Show Notes

Ned Kelly was executed in 1880, yet he remains one of the most iconic and divisive figures in Australian history.

For more than a century, a question has haunted historians, scientists, and the public alike: What happened to his remains?

In this episode, we follow the high-stakes forensic investigation that set out to uncover the truth.

Professor David Ranson from the Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine, takes host Liz Porter inside the two-year effort to reconstruct history from fragments of bone, historical news clippings, and long-forgotten medical records, eventually untangling fact from folklore.
