The Monster Next Door: Dieter Pfennig | Michael Madigan

Adam Shand sits down with author Michael Madigan to discuss his book Father Teacher Child Killer, the chilling account of Dieter Pfennig, the South Australian man now serving life for the murders of 10-year-olds Louise Bell and Michael Black. Louise Bell vanished from her bedroom in Hackham West on the night of January 3rd, 1983 — taken without a sound while her younger sister slept beside her. Six years later, Michael Black disappeared from the Murray Bridge riverbank on what was meant to be his first solo fishing trip. Both cases went cold for years, haunted by false leads, a wrongful conviction and Pfennig's sadistic games with police. Madigan also explores the disturbing question that lingers: how many more? Pfennig's movements during school holidays, his connections to the families of other missing children and the unsettling echoes of cases like Eloise Worledge and the Adelaide Oval abductions suggest his crimes may stretch far beyond what he's been convicted of. Father Teacher Child Killer by Michael Madigan is available now. https://www.booktopia.com.au/father-teacher-child-killer-michael-madigan/ebook/9781764386142.html?srsltid=AfmBOoonKackHoFbhNqJJt3V9MkINs_CjEM_f86JgAFEUKjpGhqOYGjqSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
