Show Notes

Just before midnight on the 6th of December 1994, Elisabeth Membrey arrived home from her shift at the Manhattan Hotel in Melbourne. Police estimated that by 3AM, she was dead, concluding she’d been murdered in her hallway. 

16 years later, in 2010, after a tireless investigation, former Detective Tim Peck was able to finally make an arrest. But, as the case went to court - it soon turned from a successful investigation to Tim tragically spiralling into a dark and near fatal place.

Tim sat down with host Brent Sanders to talk about this case, and the dark consequences of policing. 

For more of Tim's story, his book The Invisible Obvious is out now.
