General Information
The information presented on True Crime Tasmania, including this website, podcast, social media channels and any associated content, is provided for general informational, educational and historical purposes only.
Our content is based on information that is publicly available at the time of publication, including court judgments, coronial findings, government records, historical archives, newspaper reports, publicly accessible documents, interviews, books and other reputable sources. Every reasonable effort is made to ensure that information is accurate; however, we cannot guarantee the completeness, accuracy or ongoing currency of all material.
The Podcast is provided purely for enterainment purposes.
No Allegations or Assumptions
True Crime Tasmania does not investigate criminal matters independently, determine guilt or innocence, speculate about criminal responsibility, or make assumptions beyond the information contained in publicly available records.
Unless expressly identified as opinion, all factual statements are intended to reflect information already available in the public domain. Where historical cases involve conflicting accounts or disputed facts, we endeavour to present those differing accounts fairly and accurately.
No inference should be drawn from the inclusion or omission of any information.
Respect for Victims and Families
We acknowledge that true crime involves real people whose lives have been profoundly affected by tragedy.
Our intention is to present historical and contemporary criminal cases respectfully, accurately and sensitively. We recognise the ongoing impact that crime may have on victims, survivors, families, witnesses, investigators and communities, and we strive to avoid unnecessary sensationalism.
Court Outcomes
Where a person has been charged with or convicted of a criminal offence, we report the outcome of legal proceedings based on publicly available court records and official sources.
Where criminal proceedings have not resulted in a conviction, where charges have been withdrawn, dismissed or overturned, or where an individual has been acquitted, we aim to clearly state those outcomes.
Nothing published by True Crime Tasmania should be interpreted as suggesting that any person is guilty of a criminal offence unless that finding has been made by a court of competent jurisdiction.
Historical Cases
Many cases featured on this website occurred decades ago. Historical newspaper reports and archived publications often reflect the language, reporting standards and societal attitudes of their time.
Where appropriate, we may quote or reference historical material for the purpose of accurately documenting events. Such material should not be interpreted as representing the views or opinions of True Crime Tasmania.
Opinions
From time to time, podcast hosts or guests may express opinions regarding policing practices, legal issues, investigative procedures or historical events.
Unless clearly stated otherwise, these opinions are personal commentary only and should not be regarded as statements of fact.
Copyright
Copyright in historical photographs, newspaper extracts, court documents and other third-party material remains with the respective copyright holders unless otherwise stated.
Where material is reproduced under applicable copyright exceptions, licence, or with permission, appropriate acknowledgement will be provided where practicable.
If you believe material published on this website infringes your copyright, please contact us so the matter can be reviewed promptly.
Corrections
We are committed to accuracy.
If you identify factual errors or omissions in any article or podcast episode, or believe that published information requires correction or clarification, please contact us with supporting evidence. Where appropriate, corrections or updates will be made as soon as reasonably practicable.

Editorial Policy
True Crime Tasmania is committed to responsible, ethical and evidence-based storytelling.
Our aim is to document Tasmania’s criminal history through careful research using reliable public sources. We do not fabricate events, speculate about guilt, or present rumours as fact. We seek to distinguish clearly between verified facts, historical reporting and opinion, while treating victims, families and all persons connected to the cases with dignity and respect.
