Disappearance Of Trudie Adams
Trudie Jeanette Adams disappeared in the early hours of 25 June 1978 after attending a dance at the Newport Surf Life Saving Club, New South Wales, Australia. She left the event early before hitchhiking home, at which point she entered a vehicle on Barrenjoey Road and has not been seen since. Her disappearance is significant in that it sparked New South Wales' biggest missing person search at the time, sparked extensive and ongoing national media attention, and eventually a A$250,000 reward. Disappearance and investigation Trudie Adams' parents and ex-boyfriend, Steven Norris, reported her missing on 25 June 1978 after she failed to arrive home from the dance. Although police initially believed that the car she entered was a green Kombi van, Norris, as the main eyewitness, stated that he saw her enter a light-coloured 1977 Holden panel van.

Rape
Rape is a type of sexual assault usually involving sexual intercourse or other forms of sexual penetration carried out against a person without their consent. The act may be carried out by physical force, coercion, abuse of authority, or against a person who is incapable of giving valid consent, such as one who is unconscious, incapacitated, has an intellectual disability, or is below the legal age of consent. The term ''rape'' is sometimes used interchangeably with the term ''sexual assault.'' The rate of reporting, prosecuting and convicting for rape varies between jurisdictions. Internationally, the incidence of rapes recorded by the police during 2008 ranged, per 100,000 people, from 0.2 in Azerbaijan to 92.9 in Botswana with 6.3 in Lithuania as the median.

This is a list of Australian crime podcasts from 2015 (the earliest podcast) to the present. Background Podcasting, and in particular true-crime related podcasts which deal primarily with serial murders, kidnappings, disappearances, and unsolved crimes, became popular as a media format in Australia starting in 2016. While some podcasts are privately produced, many are created by investigative journalists within media outlets such as ''The Daily Telegraph,'' ''The Australian'', ABC, or SBS. Most detail individual cases across a short series of episodes (e.g. ''Cop Tales'' at 1 episode) while others (e.g. ''Australian True Crime'') issue individual, or sometimes serial, episodes on different cases weekly. Most podcasts act to provide background detail on already well known cases (e.g. ''A Perfect Storm'' and the Chamberlain case) while also updating cases for recent developments, investigations, or trials (e.g. ''Claremont: The Trial''). Others, particularly with cold cases, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
