EP68: The Snowtown Murders: Bodies in Barrels (Part 1)

From August 1992 to May 1999, John Bunting led a gang of self-proclaimed vigilante serial killers on one of the world's most bizarre and sadistic murder sprees. Part 1 of the case of the Snowtown Murders, also known as the Bodies in Barrels Murders, delves into some of the darkest corners of the human psyche, where the lines between victim and perpetrator become terrifyingly blurred. John Bunting coerced vulnerable individuals to serve as accomplices in some of the most heinous crimes imaginable. He was a homophobic, Nazi-loving, blood-thirsty disaster of a human being, presenting one of the most shocking examples of stone-cold psychopathy you will ever hear about. Eleven victims lost their lives to his brutality and spent years decomposing in hidden barrels before his reign of terror ended in what is regarded as the worst serial killer case in Australian history. Please listen with caution, as this episode contains difficult topics relating to murder, sexual assault, child abuse, homophobia, and self-harm.
