Re-Issue: The Fight to Bring an Alleged Pedophile Headmistress Back to Australia to Face Justice: Survivor Dassi Erlich's Story

Susan Thomson

This is a "Just The Facts" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. Susan Warren, 15 years old in the year of 1965, ran away with a man 8 years her senior, Arthur Thomson.The next 34 years of her life are quite frankly, a complete mystery.She had no friends, no community, and hardly any family contact.In fact, her life was so isolated that when she went missing in 1999, there wasn’t a missing persons report with the police until 2006.And this wasn’t because Arthur reported her missing - it was actually the subsequent result after both he and his mother, were found dead in their rural Queensland home.Searching through his “museum like” house, full of antique furniture with their price tags still attached, they found an old letter from Susan that she had addressed to her mother.This letter indicated that she had not just ran away, as Arthur had fleetingly suggested to the community years prior.The complete mystery of Susan’s life and disappearance has always stuck with crime and investigative journalist, Paula Doneman, who is our guest for today’s episode.For Support: Lifeline  on 13 11 1413 YARN on 13 92 76 (24/7 crisis support phone line for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples)1800RESPECT: 1800 737 732CREDITS:Host: Meshel Laurie.

If you haven’t yet listened to our previous episode, we highly suggest you go and listen to that one first.Our guest is a recovering heroin addict, and in our previous episode, we delved into her early childhood years, and the chaos brought into her life at the hands of her mother. Concurrently to that, however, there was something else happening in her life. She and her younger sister, aged 8 and 6, were being groomed and sexually assaulted by their adult neighbour for almost 5 years. In fact, this particular part of her story motivated our guest to reach out to us initially, emphasizing the crucial fact that it's never too late to report abuse.For Support: Lifeline  on 13 11 1413 YARN on 13 92 76 (24/7 crisis support phone line for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples)1800RESPECT: 1800 737 732CREDITS:Host: Meshel Laurie.

This is a "Just The Facts" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. Today's episode is part one of a two part series. Part two will be available this coming Thursday.For reasons that will become apparent, our guest has chosen to remain anonymous.Raised mostly in a single father household alongside her sister, our guest's upbringing was far from ordinary. Her relationship with her turbulent mother added to the complexity of her early years, as her mother's attempts to be involved often resulted in further pain and confusion.Today, our guest is a law abiding citizen, who has had a long career in social work. Her past, however, was anything but. Despite being a smart kid, full of promise and adored by her father and teachers, she found herself developing a severe heroin addiction, and a subsequent lifestyle of crime to support that addiction.For Support: Lifeline  on 13 11 1413 YARN on 13 92 76 (24/7 crisis support phone line for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples)1800RESPECT: 1800 737 732CREDITS:Host: Meshel Laurie.

A country town in the far north of Victoria. Krystal was intellectually disabled, and did not have any credit left on her phone to make any calls. One of the last sightings of Krystal that night, was meeting an unknown, well dressed man, who was waiting for her at the Pyramid Hill train station.For a long time, local police did not consider Krystal to be a victim of foul play, and wrongfully believed she was responsible for her own disappearance. Our guest today, Dennis O'Bryan, is a former police investigator, and author of "Last Train Home". A book in which he delves deep into the events and people involved in Krystal's disappearance.More info:Dennis O'Bryan's Last Train Home can be purchased at<a href="https://dennis-obryan.square.site/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank"> this link.</a> Also at Collins booksellers, or via the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/95756888854/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Help Us Find Krystal Fraser" Facebook group</a>We encourage our listeners to join the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/95756888854/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">"Help Us Find Krystal Fraser" Facebook group</a>If you have any details about this case, you can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or on <a href="https://crimestoppers.com.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">their website</a>Some extra audio content from Channel 10 News was used in this episodeFor Support: <a href="https://www.lifeline.org.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Lifeline</a>  on 13 11 14<a href="https://www.13yarn.org.au/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">13 YARN</a> on 13 92 76 (24/7 crisis support phone line for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples)1800RESPECT: 1800 737 732CREDITS:Host:<a href="https://www.miafreedman.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank"> </a>Meshel Laurie.

Three days before her pregnancy was due, Krystal Fraser went missing

I really like most of this podcast but I feel the same as Bschora. I get really frustrated at the empathy for the criminals and the lack of time they have to service for their crimes. What about the victims????????
My 5 stars is for Norelle...love her

Really like but.....

From their accent to the wonderful way they interact with each other and guests!

Love these Ladies!
