Episode 243: The Scarlet Letter Murder

On September 22, 1986, 23 year old Beth Barnard was brutally
murdered in her home on Phillip Island, Australia. Beth was left
with an “A” carved into her chest in reference to The Scarlet
Letter, an 1850 novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne in which the main
character is marked as an adulterer by being forced to wear an A on
her chest. Beth had been having an affair with Fergus Cameron, a
well-known member of the community who was married to a woman named
Vivienne. Vivienne Cameron is Beth’s alleged killer, but she went
missing after the murder and still has never been seen or heard
from again… and some of the evidence doesn’t add up. Who killed
Beth that night, and was Vivienne’s disappearance a cover-up? Click
