Casefile True Crime

During the late 1950s, Perth’s idyllic beaches, laidback lifestyle and small town atmosphere made it feel like a safe, protected place to live. But that sense of safety would be abruptly shattered by a man who would come to be known as The Night Caller.

Case 08: Holly Wells & Jessica Chapman

He was implicated in a case of missing money from a courthouse evidence vault. He was facing allegations of misconduct and illegal handling of a witness in a major drug trafficking trial, which lead to the judge ordering a federal investigation.

And unfortunately, for US assistant attorney Jonathan Luna things were about to get worse. Much, much worse.
