FORENSICS | Ned Kelly

Ned Kelly was executed in 1880, yet he remains one of the most iconic and divisive figures in Australian history. For more than a century, a question has haunted historians, scientists, and the public alike: What happened to his remains? In this episode, we follow the high-stakes forensic investigation that set out to uncover the truth. Professor David Ranson from the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine, takes host Liz Porter inside the two-year effort to reconstruct history from fragments of bone, historical news clippings, and long-forgotten medical records, eventually untangling fact from folklore.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
