• The Snowtown Murders: Australia’s Most Chilling Serial Killers

  In May 1999, police made a horrific discovery inside an old, disused bank vault in Snowtown, South Australia, six plastic barrels filled with human remains. It was the beginning of one of Australia’s most disturbing and infamous serial murder cases. But the story of the Snowtown murders, also known as the “bodies in the barrels” case, didn’t start there. It began years earlier, with a man named John Bunting, a self-appointed vigilante who, alongside a network of accomplices, orchestrated a chilling campaign of torture, murder, and manipulation.Over the course of seven years, at least 12 people were killed, many of them known to the perpetrators, some even considered friends or family. The victims were often targeted under the guise of “cleansing” society, but beneath that rhetoric lay a web of greed, control, and cruelty.In this Crime at Bedtime episode, we explore the true story behind the Snowtown killings, from the twisted psychology of the killers to the investigation that finally brought them to justice.The One Minute Remaining LIVE show in Melbourne tix on sale NOWBecome a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.
