STREWTH - Episode 2: Stranger than Fiction A True Australian Mystery Podcast
In 1930, struggling novelist Arthur Upfield sat around a campfire in the remote Western Australian outback, discussing with fellow workers how to commit the perfect murder, purely as a plot device for his detective novel. When three men subsequently disappeared and their remains were found burned according to the exact method Upfield had described, police didn't just investigate the obvious suspect, they investigated the author himself.
Decades later, historians uncovered an even darker truth, transforming this tale of fiction inspiring reality into something far more sinister.
This is the extraordinary case of the Murchison murders, where the line between imagination and reality, between individual crime and systemic brutality, becomes terrifyingly thin.
