True Crime Conversations

In January 2023, 36-year-old labor and delivery nurse Lindsay Clancy strangled her three young children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan, in the basement of their Duxbury, Massachusetts home before attempting to take her own life. While her defense team contends she was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder, prosecutors argue her actions were planned and intentional.
In episode one of our special mini-series tracking the trial, we return to the beginning of the Clancy family's story. Featuring harrowing court testimony from Lindsay's husband, Patrick Clancy, we unpack the family's life leading up to January 24, her rapidly declining mental health, and the devastating timeline of the day that shattered their lives forever.

In a True Crime Conversations first, Gemma Bath is embarking on an exclusive ride along with the New South Wales Police Force for Operation Amarok. A high-impact, statewide blitz cracking down on high-risk domestic violence offenders.
Expecting tactical helmets, battering rams, and dramatic door-busts, the reality on the ground turned out to be far more nuanced. Shadowing plainclothes officers in beanies and jeans, Gemma witnessed four arrests across Sydney's Central Metro region, uncovering a complex web of family violence, repeat breaches of ADVOs, and systemic challenges that extend beyond intimate partner relationships.
In this special bonus episode of True Crime Conversations, we go behind the scenes on the frontline of domestic violence policing. Featuring candid interviews with Sergeant Price, Superintendent Danielle Emerton, and NSW Police Minister Yasmin Catley, we examine the scale of Operation Amarok.

At 8:49am on a Tuesday morning in November 2022, 30-year-old Jessica Zrinski was captured on CCTV in the passenger seat of a blue Holden Commodore pulling into a service station in Mount Victoria. Trailing from her passenger door was a massive tree branch, and driving the car was Paul Jones, a man she had met outside a Western Sydney pub just hours earlier.
Those eight minutes and 40 seconds of footage would be the last time Jessica was ever seen alive. Soon after, Jones vanished off the grid for nearly three years, eventually located by police living in a camouflaged cave in dense bushland before being subpoenaed to give evidence at her coronial inquest.
In this episode of True Crime Conversations, NewsCorp investigative journalist Ashlea Hansen joins Gemma Bath to unpack the bizarre timeline, the extensive searches through the Blue Mountains bushland, and what Jessica’s family hopes to finally learn as the inquest resumes.

In November 2022, four college students: Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, were brutally stabbed to death in their off-campus share house in Moscow, Idaho. Seven weeks later, criminology student Bryan Kohberger was arrested and eventually accepted a plea deal, receiving four life sentences without the possibility of parole to avoid the death penalty.
Now, Kohberger is back in the headlines after filing for post-conviction relief. In this update episode of True Crime Conversations, Gemma Bath is rejoined by journalist and author Vicky Ward following the release of the updated edition of The Idaho Four: An American Tragedy.

In October 2019, 23-year-old Sarah Rosenberg went on a date at Sydney’s noodle markets with a man she had recently met on a dating app. But when they returned to his place and Sarah explained that she was feeling unwell and didn’t want to be intimate, the night turned into a horrific nightmare.
What followed was a grueling journey through a legal system that often felt like it was putting Sarah on trial rather than the man accused. From having her private medical and therapy records subpoenaed to enduring four and a half days of brutal cross-examination without her own lawyer, Sarah experienced firsthand how deeply the justice system can disempower survivors of sexual violence.
In this episode of True Crime Conversations, Sarah Rosenberg joins Gemma Bath to share her story, expose the hidden realities of reporting sexual assault in Australia, and discuss how her experience led her to found With You We Can, a registered charity and legal education platform designed to support victims navigating the process.
Together, they examine the urgent need for structural reform, the push for independent legal representation for victim-survivors, protecting confidential counselling records, and how to restore agency to those seeking justice.
