In this episode, Adam Shand uncovers the chilling legacy of one of Queensland’s most feared and controversial police officers: Superintendent Mervin Henry Stevenson.
Adam speaks with Elliot Hannay, former editor of the Townsville Bulletin, who had multiple disturbing encounters with Stevenson during Queensland’s pre-Fitzgerald era—an age defined by corruption, cover-ups and intimidation at the highest levels. Hannay reveals threats, mysterious suicides, allegations of cattle duffing, drug operations, arms smuggling and the suspicious deaths and disappearances that many locals still whisper about today.
