In July 2001, British backpackers Peter Falconio and Joanne Lees
were driving through the dark heart of the Australian outback
when a vehicle flashed its lights behind them on the Stuart
Highway. Minutes later, Peter was gone – and Joanne was running
for her life.

In this episode of Crime at Bedtime, we walk slowly through the
night of the attack, the frantic search in the Northern Territory
desert, and the investigation that turned a missing-persons case
into one of Australia’s most famous true crime trials. We’ll look
at what Joanne Lees says happened on that lonely stretch of road,
how police built their case, and why the disappearance of Peter
Falconio still sparks debate decades later.

If you’re drawn to Australian true crime, outback mysteries and
cases like Azaria Chamberlain, this deep-dive into the Peter
Falconio case is for you. Settle in, press play, and let the
story unfold.
