarkable chapters in Australia's criminal justice history.
