Guilty: How The Teacher’s Pet Podcast Caught A Killer

On Tuesday afternoon, a judge found Sydney man Chris Dawson guilty of murdering his wife Lyn back in the 1980's. The disappearance of Lyn was the subject of Australian podcast The Teacher's Pet. With over 28 million downloads worldwide, the podcast, and the case it was about gained international interest.  In today's episode of The Quicky, we tell a story of how a podcast influenced the criminal justice system and how one man was able to get away with murder for 40 years...until now.  Subscribe to Mamamia GET IN TOUCH Feedback?
