Australian True Crime

Charlie Bezzina - The First Man on the Scene

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

Ten-year-olds Louise Bell and Michael Black were abducted from their bedrooms in South Australia, years apart, before police uncovered the truth about a trusted teacher who was hiding a double life of extreme violence.

An innocent man was wrongly accused along the way, and investigators were left asking whether there may have been other victims linked to the case.

Our guest is Michael Madigan, author of Father, Teacher, Child Killer.

Father, Teacher, Child Killer

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

For this episode of ATC International, we're joined by Jonathan Todd Schwartz.

Jonathan was a leading entertainment manager when he embezzled money from his superstar clients to feed his addictions.

And when I say superstar, I'm not exaggerating. Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Linkin Park and Alanis Morissette were just some of the people who trusted him with their money.

Jonathan has now dedicated his life to supporting others in addiction recovery, and you can visit his Instagram here.
