We're 11 weeks into 2024 and 18 Australian women have been murdered so far this year.
Today we are releasing a re-issue of episode #18, a case I know many of us have been remembering as the search for Samantha Murphy goes on.
It was 12 years ago that we first heard the name Allison Baden-Clay.
Like Samantha Murphy, we were told that Allison, a successful, vibrant pillar of the community, had disappeared into thin air after going for a walk. Her husband and family had also made tearful plays in front of the media as photos of her attractive, smiling face were circulated.
Journalist David Murray covered the case and wrote the excellent book, The Murder of Allison Baden-Clay, and he joined us to talk about it.

Her husband, Gerard Baden-Clay, answers. He’d called triple zero at 7:15am that morning to tell them he hadn’t seen his wife, Allison, since the night before.
'Allison often went for a walk in the morning around 5am,' he told the operator. He assumed that was where she was when he woke up to an empty bed. But it was unusual that she wasn’t home yet. 'She was supposed to leave for a seminar in the city around 7am'
As he relays his story again to the responding officers, they’re quick to notice the scratches on the real estate agent’s face. 'A shaving injury,' he tells them. Peering into his home they’re taken aback by how clean it is. Like someone has made an effort to tidy up ahead of their arrival.
Over the next ten days Gerard’s story will be unravelled, exposing a double life with deadly consequences. While officers and local volunteers comb backyards, rivers and streets police will piece together a damning case of what really happened to Allison Baden-Clay.

This wasn’t completely out of the ordinary, as Allison sometimes went for early morning walks around their Brisbane neighbourhood. She was always home in time to get the couple’s three daughters ready for school, but when 7:15 rolled around, there was still no sign of her.
