The Tynong North and Frankston Murders

Season 1, Ep. 29
•

6th of December, 1980, around 2pm.


Graeme Brenchley and Tom Looby were enjoying a day of fox hunting near an old sand quarry. This area was in Tynong North, around Brew Road. The men had permission to hunt there.

For Graeme and Tom to be able to hunt any foxes, they first had to be lured out from safety, and into the area where they were. To do this, the men dumped lamb offal in the nearby scrubland.

They were walking along a secluded bush track near the quarry when Graeme changed course so he could follow a wallaby track.


Unfortunately for Graeme, what he spotted next was not a wallaby. It wasn’t even a fox. It was a grey stocking, with toe bones sticking out…


Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the series of disturbing unsolved Tynong North-Frankston murders.
