Snowtown: The Bodies in the Barrels Murders *Re-Issue*

We are re-issuing this episode from 2019 given that James Vlassakis has been granted parole. The shocking discovery of eight dismembered bodies in six barrels in the South Australian town of Snowtown made headlines around the world. In total there were 12 victims of a killing team of three men from the North Adelaide suburbs, led by the depraved John Bunting.  Journalist Jeremy Pudney, who wrote the definitive book on these murders *Snowtown: The Bodies in Barrels Murders* joined us to talk about the dysfunction that set the scene for these crimes and the evil in the minds of the killers.
