Shanelle Dawson, Lynette's daughter, had already pieced together the truth before investigative journalist Hedley Thomas came knocking. But his podcast helped put her father behind bars.
Since then, Shanelle has released her own story, in her own words via a memoir called My Mother’s Eyes. On this episode of True Crime Conversations, she joins Mamamia's Mia Freedman to give incredible insight into what it’s like to grow up with a father who did an unthinkable crime, and spent years lying to her about it.
