Sharks, dead bodies & black water - the life of a police diver: Luke McCulloch Pt. 2

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/9f621f1d-d4ae-4054-bb21-b4a2006d2a17/transcript

Gary Jubelin talks with ex-cop Luke McCulloch about diving in pitch-black water, tough Pilbara policing, and the traffic stop that caught the West Perth Rapist.

What does it take to hunt a predator in the dark? In this episode of I Catch Killers, Gary Jubelin sits down with Luke McCulloch, a former police diver and officer whose career was defined by the motto: Profundus, Obscurus, Suridus - Deep, Dark, and Dirty.

Luke recounts the chilling moment a routine traffic stop for a motorbike with no headlights led to a major breakthrough in the hunt for the notorious West Perth Rapist. From his early days as the youngest sworn officer in Western Australia to the gruelling selection process of the police dive squad, Luke shares the reality of life on the thin blue line.

Dive into the psychological and physical challenges of policing in the "Wild West," the importance of de-escalation, and the split-second decisions that can lead to solving a high-pressure case.

In this episode, we discuss:

-The traffic stop that caught Steven Michael Adams (The West Perth rapist).

-Luke's experience patrolling the remote Pilbara and the unique challenges of country policing.

-The intense, hypothermia-inducing training required to become a police diver.

-What it’s really like searching for evidence and bodies in pitch-black water using nothing but touch.

Nicole Morris Exposes Missing Persons Investigation Failures

Nicole Morris exposes psychics, false hope and failures in missing persons investigations, calling for urgency, justice and reform.

Loved ones of missing people are desperate for answers, and unfortunately there are people more than happy to exploit their despair for their own gain.

In part two of her conversation with Gary Jubelin, missing persons advocate and author Nicole Morris calls out clairvoyants and psychics, exposing the very real trauma caused by false hope. The pair discuss why all missing persons should be treated as homicides until proven otherwise, how dangerous assumptions made early in an investigation can derail justice and leave families without answers for years, and call for better resourcing and a national approach to missing persons investigations.

Nicole is the author of Lost: More True Stories from Families of Australian Missing Persons.
