Episode 5: The 1998 Wollongong Murders

Sinister

About this episode

Hello and welcome to Sinister the true crime podcast where we discuss the nitty gritty details of the worlds most notorious crimes and general mysteries. 


In today's episode we're discussing the sickening 1998 Wollongong Murders.


*Trigger warning now for mention of CSA and pedophile networks, no detail of the abuse though*


This case takes place in Wollongong, Australia, hence the name, and discusses the crime spree that took place between 1998 - 2000, ongoing after the initial murderer was locked up after confessing.

This case involves a previous mayor of Wollongong, Frank Arkell, with connections to pedophile networks, satanic cults and some odd twists and turns.


Spoiler: This involves the crimes of Mark Valera, Belinda Van Krevel and Keith Schreiber.

What happened to Mark throughout his childhood to make him like this? And who are the family blaming for his vicious crimes?


I hope you enjoy this episode.
