The Veil

E31 | Special Series | Murder in the Pacific: Part Two - Norfolk Island's Darkest Day

On Easter Sunday 2002, Janelle Patton — a 29-year-old Sydney woman seeking a fresh start — was found brutally murdered on Norfolk Island, a tiny, idyllic community of fewer than 2,000 people. With 64 injuries and no clear motive, the case sent shockwaves through a place that hadn't seen a murder in over a century. Investigators faced a closed, tight-knit community reluctant to talk, and a tangle of unidentified DNA that raised more questions than answers. A conviction eventually came — but did justice? In this episode of The Veil, we pull back the curtain on Norfolk Island's darkest day. While some dramatic license is taken during the retelling of these stories, but you can be sure that these true crime stories are all based 100% on real events and facts.

E30 | Special Series | Murder in the Pacific : Part One - Mystery in Paradise

In June 2016, a Russian couple — Yuri Shipulin and Nataliya Gerasimova — drove away from their farm in the Fijian highlands and never came back. Two days later their Landcruiser was found at Natadola Beach. A week after that, the first remains began washing up on the sand. This is the first of a three-part Murder in the Pacific series for The Veil — three cases set in the places we usually think of only as holiday destinations. Tonight, Fiji: paradise, a married couple in their forties, the slow horror of pieces returning across a winter, and a case that, ten years on, remains wide open.

E29 | The Outback Killer - The Murder of Peter Falconio

On a winter night in 2001, an orange Kombi pulled over on the Stuart Highway. By morning, Peter Falconio was missing, his girlfriend Joanne Lees was hiding in the scrub, and Australia had its most enduring outback mystery. This episode traces what happened that night, the manhunt that followed, the DNA evidence that convicted Bradley Murdoch, and the death — in July 2025 — that took the location of Peter's body to the grave. It's also about the way the press treated Joanne Lees, twenty years after they did the same thing to Lindy Chamberlain in the same country.

E28 | A Dingo Took My Baby - The Lindy Chamberlain Story

On a Sunday night in August 1980, a baby disappeared from a tent at the base of Uluru. Her mother said a dingo took her. The country called it a lie. Lindy Chamberlain spent three and a half years in a Darwin prison for a murder that never happened — convicted on forensic evidence that turned out to be sound deadener from a Holden Torana, by a public that decided early she didn't grieve correctly. A backpacker's fatal misstep eventually unearthed the truth. This episode asks the harder question: how many others are still inside, waiting for their own matinee jacket?

E27 | "They're All Dead" - The Bain Family Murders

On the morning of 20 June 1994, in a weatherboard house in Andersons Bay, Dunedin, five members of the Bain family were shot dead. One survived: 22-year-old David Bain, who had come home from his paper round and called 111. Convicted in 1995. Acquitted at retrial in 2009 after the Privy Council quashed the original verdict. Two stories, told for thirty years, about one morning. The rifle prints, the lens, the gloves, the bladder, the cobweb — every piece of it argued both ways. A country still working out what it thinks.
