Episode 16: A Family Divided
Bronwyn - A podcast by The Australian
A politician and a leading newspaper speculate that a serial killer could have murdered Bronwyn and 66 other women on the New South Wales north coast over the past three decades. Bronwyn’s daughter Chrystal – who still supports Jon Winfield – welcomes news of a possible serial killer instead of her step-father being responsible for Bronwyn’s presumed slaying. In stark contrast, other members of the Read family point the finger at Jon. The powerful emotions and different views fuel family tensions and lead to Chrystal icing cousin Madi Walsh. Bronwyn’s youngest daughter, Lauren, who also backs her Dad, hits out at podcast listeners, calling some "gutless keyboard bullies who think they're detective heroes". Analysis of Detective Sergeant Glenn Taylor’s 1998 interview with Jon raises more mystery because of Jon’s omission of key information about what he did for a few hours in the Shire, the day after Bronwyn disappeared on the night of May 16, 1993.
