Andrew Rule

When we have people who just go missing without trace, it leaves a black hole that is inevitably filled with speculation and spite and suspicion and often errant nonsense.

I'm Andrew Rule, and this is Life and Crimes.

Death comes to us all, and recently, this month, a man died at Phillip Island, whose death invites us to look into the tumultuous events of his life.

Now, this unfortunate fella was called Fergus Cameron, and Fergus Cameron is a fortunate man who led an unfortunate life.

Like shaving cartridges.

Yeah, Mum and Dad had to do that in their bookshop and the underbelly books that Andrew Rule and Sylvester

Wright.

So there you go.

... get better in our lives.

I'm Andrew Rule, this is Life Of Crimes.

We are about to start the second part of our deep dive look at the death of Kay King on a dairy farm near Shepparton 30-odd years ago.

But first, a message from our lawyers.

And it might only be a metre deep.

I'm Andrew Rule, this is Life and Crimes.

Before we start the show in earnest, this is a note that we should point out.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

... not threatening figure, she would be in great danger in prison.

I'm Andrew Rule, this is Life and Crimes.

Today we are going to talk to Neil Mercer, Sydney crime journalist, who has just produced another book.

He's done books before, he's very good at it, and his new book is, uh, this one, it's called Falsely Convicted, and it, uh, comprises nine examples of people who have been convicted of very serious crimes wrongly.

He's a good writer, um, and a very good analyst, and I trust him to get the story right.

I'm now gonna put on my headphones and talk to Neil because he's coming down the line from Sydney.

Neil Mercer, it's Andrew Rule in Melbourne, and you are in Sydney.

How are you?
