Pressure is mounting on top cop Col Blanch to fix WAPOL’s reputation over the handling of the case of Amy Wensley. In this episode, former police officer and true crime author Duncan McNab calls on the Police Commissioner to “lead”. Also we do get onto one of the key witnesses who was there when Amy was shot who has trouble answering some tricky questions which he’d previously never been asked.

We hear again from Joshua Bryden – a key witness who was at the property the day Amy died. Another family speaks out as they fight for an inquest for their daughter whose death was ruled a suicide after she allegedly ‘jumped’ from a speeding car while fighting with her partner. And why Australia’s femicide rate keeps climbing.

The full, uncut interview with the first coroner who presided over Amy's case. Evelyn Vicker says she always knew Amy didn't kill herself and talks candidly about the politics involved in being a Coroner in WA.

Dr Timothy Ackland was surprised when the Coroner delivered an open finding at the inquest. In this episode he explains why his evidence should be weighted higher than it seems to have been so far.

How the finding by the detective assigned to head the Coronial Review “killed” her career in WA Police. Detective Senior Constable Ann Lehane was told to treat Amy Wensley’s death as ‘non-suspicious’. And when she didn’t, she was verbally berated in front of fellow officers. Why did WA Police persist with the suicide theory in Amy’s case?

The new WA Police investigation, triggered by Season 1 of this podcast, is drawing to a close. However, despite proof Amy couldn’t kill herself, there’s fresh claims Amy’s case has become too political for those involved to hold anyone to account.
