About this episode
Jon disparages Bronwyn’s mother Barbara as a sex worker. In one of his final comments in his 1998 interview with police investigating the disappearance of Jon’s estranged wife five years earlier, Jon’s smear of the grandmother of Lauren and Chrystal goes unchallenged until now.
Kim Marshall and her brother Andy emphatically reject the labelling and explain Barbara’s mental illness struggles as depression took hold. A deeply personal account of Barbara’s life story is told through her own statement to police.
Bronwyn’s long-silent sister Melissa comes forward, shedding more light on Jon’s controlling nature and his jealousy of Bronwyn’s relationships with her friends and siblings.
Inconsistencies and omissions in Jon’s 1998 account of his conversations with Bronwyn and their actions on the night of her disappearance are singled out for special attention by listeners who zero in on the detail and compare it with known evidence and Jon’s earlier versions.
