Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bogle-Chandler mystery is recognised as one of the most baffling cold cases in the annals of crime. The victims, brilliant physicist Dr Gilbert Bogle and Mrs Margaret Chandler, the wife of his colleague, were found dead on New Year's morning, 1963, beside the picturesque Lane Cove River. Investigators found no evidence to suggest how they had died and the bizarre manner in which the bodies were covered only added to the mystery. The police immediately suspected Margaret's husband Geoffrey Chandler as the killer. But despite drawing on the expertise of police and forensic agencies around the world, including the FBI, the coroner was unable to determine how the victims had met their fate.In his award-winning documentary Who Killed Dr Bogle & Mrs Chandler? investigative filmmaker Peter Butt presented stunning new evidence, which provided a solution to the mystery. Now comes Dr Bogle & Mrs Chandler ? the Confession in which Peter Butt delivers more intrigue, including the astonishing story of the person who covered the victims? bodies and how the prime suspect in the case, Geoffrey Chandler, was an undercover ASIO agent. The most sensational revelation - the explosive testimony of a retired psychologist concerning two previously unknown witnesses to the deaths. His testimony has thrust the case back onto the coroner's desk and could finally bring closure to the case.Professor Jo Duflou, the Head of Forensic Medicine, Sydney:'This really is quite amazing! It really is quite compelling isn't it? As I've pointed out before, every time you come up with something new, I try my hardest to disprove it'this time I'm having a real problem! When I told the coroner what you had sent me, she was captivated by this news. She also wondered out loud what she would do next'an inquest maybe? All I can say is that if what your new source says is true, then it pretty much means you've hit the nail on the head, and the mystery is finally solved, just over half a century after the event.'

Download or read book What I Loved written by Siri Hustvedt and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2004-03-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful and heartbreaking novel that chronicles the epic story of two families, two sons, and two marriages Siri Hustvedt's What I Loved begins in New York in 1975, when art historian Leo Hertzberg discovers an extraordinary painting by an unknown artist in a SoHo gallery. He buys the work; tracks down the artist, Bill Wechsler; and the two men embark on a life-long friendship. Leo's story, which spans twenty-five years, follows the evolution of the growing involvement between his family and Bill's-an intricate constellation of attachments that includes the two men; their wives, Erica and Violet; and their children, Matthew and Mark. The families live in the same building in New York, share a house in Vermont during the summer, keep up a lively exchange of thoughts and ideas, and find themselves permanently altered by one another. Over the years, they not only enjoy love but endure loss-in one case sudden, incapacitating loss; in another, a different kind, one that is hidden and slow-growing, and which insidiously erodes the fabric of their lives. Intimate in tone and seductive in its complexity, the novel moves seamlessly from inner worlds to outer worlds, from the deeply private to the public, from physical infirmity to cultural illness. Part family novel, part psychological thriller, What I Loved is a beautifully written exploration of love, loss, and betrayal-and of a man's attempt to make sense of the world and go on living.

Download or read book I Know Who Killed Betty Shanks written by Ted Duhs and published by Boolarong Press. This book was released on 2022-02-25 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Betty Shanks was brutally murdered 70 years ago. This book’s third edition reveals Betty’s secret life as documented in an ASIO file, which states that: - Betty was in an ‘intimate association’ with a young married man who was a member of the Communist Party of Australia. - Betty’s best friend from schooldays at Brisbane Girls Grammar School and at the University of Queensland, Winifred Cowin, worked for ASIO before committing suicide in 1958. - An ASIO officer arrived in Brisbane on Sunday 21 September 1952 to recruit Betty, only to be told that she had been murdered the previous Friday night. Ted Duhs alleges that Betty was killed by a man she met at the Grange tram terminus as she returned home from a night class at Brisbane’s Central Tech. This man, referred to as ‘the man in the brown suit’, was seen by four witnesses, including Marie Patton who is still alive. Minutes before Betty was attacked, Marie saw him 30 yards from the murder scene. Evidence suggests he was Eric Sterry. His daughter, Desche, is still alive, and in 1999 her story “My Dad Killed Betty Shanks” was published in The Courier Mail, after her earlier attempts to persuade the police were unsuccessful.

Book excerpt: This is the true crime account of the man known as Eugenia Falleni, who in 1920 was charged with the murder of his wife. Assigned female at birth, Eugenia Falleni lived in Australia for twenty-two years under the name Harry Crawford, and during that time officially married twice. He lived a full married life with his first wife, Annie, for four years before Annie realised that her husband was transgender. They continued to live together for eight months before they went on a bush picnic, when Annie mysteriously died. Her body was not identified for almost three years, and during this time Harry married again, this time to Lizzie. When Harry was finally arrested and charged with Annie's murder, the police attempted to tell Lizzie that her husband was biologically female.

The book traces Harry’s history: from being raised as a girl in an Italian immigrant family in New Zealand, to his brutal treatment when he first began living as a man, and his twenty-two years in Sydney including his two marriages.

Download or read book Crucial Errors in Murder Investigations written by Ted Duhs and published by Boolarong Press. This book was released on 2016-08-29 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is it that some people are convicted of murders that they did not commit, while others are not convicted of murders that they did commit? Australian Police Services are generally well funded, so something more must be involved. Just what that is, is investigated in this book. To minimise the prospect of future errors, we need both to scrutinise past cases where errors have been revealed, and to investigate police training procedures with a view to uncovering any errors of omission or commission, to see what scope there is for improvements. Each of us has good reason to take an interest in such matters, since any one of us could be a victim if we are in the wrong place at the wrong time. In fact all of us are victims to the extent that some guilty parties continue to walk free on our streets, and as taxpayers all of us fund the additional costs of dealing with crime, including the sizeable compensation payments that are made to those whose wrongful convictions are quashed. This book deals with instructive cases which continue to agitate the public mind, and makes practical suggestions for improved procedures.

Download or read book Women Love and Learning written by Alison Mackinnon and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of a generation of American and Australian women who embodied - and challenged - the prescriptions of their times. In the 1950s and early 60s they went to colleges and universities, trained for professions and developed a life of the mind. They were also urged to embrace their femininity, to marry young, to devote themselves to husbands, children and communities. Could they do both? While they might be seen as a privileged group, they led the way for a multitude in the years ahead. They were quietly making the revolution that was to come. Did they have 'the best of all possible worlds'? Or were they caught in a double bind? Sylvia Plath's letters tell of her delighted sense of life opening before her as a 'college girl'. Her poetry, however, tells of anguish, of reaching for distant goals. Drawing on interviews, surveys, reunion books, letters, biographical and autobiographical writing from both American and Australian women, this cultural history argues that the choices that faced educated women in that time led to the revolution of the late 1960s and 70s. Something had to give. There are lessons here for today's young women, facing again conflicting expectations. Is it possible, they ask, to 'have it all'?
