There's a serial killer on the loose in Byron Bay... allegedly.

People are starting to connect the dots between multiple cases of women going missing or being murdered in the Byron and New South Wales coastal areas, including women with their own first-hand encounters.

So how likely is it all these cases and run ins are linked? And what's the underlying lesson we can all take away from these experiences?

Extra: Is There Really A Serial Killer In Byron Bay?

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/8ab7a092-e250-481a-ad84-b225002c9472/transcript

In 2001, Marcellus Williams was sentenced to death for the 1998 murder of reporter Felecia Gayle. After over two decades on Missouri’s death row, he was executed by lethal injection on September 24, 2024.

As time passed, doubts about his guilt grew. Marcellus’s defence team, the victim’s family, and even some jurors questioned his conviction. Despite this, the governor denied clemency, and the Supreme Court did not intervene.

One of the few people to interview Marcellus during his time on death row was Jack Laurence, a producer and podcast host, who believes the case against him was flawed. Laurence, like many others, feels the decision to execute Marcellus was a tragic mistake.

You can listen to Jack's interview with Marcellus Williams on his podcast One Minute Remaininghere.

Did America Just Execute An Innocent Man?

James Foley’s death was unimaginable. He was a journalist held hostage by ISIS for two years in Syria and killed in 2014 as a threat to America. Footage of him wearing an orange jumpsuit, and forcibly reading a message before being beheaded was posted to Twitter. The media coverage of the event had the second most recognition in recent American history after 9/11. That was 10 years ago now. 

His mother Diane Foley’s determination to understand her son’s fate led her to meeting with one of the men responsible.

This episode is about the profound impact of James’ life, he saw light in everything and everyone. His mother has been through the complexities of grace and empathy in the face of an unthinkable loss.

American Mother by Colum McCan with Diane Foley is available here.

In 1984, the body of six-year-old Kylie Maybury was found in a gutter in the early hours of the morning following Melbourne Cup Day.

So why did it take 32 years after her death for police to finally find her killer — a man with previous convictions for sexual assault and violence, who lived just around the corner?

Former Herald Sun journalist and true crime author Keith Moor has covered the case since the day Kylie's body was found. He has interviewed her grieving mother many times and considered her a friend. For the 40th anniversary of Kylie's death, Keith details this case.

You can read more about Keith and his work here.
