In this episode of SLEEPERS, two separate accounts, decades apart, begin to flesh out the pattern.
The first comes from a man recalling an experience as a six-year-old boy living directly behind Stanley Arthur Hart's property in Yatina, Regional South Australia. He describes a room called a playroom, a space he was taken into and not allowed to leave.
The second account comes from an adult witness who visited the same property years later. What he encountered appeared unusual, even at that time: a sick woman in bed, a floor strewn with wasted medication, a conversation about a caravan, and an attached room, known as a shed, containing jars described as animal specimens.
Individually, these are fragments. Together, they raise questions.
This episode does not present conclusions.
It presents testimony, memory, and environment and examines how spaces can be normalised, explained away, and later understood differently.
As Sleepers continues its investigation into cold cases, historical abuse, and unresolved questions in South Australia,
Evil Play asks listeners to consider what was seen⦠and what was missed.
If you have information relevant to this series, you can reach out confidentially.
Listener discretion advised.
