New Year’s Eve, 1997. Hundreds of partygoers pack into
Furneaux Lodge in New Zealand’s remote
Marlborough Sounds. By morning, two young friends – Ben
Smart and Olivia Hope – have vanished
after stepping from a water taxi onto a stranger’s yacht. They
are never seen again. In this Crime at Bedtime episode, we walk
carefully through one of New Zealand’s most controversial murder
cases: the disappearance of Ben and Olivia and the conviction of
Scott Watson. We follow the movements of that
final night, the mystery man on the yacht, the massive search,
the forensic hair evidence, and the witness identifications that
helped secure a guilty verdict – along with the doubts and
challenges that have followed ever since. Told in a calm,
measured way for listening at night, this episode lays out the
key facts so you can decide what you make of the Scott Watson
case.
