Introducing | Tammy's Story
Show notes
Tammy Shipley asked to be arrested so she could feel safe. After she was placed under 24-hour surveillance, something terrible took place.
A new three-part series by Kirstie Wellauer and Joanna McCarthy investigates how it unfolded.
A loving mother of five, Tammy could really make her kids laugh.
But she'd started to believe she was in danger — that someone was out to get her.
A couple of weeks before Christmas, she walked into a Sydney police station looking for protection. She asked to be arrested and just wanted to feel safe.
She was put under 24-hour surveillance.
Then, over the course of several hours, something terrible took place. Something no one noticed.
Tammy's Story is a three-part investigation into how this could have happened.
