The Lonely Hearts Killer

On the 26th of May 1990 a number of calls came in to 3AW’s late
night lonely hearts program called Matchmakers. One seemingly
eligible bachelor received several interested parties and
potential matches: 


“G’Day. I’m Rodney from Castlemaine. I’m 35, a Gemini, and a
Marine Biologist. I enjoy basketball and squash. I’m a non-smoker
and not a big drinker. I’m just looking for someone to share in
my happiness and a quiet life. I like to keep things clean, but
otherwise, I have no major hang ups…”


Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the man dubbed The Lonely
Hearts Killer, and the monumental failure of the justice system
that saw him prematurely released to go on and kill again.
