Bonus - Gone Fishing case breakthrough

There has been a major development in the case of one of New Zealand’s hugely popular true crime podcasts - Gone Fishing produced by Stuff and RNZ. The crown has admitted there was a miscarriage of justice in the trials that saw Gail Maney and Stephen Stone convicted of the murder of Deane Fuller-Sandys. Maney and Stone were convicted in 1999 of killing the West Auckland tyre fitter, but the Crown now says there were grave problems with the evidence heard in two trials, in 1999 and the year 2000. The case will go to the Court of Appeal next month. Private investigator Tim McKinnel, who was involved in the podcast Gone Fishing, talked to Newsable about the case and the influence of the podcast Gone Fishing Learn more about your ad choices.

The police said she’d put a hit on a man who stole drugs from her. She went to jail for 15 years. She’s consistently denied having anything to do with the disappearance of Deane Fuller-Sandys. In fact, she says, she never even met him. She isn't sure he was murdered at all. She thinks he’d just … gone fishing. In this eight-part series, Amy Maas and Adam Dudding investigate the case against Maney. They unravel the conflicting and shifting accounts of key witnesses. They expose major flaws in the police timeline. And they raise disturbing questions about police conduct in the case.
