The Murder Squad
True Crime Conversations - A podcast by Mamamia Podcasts - Wednesdays
In Australia in the 1920s a 'murder wave' gripped the country, as the desperation of The Great Depression rippled through society. Cases like The Human Glove, The Hammer Horror, The Park Demon, The Bungendore Bones, and most famously The Pyjama Girl, were splashed across tabloid headlines. At the same time a new age of methods and technologies were being rolled out to help investigate crimes that would've previously gone unsolved. In NSW there was an elite group of hardened and cunning detectives who were tasked with solving all these crimes. They became known as The Murder Squad.
