What makes a murderer? Ask Emily Webb. The true crime writer has been fascinated with murder since she was a kid, and now, she spends her days inside libraries, researching the stories of missing persons and strange deaths. From the woman who chopped her husband's head off and cooked it in a pot, to a nurse whose shift was dubbed "the death shift", she's written for years about the chilling dark heart of Australia. We delve deep into the stories that shocked a nation, the still unsolved murders in quiet Aussie suburbs, and how true crime can sometimes be stranger than fiction.
