The Bogle-Chandler Mystery: Sex, lies & scandals

This week on Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast, Geordie & Michelle look at the open marriages, late-night affairs and randy scientists surrounding Australia's Bogle-Chandler mystery...On New Year's Eve 1963, two lovers slipped away for a secret rendezvous on the banks of Sydney's Lane Cove River. By morning, renowned CSIRO physicist Dr. Gilbert Bogle and Margaret Chandler—the wife of one of his colleagues—were dead. What began as an illicit affair quickly became one of Australia's most baffling unsolved mysteries. There were no obvious injuries, no murder weapon and no clear cause of death. Rumours of espionage, jealous spouses, poisoning and even Cold War conspiracies were flying around as investigators struggled to explain how two healthy adults could die on the muddy banks of the river after a clandestine romantic encounter. In this episode, Geordie & Michelle explore the scandal that shocked Australia, the social stigma surrounding adultery in the early 1960s and the forensic investigation that took decades to reach an extraordinary conclusion. Was it murder, a tragic accident or something so bizarre that almost no one considered it possible? So grab a brown lemonade and settle in as the duo chat Sam Neill's death, Anne Widdicombe and more on Eavesdroppin’.
