Show Notes

In the late 90s - NSW was rocked by the disappearance of Kerry Whelan. 

She was last seen on May 6th, after being dropped off at the Park Royal Hotel in Parramatta. When she didn’t return home, her husband Bernie quickly notified police. 

A search uncovered nothing, and police were stumped. It wasn’t until a day later did they have a lead. A ransom note had appeared.

Paul Grech, who was a junior detective, arrested the person responsible, and can recall the minute detail that helped solve the case.

Paul sits down with Brent Sanders to discuss the case and his career.
