• CLAREMONT: The Huntingdale Attack
    Aug 17 2026

    On Valentine’s Day in 1988 in Huntingdale, a teenager went to bed alone after spending the day with her boyfriend.

    She was woken up by someone lying on top of her. Thinking it was her boyfriend, she said she didn’t feel scared. That was until she touched that person’s face. The person lying on top of her wasn’t her boyfriend, but was an intruder.

    That intruder was Bradley Robert Edwards, who pleaded guilty to the attack 30 years later.

    Day 10 of the Claremont serial killings trial heard from this victim, as she told of her ordeal, and of the kimono that was left behind after the attack.

    That kimono would become crucial in the police investigation, and the prosecution’s case against Bradley Edwards.

    The day also heard from the family of the second woman to disappear, Jane Rimmer, and the ordinary day that would turn out to be her last.

  • CLAREMONT: Missing Sarah
    Aug 12 2026

    The voice of Sarah Spiers haunted the court as her final phone call, a call to a taxi service was played during evidence on day nine.

    Sarah Spiers was last seen in the early hours of January 27, 1996. She was out with friends at Club Bayview, and just after 2am decided to go leave. Alone. She called a taxi to take her to Mosman Park, but she never got there.

    Today, we heard from one of those friends she was out with that night, recalling the final words she ever said to her friend.

    The prosecution say, instead of getting home in a taxi, Bradley Edwards picked her up and murdered her.

    The court heard from three people who heard screams in Mosman Park at around 3am that night, describing the 'blood curdling screams' that have stayed with them for more than two decades.

    It was a highly emotional day, with a statement read out from Sarah's sister Amanda, a court room in tears and a witness consoled as she left the stand after giving her evidence.

    Justice Hall said he has decided not to release Sarah's last phone call to the public, because he believed it would cause undue stress to her family. The West's Legal Affairs Editor Tim Clarke was in court and describes the the moment her voice was played for the second time in this trial.

  • CLAREMONT: The 'Sliding Doors' Moments
    Aug 10 2026

    A taxi driver who accepted a job at 2am, a man who saw a lone woman on the side of the road, and the missing minutes of the last time Sarah Spiers was ever seen.

    Three minutes was all it took for the 18-year-old to disappear. She called for a taxi at 2.03am on January 27, by the time the taxi arrived at 2.06am, she was gone.

    Day eight of WA's trial of the century tried to shed some light on that time, with the taxi driver who was supposed to pick her up taking the stand, as well as a man who could have been the last person to have ever seen Sarah Spiers in a 15-second glance.

    The day also heard from more women who say they had encounters with a man in a white Telstra van in the mid-1990s in the Cottesloe and Claremont areas, known as "The Telstra Living Witnesses", and as podcast guest, criminal defence lawyer Damien Cripps explains, why it could be a misunderstanding.

    Join Damien, along with Natalie Bonjolo and Tim Clarke as they dissect the day's events.

  • CLAREMONT: Ten Seconds of Terror
    Aug 5 2026

    It was massive day in court, with eight witnesses taking the stand, including the woman who was attacked from behind by the accused Claremont serial killer, Bradley Robert Edwards in 1990. She spoke about her ordeal publicly for the first time.

    He pleaded guilty and was convicted on common assault.

    As Natalie Bonjolo, Tim Clarke and Alison Fan discuss, her testimony was animated and detailed, and she recounted the terrifying ordeal, now known as "The Hollywood Hospital incident" like it was yesterday, the day she said she thought she was going to die.

    For the first time, it was revealed that Western Australian Police were looking into Telstra vehicles as early as July 1996, just a month after Jane Rimmer went missing and before Ciara Glennon was murdered.

    The court also heard from three other women, known as 'The Telstra Living Witnesses' who the prosecution say had close encounters with a man in a white van, driving around Cottesloe and Claremont picking up vulnerable women.

  • CLAREMONT: A Man in Uniform
    Aug 3 2026

    As a new week of evidence starts in the Claremont serial killings trial, the court takes on a different format for the day.

    While the court waited to hear from the man who impregnated Bradley Edwards' first wife, two former Telstra employees gave evidence, and they were asked - very specifically - about uniforms.

    The West's legal affairs editor Tim Clarke explains why the specific colour of the Telstra uniforms, when they were issued and the process of ordering them is so important to this trial.

  • CLAREMONT: The Missing Hours
    Jul 29 2026

    In what’s already been a week of bombshells, day five, despite being a shorter day, was no exception.

    Former friends of Bradley Edwards, a couple named Murray and Brigita Maria Cook took the stand.

    Mr Cook told of his annoyance when Edwards never showed up to a pre-planned holiday in Dawesville, an hour south of Perth, on March 14 1997 - the night Ciara Glennon disappeared.

    He said Edwards told him he was trying to reconcile with his wife, who told the court on an earlier day that he never tried to reconcile with her.

    In an eerie admission, Mrs Cook said they had no TV and no radio, so they didn’t know Ciara Glennon was missing.

    Join Natalie Bonjolo, Alison Fan and Tim Clarke (in the studio) as they discuss the days’ events, as Tim described them, a reverse-alibi.

  • CLAREMONT: Ex Wives and Sex Lives
    Jul 27 2026

    Day four of the Claremont serial killings trial saw a parade of Bradley Edwards’ former lovers take the stand, with intimate details told to the court.

    Two of Edwards’ former lovers told of their brief relationships with him, one saying she was ‘fond’ of Edwards.

    Day four was also the first day Bradley Edwards appeared to show emotion, seeming to smile as home videos during his time with his second wife were played to the court.

    But when his second wife took the stand, she revealed the meticulously detailed journals she kept of his bank statements.

    Journals she kept because she said she ‘feared for her life’.

    Natalie Bonjolo, Tim Clarke and Emily Moulton discuss day four.
