Episode 15: Taking Flight
Show notes
For 31 years, key parts of Jon’s story have been taken for granted.
Even while he has been a longtime murder suspect, nobody challenged Jon’s claims that he made two long-distance telephone calls from the house at Sandstone Crescent on the night Bronwyn was last seen alive. The first call, he claimed, was made to his daughter Jodie. The second one to his brother Peter.
Hedley Thomas and Matt Condon delve deeply into Jon’s own words from his recorded interview with police in 1998, and they test the veracity of these claims by retracing his steps on the fateful night. They conclude that Bronwyn, not Jon, made those calls when she was fearful about his return.
Pro sleuthing by avid listener and experienced lawyer Karina Berger as she searches for an airline’s flights timetable from 1993 leads to a breakthrough. But Jon says Bronwyn has just started a new life with a mystery boyfriend.
