Description

New Year's Day, 1963. Two bodies are discovered on the banks of Sydney's Lane Cove River.

Dr. Gilbert Stanley Bogle, a brilliant physicist. Margaret Chandler, a young mother of two. Both dead. Both half-dressed. No detectable poison in their systems.

The FBI is consulted. Scotland Yard investigates. Over a thousand theories tested. The wronged husband. The jealous mistress. Soviet spies. LSD experiments.

All dead ends.

For forty years, Australia's most baffling mystery remains unsolved. Then a documentary filmmaker asks a question nobody thought to ask. What he discovers is an invisible killer hiding in plain sight. An answer that just might explain everything but can never be proven.

This is Strewth. Join us for Australia's most baffling New Years mystery.
