I Catch Killers with Gary Jubelin

Graeme Simpfendorfer spent 27 years in the Victoria Police, leading elite squads in Homicide and Sexual Offences. He was a veteran detective catching predators until a training lecture on grooming behaviours unlocked a trauma he had suppressed for decades. Graeme realised that as a teenager, he had been the victim of the very crimes he spent his professional life investigating. In this episode, Gary and Graeme discuss the "war of attrition" that followed when a top detective had to report his own abuser. Graeme reveals the clinical reality of recording a sting call and the struggle of wearing a "Batman mask" to survive his trauma. If you or someone you know needs help, there is support available.

In the time since this recording, Graeme's specific case went to court and resulted in an acquittal. However, the same individual also faced trials over a number of other historical sexual offences against children. The defendant pleaded not guilty to all charges and has maintained his innocence throughout. While he was found guilty of sexual offences relating to four victims, the defendant continues to maintain his innocence and has filed a motion to appeal those convictions.

In 1974, a 17-year-old girl in Sydney answered the door to a man claiming to be an encyclopaedia salesman who carried nothing with him and left her with a chilling "full body rush" of fear. Decades later, that woman's daughter - award-winning author Candice Fox - realised this family story aligned with the timeline of two unsolved homicides from the same neighbourhood. Candice details how this personal connection led her to report the encounter to police and attempt her own investigation into the deaths of Lynette White and Maria Smith and how these tragedies formed the inspiration for her new novel.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Author Candice Fox doesn't just write crime; she lives it through research for her books, including a chilling five-hour, "full-contact" visit in a San Quentin jail with one of America’s worst serial killers, the notorious "Toolbox Killer.” In this episode of I Catch Killers, Candice gives host Gary Jubelin a peek into a childhood she calls a madhouse…growing up with more than 150 foster siblings and a father who worked as a parole officer, giving her a glimpse into humanity’s darkest corners before she even hit double digits.

On a stormy day, Cameron Hardiman’s Air Wing team got a call: there was a man in the middle of Bass Strait clinging to a broken yacht. What should have been a routine rescue turned brutal.  In Part 2, Cameron explains how that terrifying rescue pushed him into the AFP, where he broke up raids in the Solomon Islands, and played delivery driver for a $200 million cocaine bust. Cameron was eventually diagnosed with PTSD, and he talks to Gary Jubelin about the end of his police career. LIFELINE 13 11 14See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After 14 years in maximum security, Anthony Jones is a changed man, but the path was written in blood. He survived a horrific prison ambush where he was doused in boiling liquid and stabbed ten times, yet he chose to forgive his attackers rather than retaliate. Gary explores Anthony’s radical transformation from a "broken boy" into a qualified pastor and his mission to lead the "No Chance Movement" for at-risk youth .See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At a 2010 house party, Anthony Jones was involved in a drunken brawl, which led to a tragedy that impacted countless lives. Anthony stabbed his friend, Edan Brown, who died from the injuries.  Charged with murder, Anthony broke the criminal code and pled guilty as the first step to taking responsibility for his actions - a move that saw his own mother disown him in open court. With the Brown family’s blessing, Gary Jubelin sits down with Anthony to uncover the "pure evil" of his childhood and the rage that led him into a spiral that culminated in this senseless loss of life.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For a world champion, life in the spotlight is a bizarre mix of extreme wealth and unexpected betrayals. As Jeff Fenech rose to international superstardom, he found himself inside the inner circles of men like Mike Tyson and Kerry Packer. From training a heavy-hitting legend to experiencing the extravagant generosity of a billionaire, Jeff saw a side of the world few ever encounter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For Jeff Fenech, the Newtown Police Boys Club wasn't a place to find a career - it was a place to find a fight. By age 13, Jeff was a "troublesome teenager" already hardened by street gangs and stints in youth detention centres. Everything changed when he met legendary trainer Johnny Lewis, a man who would become his father figure and steer him toward the discipline of the ring. The rise of the "Marrickville Mauler" was nothing short of a boxing miracle. From the 1984 Olympics to winning a world title in only his seventh professional fight, this is the story of how a kid from the streets became an Aussie icon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
