Sinopsis

In February 1986, a woman went out with friends after work, then headed home. When her family awoke the next morning and realised she hadn't arrived, they assumed she'd stayed with her friends for the night. It wasn't until Monday when her workplace called up to say she'd missed a shift that they realised anything was wrong. The role of true crime in the media world is that of cheap clicks (or, in 1986, easy sales). It was the Anita Cobby case that brought the corruption in the 4th estate (and the lack of morality within the shockjock community) to public attention. Join Holly and Matthew as they examine not only the murder, but the trial, the media interference, and the consequences of the entire thing - not just on young women everywhere, but on the media landscape as well.
