Australian True Crime
Xanthé Mallett: Samantha Murphy and the Train family
Dr. Xanthé Mallett recently joined us at the Sydney and Brisbane shows for ATC Live. If you were there, you'll know that there's never enough time to get to everyone's questions in the Q&A. So we decided to bring you some special episodes of Australian True Crime, hosted by Xanthé Mallett.
As a criminologist and forensic anthropologist, Xanthé is a rare breed. Those two disciplines just don't overlap very often in the real world.
Her perspectives on criminal cases are always fascinating. On this episode of Australian True Crime, Xanthé gives us an update on the Samantha Murphy case, as well as the Wieambilla Police Shootings.
