Sleepers begins a new investigative line into The Family and the wider stories, allegations, witnesses, and unanswered questions surrounding Adelaide in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Max Marten introduces investigative journalist Bryan Littlely, conducting an interview with someone who grew up vulnerable in Adelaide, with fear, secrecy, survival, and terrifying encounters that left them believing they had escaped something far larger than one predator.
Some claims made in this interview cannot be independently verified. They are presented as one person’s recollection and lived experience.
Thank you to everyone who attended Sleepers Live at the Arkaba Hotel. Your support, your questions, and your willingness to listen help keep this investigation moving.
This new direction into The Family doesn’t mean Sleepers will stop pursuing information connected to earlier episodes.
If new witnesses come forward or new evidence appears, we’ll follow it.
Part Two, coming next, continues the interview, moving deeper into Adelaide’s hidden social world, parks after dark, private houses, powerful men, and allegations that still cast a shadow over South Australia.
