About this episode
Bronwyn’s daughter Chrystal reverses her pledge to stay out of the case. Chrystal ventures opinions about her mother’s fate, defends her step-father Jon, and implores readers and listeners to keep an open mind about him.
Her decision to become involved hits Bronwyn’s brother Andy Read hard. He’s concerned Chrystal is being unfairly lobbied by her sister Lauren and murder suspect Jon in a desperate bid to deflect suspicion.
Chrystal discloses that she has recently been the victim of a costly scam. A self-proclaimed ‘trainee soul doctor’ who won Chrystal’s trust took bars of gold bullion she had newly purchased. The soul doctor switched the valuable metal for worthless cement, leaving the single mother more sure of the existence of a family curse.
Top Homicide Unit detectives seek key files from journalist Hedley Thomas as the police investigation widens.
