With her warm smile, dumpy frame and thick black rimmed glasses she was the textbook definition of a caring mother, grandmother and in law.

But she wasn't.

Behind that deceiving exterior, Caroline was hiding a secret, one that she was hoping would wipe out her in laws....one cup of tea at a time.

Join Belinda over a cuppa or two as she goes back to Sydney, Australia, and to the late 1940's/early 1950's, where, thanks to an almost undetectable poison being readily available, one woman was comforting her ailing relatives..... as she was slowly killing them.

Only they didn't get off the 12:00 o'clock bus, nor did they get off the next one at 2:00 o'clock, and soon Nancy and the children's father Jim, were living every parents worst nightmare and reporting their three precious children missing. Soon enough the whole of Australia knew about these missing children and then the world, and despite all the attention their disappearance garnered and eye witnesses who saw the children at the beach that day, it appeared they simply vanished without a trace.

John, a Cabramatta local since he was a child, was a formidable figure in local and state politics and was very vocal about the rise in drug use and gang related crime the area. And for John, the cause of this problem sat squarely at the feet of Vietnamese migrants who moved to the area and in particular one called Phuong Ngo, a migrant who had migrated to Australia after the Vietnam war and was one of John's biggest political opponents.

A dream of making a life for herself, raising a family and living the fairytale. What she got instead was an unimaginable nightmare, full of abuse, control and isolation - all at the hands at the man who supposedly loved her - Simon Gittany. 

Simon controlled everything in Lisa's life - what she wore, who she spoke to, where she worked out - but what he couldn't control was her fighting spirit, and when Lisa finally tried to leave, her nightmare ended in sheer terror.

Join Belinda over a cuppa or three as she takes a deep dive into the heartbreaking case of a beautiful woman who dreamed of a happy life with a caring partner, a dream that would sadly result in a tragic ending.

Nearly a year to the day, 14 year old Arthur died the same way and when his brother George started displaying the exact same symptoms of the illness that took his siblings lives, his stepmother Martha insisted on giving him her 'special medicine' to help him.

Terrified he'd end up like his brother and sisters, George fled and notified authorities of his suspicions and what they discovered was nothing short of evil.

Only a few weeks later, 84 year old Lady Ashton is found dead in the garbage bin area of her apartment building, having supposedly suffered the same fate as Gwendolin. Then another elderly lady is found dead, and another.....and it is very clear that police aren't dealing with muggings gone wrong. They are dealing with a serial killer and one who is targeting our most vulnerable - elderly women in the community.

It seems the popular real estate agent and adored mum hadn't returned from her morning walk. She just up and vanished it would seem.

Deciding to call it a night, Sarah bids her friends farewell and leaves them to catch a taxi home. She is never seen alive again. 

A few months later, 23 year old Jane Rimmer is out in Claremont with friends, when she decides to stay behind when they leave. Her naked body is found dumped in bushland months later. Not long after this, 27 year old Ciara Glennon is also enjoying a night out with friends when she too disappears when she decides to make her own way home.

Her friend lived on a neighbouring farm and Ivy had made the short walk home many times beforehand, so her father was worried that she had not returned home. Two sets of footprints led James to the local school and there, hidden in the scrub and winter cold, lay the body of his precious daughter who had been brutally murdered.

Ivy's killer is quickly identified, charged and convicted and he is soon hanging from a noose in Boggo Road Jail. Unbeknownst to him at the time, he would be the last man to be hanged in the state, and unbeknownst to locals and cellmates, he would be the oldest ghost said to haunt the jail, which still stands today.

Whether that is while we are on vacation, or just relaxing after a hard day, or week, at work, the bar/pub is a place where we can relax, take a breath and catch up with friends. But what happens when a man, who is doing the exact same thing, gets kicked out of the bar you are at for disorderly conduct, and rather than going home and sleeping it off he drives his Mack Truck through the bar?

Sounds like a far fetched urban legend, right? Only, sadly, it is not. This really happened.

Join Belinda on the *new and improved* Crime Scenes with Coffee Beans as she uncovers the unnerving tale of Douglas Crabbe, aka The Mack Truck Murderer, the man, who in 1983, drove his 25 tonne Semi Trailer through a bar in Uluru (aka Ayers Rock), Northern Territory, Australia, killing 5 innocent people and injuring many, many more. All because he was asked to leave for being drunk and disorderly. This shocking crime will stay with you long after you've finished this episode.

What followed after this grim discovery was only the beginning for the serial killer the media quickly dubbed 'The Mutilator' and left 3 more men dead, genitals removed on all but one, and police at a loss as to who the killer was, until the killer was identified....but not in a conventional or normal way. He was identified after he was buried, but had the misfortune to bump into a shocked ex collegue after his funeral. The headline 'The Case of the Walking Corpse' soon followed and brought this sadistic killer's undoing.

Join Belinda as she takes a murky dive into 'The Mutilator' the case that is as disturbing as it is fascinating.

Coffee not essential, but it certainly helps!

When she didn't come home, her worried relatives search for her, but to no avail and report her missing to the police. When her severely bashed and beaten body is discovered the next day, police or locals have no idea the hell the next few weeks would unleash on them and the women in the area. A psychotic woman hater was finally acting out his life long fantasies of stalking and killing women, and no one was safe. Not even a new mother or teenage school girl.

Join Belinda as she takes a deep dive into the disturbing case of The Frankston Serial killer, the man who terrorised women in the Frankston, VIC, area for a few horrific weeks and even when he was arrested and jailed for his vicious crimes, his new found home in prison didn't stop him from terrorising his or his victims families even more.

As a result, Melbourne is in 'brownout' a term used to describe the low lighting the city used to avoid enemy detection (think minimal streetlights, shops lights etc).A killer takes advantage of this low lighting and three women are found strangled, all within days of each other. As a new fear grips the area, particularly the women living in it, the last victim's death will be the one that brings a new, unheard of hatred to light and a killer to justice. Join Belinda over a cup of joe, or a cheeky cocktail, as we travel back to wartime 1942 to discuss the Brownout Strangler.

He even joined the large scale search party looking for Ebony after he kidnapped and raped her and then callously threw her to her death in a dam.

It also made Katherine the first woman in Australian history to have 'definitely never to be released' marked on her file. 

Join Belinda as she takes a dive into this shocking crime and the woman, with a history of brutality and violence, would rather kill her ex partner then let him leave.

Which is exactly what German tourist Joseph Schwab did when he arrived in Queensland, Australia in 1987. Except instead of stopping to buy a forgotten item like toothpaste, he stocked up on guns and ammunition. What happened next left five innocent campers dead and police shooting for their lives.

 

Join Belinda as she dives into the story of Joseph Schwab, aka The Kimberely Killer, and the horrific crimes he committed in the space of a week in the Top End of Australia. Was he an unhinged killer, who hunted humans for fun, or someone who had simply gone 'troppo'?
