Regrets and redemption: John Elias Pt 2

Ashton Kline shares with Gary Jubelin the harrowing story of his mother's murder at 15, becoming his brother's guardian overnight, and finding purpose through survival and brotherhood.

When Ashton Kline was 15, his mother Viola was murdered by his father. 

Ashton sits down with Gary Jubelin to share what led up to that day on the 27th of September, 2000, growing up walking on eggshells, the brief nine months of peace after his father left, and how in a single afternoon he had to step into an adult role to look after his chronically ill six year old brother Grant.

He talks about the promise he made to his mum: "No matter what, I will always look after Grant". Building his own toolkit for recovery from trauma, and why sharing their story now gives purpose to his mum's loss.

This is Ashton's story of survival, brotherhood, and responsibility beyond his years.

The day my dad killed my mum: Ashton Kline Pt. 1

Tim Smith's final border run ends in capture, 36 charges and up to 113 years, but prison's real cost was learning his mum had died and been buried without him.

The $100K-a-day runs are over.In Part 2, former helicopter pilot Tim Smith sits down with Gary Jubelin for what happened after the ground crew came under investigation and led straight to him.

Tim breaks down his final border run, clearing the trees by two feet at 100 miles an hour, not realising he’d been spotted from above and the moment on landing: “Mr. Smith, we’ve been waiting for you for quite a while. Welcome to the United States.”

From there the fall is fast: told he was facing a minimum of 87 years and a maximum of 113 years, hit with 36 counts, and a first night in US custody he describes as sheer terror.

And the real cost wasn’t the sentence. While locked up, Tim learns his mum had been dead two weeks and already buried, then gets the news about his brother David

US federal prison, the final drug run & the price of freedom: Tim Smith Pt. 2

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/2fdd7b5e-3838-42f3-bf83-b4dd017401e9/transcript

Before Married at First Sight, Tim Smith smuggled $100K in marijuana per helicopter run across the US/Canada border, until prison and devastating loss changed everything.

Tim Smith is best known as a groom on season 11 of Married at First Sight Australia, but that's arguably the least interesting chapter of his story. Nearly two decades earlier, he was flying helicopter loads of marijuana across the Canada/US border, pulling off at least 20 runs and pocketing around $100,000 a trip. 

It was a wild ride that couldn't last. When it all came crashing down, Tim found himself behind bars in a maximum-security US federal prison for over a year. But the real punishment began after his release, when he lost both his mum and his brother while he was locked up, powerless to be there.
