On July 27th, the bodies of 36-year-old Helena Wright and her
23-month-old daughter Hazel were discovered in the waters off
Cape Northumberland, near Port Macdonnell in South Australia.
Helena’s three-month-old son Lewis was also believed to have been
with them, but despite an extensive search, his body has never
been found.

Police are treating the deaths as a murder-suicide, but one
crucial question remains: what happened in the hours before
Helena and her children disappeared?

The day before her death, Helena reportedly went to Mount Gambier
police seeking help. She was allegedly told to return the
following day. Hours later, a friend called police requesting a
welfare check, but by then Helena and her children were gone.

In this episode of The Trial Australia, Wayne Flower is joined by
Daily Mail reporter Karleigh Smith, who has been investigating
the tragedy on the ground in South Australia.

They examine what is known about Helena and her family, the
mysterious circumstances surrounding her final hours, and the
questions that will now form part of a coronial investigation.

Wayne also speaks to Criminal Psychologist Tim Watson-Murno, to
break down the psyche of someone willing to commit
murder-suicide.
