Former police officer turned investigator Graeme Crowley has spent nearly fifty years chasing justice.

What began as a career in policing eventually evolved into something unexpected, true-crime podcast investigations that challenge official narratives and reopen forgotten cases.

In this episode of The Missing Matter, Sally sits down with Graeme to explore how podcasting has become a powerful tool for uncovering new evidence, questioning flawed investigations, and giving families answers when the system has failed them.

From missing persons to suspicious suicides and wrongful convictions, Graeme explains how pulling apart a brief of evidence can reveal cracks in the story prosecutors once relied on.

He shares how one podcast investigation helped push police to re-examine a suspicious death  ultimately leading to a murder arrest that may never have happened otherwise.

Together, Sally and Graeme discuss:

• Why missing person cases often lose urgency within the system

• The hidden problems inside coronial investigations

• The emotional toll on families waiting decades for answers

• How podcasts are changing the landscape of criminal investigations

For Graeme, this work isn’t a job — it’s a lifelong pursuit.

Because sometimes the search for truth doesn’t begin with police.

And sometimes the answers come from the people who refuse to stop asking questions.
