Arthur Brown

Arthur Stanley Brown was charged in 1998 for the August 26, 1970
rape and murder of Judith and Susan Mackay in Townsville,
Queensland. The jury failed to reach a verdict and a new trial
was blocked on the grounds that Brown was mentally incapable of
understanding the charges against him.


Brown's arrest attracted wide publicity, leading to a witness to
the abduction of Joanne Ratcliffe and Kirste Gordon from the
Adelaide Oval in 1973 identifying him as the man she had seen.
Brown was subsequently linked the the Disappearance of the
Beaumont Children, and other cold cases.


Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the sick and twisted life of
a man who, in death, is just as much a phantom as he was in life.
Nicknamed the Scarlet Pimpernel for his ability to show up
anywhere, anytime, his history is largely unaccounted for,
meaning we will likely never truly know just how evil he was...
