Australian True Crime

On January 12th 1970, Three-Year-Old Cheryl Grimmer disappeared from Fairy Meadow Beach. While it’s technically one of Australia’s longest-standing cold cases, Cheryl’s family and the two highly respected former homicide detectives believe they know exactly what happened to her, and who’s responsible.    Cheryl’s eldest brother, Ricky Nash, was the last person to see her on the day of her disappearance. Ricky joins us to discuss his fight to find justice for his baby sister.   If you'd like to assist the Grimmer family, you can also sign this petition - addressed to Attorney General Speakman - to help in the fight to find justice for Cheryl.   The brilliant BBC Sounds podcast Fairy Meadow, hosted by Jon Kay, can be found here.     LATER THIS WEEK   Staying with the Cheryl Grimmer story, we’ll hear from Frank Sanvitale & Damian Loone, the two former homicide detectives who arrested the man both they and Ricky Nash believe to be responsible for Cheryl’s disappearance and murder.   CREDITS:   Host: Meshel Laurie.
