True Crime Tasmania explores crimes, mysteries and criminal cases connected with Tasmania, from historic cases that have become part of the island’s folklore to more recent events that have attracted significant public attention. Our aim is to tell these stories in an engaging and accessible way for people interested in Tasmania’s criminal history and the true crime genre. True Crime Tasmania is primarily an entertainment and storytelling website and podcast. We are not a law enforcement agency, investigative service, legal organisation or news organisation, and our content should not be regarded as legal advice, investigative findings or an authoritative determination of disputed facts.
The stories presented on True Crime Tasmania are researched using publicly available records and information. Depending on the case, these sources may include published court decisions, historical records, newspaper reports, government publications, publicly accessible archives, books, media reports and other information that has previously been made available to the public. We do not seek to obtain confidential records, private information or material that is not lawfully available to the public. Where different publicly available sources provide conflicting accounts, we endeavour to present the circumstances fairly and avoid presenting disputed claims as established facts.
True Crime Tasmania presents factual subject matter in a conversational storytelling format. Episodes and articles may summarise events, provide historical context and discuss different aspects of a case to make sometimes complex stories easier to follow. Because the material is presented for general information and entertainment purposes, episodes and articles should not be treated as complete transcripts of court proceedings, comprehensive historical records or substitutes for original source material. Dialogue, narration, commentary and descriptions may be edited or condensed for clarity, pacing and storytelling while we endeavour to preserve the substance of the publicly reported events.
We take reasonable care when researching and preparing our content. However, historical records, newspaper reports and other publicly available sources can contain errors, inconsistencies or incomplete information. True Crime Tasmania therefore does not guarantee that every publicly reported detail reproduced or discussed on the website or podcast is complete or error-free. Where a person has been convicted of an offence, we aim to describe the outcome accurately. Where allegations have not resulted in a conviction, they should be understood as allegations unless otherwise clearly stated. Nothing published by True Crime Tasmania is intended to imply guilt on the part of a person who has not been found guilty by a court of law.
Behind every true crime story are real people. Many of the cases discussed on True Crime Tasmania involve victims, families and communities who have experienced significant loss and trauma. While the site exists to document and discuss Tasmania’s true crime history, we aim to approach these stories with appropriate respect and avoid unnecessary sensationalism or speculation.
From time to time, podcast hosts or contributors may discuss their impressions, reactions or opinions about a case. Such comments are commentary only and should not be interpreted as statements of established fact unless supported by the underlying public record. We encourage listeners and readers who wish to investigate a case further to consult original court decisions, archival material and other primary sources where these are publicly available.
True Crime Tasmania welcomes corrections where information published on the website or podcast can be demonstrated to be inaccurate. If you believe we have made a factual error, please contact us and provide details of the information concerned together with, where possible, a reliable publicly available source supporting the correction.
True Crime Tasmania is an independent project dedicated to exploring the darker chapters of Tasmania’s history through researched, accessible and entertaining storytelling. Our stories are based on information already available in the public domain. Our purpose is not to investigate individuals or determine guilt, but to recount and discuss Tasmania’s true crime stories for an audience interested in the people, places and events behind them.
