In his new book ‘Devil’s Work’, he doesn't just retell the story we're so familiar with but uses it as a starting point to take us further into the social upheaval of the time, both in England and in Australia, where his suspect ended his days.

Show Notes Ep 229 of Australian True Crime with Meshel Laurie and Emily WebbWell I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, some of the best people I’ve ever met have been to prison. Here’s another one. Catherine from Horsham went to jail, and she’s thoroughly lovely, in fact, I bet you can totally relate to her. I'm a bit delirious with our endless lockdown I have to admit. I don't think I'm ever going to be released from my home or ever hug another adult again. I'd probably love this if it was a book but this as a life sucks a big bag of dicks. It was very nice to zoom with Catherine. Our poor guests. Do you think they realise how desperate I am for their company? Anyway. All my love to you. I'll go and have another conversation with my dog now. Thank you so much for listening.Mx Buy CSI Told You Lies by Meshel Laurie hereIn PaperbackAs an ebookAs an audiobook read by Meshel You can support us with a one-off contribution here.You can become a patron here.You can subscribe to Calm Ya Farm here.You can visit the Calm Ya Farm website here. Like us on Facebook ​Follow us on Instagram or TwitterSupport us on PatreonVisit our BookshopListen on ApplePodcastsListen on GooglePodcastsListen on Spotify If you have any information on the cases covered by this podcast,please contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.  Hosted on Acast.

Episode 290 of Australian True Crime with Meshel Laurie & Emily Webb.What does organised crime have to do with supply chains…and how is forensic science used to trace things like gold, diamonds and even food.These were the questions I had for Western Australia based Cameron Scadding who is a Forensic and Analytical Chemist and founder and Managing Director of a company called Source Certain International.Over the course of his career Cameron has worked on some fascinating and strange cases using forensic science to help solve crime.and he’ll tell us about one of these cases in more detail - the theft of gold from a mine in Kalgoorlie, the hub of the Western Australian goldfields. Cameron and his team also work to reduce the ways criminals can infiltrate the supply chains of products that we all rely on…even though we may not know it.Re. The gold that was stolen in the Operation Icarus case, Cameron calculated that based on this year’s prices (2021) (which is around $80,000AUD per kilogram) the gold recovered (and remember that it’s thought that more gold was stolen than was recovered) it was worth $800,000AUD.Thanks to this week’s guest Cameron Scadding, founder and managing director of Source Certain International.If you’re interested in learning more about organised crime, Emily guest hosted a podcast episode for the ATO’s podcast Tax InVoice about financial crime called “Lying, cheating thieves”.

Show Notes Ep 225 of Australian True Crime with Meshel Laurie and Emily WebbDr Joanna Glengarry studied for 8 years to be a surgeon but not long after completing her studies and entering the theatre she realised her true passion was forensic pathology. In her native Auckland, that meant another 5 years of formal study, just to get an introduction at the city mortuary. She was taken on as a Saturday volunteer.Fortunately for Joanna, but unfortunately for Auckland, the mortuary was severely understaffed, and they had a lot of violent deaths, so she quickly picked up more shifts, even paid ones, and in no time at all Dr Glengarry became a very handy forensic pathologist. SO handy in fact that she was poached of course, by the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine or VIFM in Melbourne.Dr Glengarry is one of the pathologists featured in my book CSI Told You Lies. Buy CSI Told You Lies by Meshel Laurie hereIn PaperbackAs an ebookAs an audiobook read by Meshel  Hosted on Acast.
