Her name was Bridgette Porter. To those who loved her, she was Biddy.
A ten-year-old girl from regional Australia who loved writing poetry, dreamed of becoming a journalist and had her whole life ahead of her.
On 8 July 2020, Biddy was killed.
Legal restrictions mean that much of what happened cannot be publicly told. But Biddy's story is so much more than the circumstances of her death.
In Season 6 of Watching Two Detectives, we hear from Biddy's family, friends and those fighting alongside them to understand the questions that remain, the challenges they've faced and their determination to create meaningful change.
Above all, this seven-part series is about remembering Biddy for who she was and ensuring her voice is heard.

Following the five-part crossover between Watching Two Detectives and Stop the Killing, we are sharing another standout conversation from the Stop the Killing archive.
On April 20, 1999, two students arrived at Columbine High School intending to bomb the school. When their bombs failed, they opened fire.
At the time, 12 students and one teacher were killed. In February 2025, Columbine survivor Anne Marie Hochhalter died from complications linked to the gunshot wounds she sustained during the attack. Her death was later ruled a homicide, bringing the recognised death toll to 13 students and one teacher — 14 victims in total.
In this episode, Sarah Ferris and Katherine Schweit speak with Frank DeAngelis, the former principal of Columbine High School.
Frank takes us back inside the school on the day of the attack and shares what it was like to lead a community through unimaginable violence, grief and trauma.
But this conversation is about far more than the events of April 20.
Frank explains how the impact of a school shooting continues long after the emergency vehicles, investigators and television cameras leave. The psychological wounds spread through students, teachers, families, first responders and the wider community — and for many, those wounds last a lifetime.
He also reflects on the responsibility he felt toward the Columbine community, the promises he made to the families and why his role did not simply end when he retired as principal.
This is a conversation about leadership, survivor guilt, recovery, school safety and the human consequences that cannot be measured by casualty numbers alone.
It is also a reminder that behind every statistic is a person, a family and a life forever altered.
Let’s Be FrankFrank discusses school security, hardening targets and why safety measures can go too far when they begin to change schools from welcoming places into fortresses:

Following our five-part crossover between Watching Two Detectives and Stop the Killing, we’re sharing a specially selected episode from the Stop the Killing archive.
On May 24, 2022, a gunman entered Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, killing 19 children and two teachers and injuring 17 others.
This episode was recorded just two days after the Uvalde school shooting, while information was still emerging and before the full, deeply troubling picture of the police response became known.
Sarah Ferris is joined by Katherine Schweit, former head of the FBI’s Active Shooter Program, to examine what was understood in those first 48 hours.
They discuss the gunman’s movements before the attack, his social-media activity, warning behaviours, access to firearms, the early questions surrounding school security and the initial reports of a lengthy delay before officers entered the classroom.
Katherine also challenges some of the misinformation and conspiracy theories that appeared almost immediately after the shooting and explains how to identify reliable information during a rapidly unfolding investigation.
The conversation explores why blaming mass shootings solely on mental illness is both misleading and unsupported by research, the difference between mental illness and urgent emotional distress, and the importance of recognising concerning behaviour before violence occurs.
Because this episode captures the immediate aftermath, some early information discussed was later corrected or clarified. As official investigations progressed, Stop the Killing returned to Uvalde several times to examine the police response, command failures, active-shooter protocols and the legal questions surrounding accountability.

In the fifth and final episode of this special crossover between Stop the Killing and Watching Two Detectives, former head of the FBI’s Active Shooter Program Katherine Schweit joins retired New South Wales detectives Scott Rogan and Peter Hogan one last time.
The conversation begins with the information we still do not know about the Bondi Beach mass shooting — and why pending court proceedings, privacy laws and suppression orders can limit what is released to the public.
Katherine, Scott and Peter examine the growing pressure for instant answers after major crimes, the spread of conspiracy theories and the new challenge facing investigators: artificial intelligence making it increasingly difficult to know whether video, images and evidence shared online are real.
They also reflect on the extraordinary courage shown during the attack. Bondi lifesavers ran towards danger with first-aid kits while shots were still being fired. Ordinary people protected strangers, carried the injured and made decisions in seconds that may have saved lives.
But what about those who freeze?
Katherine explains why fight, flight and freeze are all normal human responses — and why nobody can truly know how they will react until they are placed in that situation. Her advice is clear: your first responsibility is to survive and return home to the people who love you.
The episode then turns to the personal mission behind both podcasts.
Katherine reflects on leaving the FBI but never leaving the work behind, and on how Stop the Killing restored some of her faith in humanity by creating a community of listeners who want answers, solutions and practical ways to make their communities safer.
Scott and Peter explore the emotional toll of law enforcement, the coping mechanisms officers develop and why bringing humanity back into these conversations matters.
This final episode also considers how victims should be spoken about. Behind every statistic is a person, a family and a life permanently changed.
This is the final chapter of the five-part Stop the Killing x Watching Two Detectives crossover — a series about the Bondi Beach mass shooting, police response, misinformation, courage, survival and prevention.
Because this is more than true crime.
It is a mission.
Over the next few weeks, both podcast feeds will continue the crossover. Watching Two Detectives will feature selected episodes from the more than 200 episodes of Stop the Killing, while Stop the Killing will share the first two episodes of the award-winning first season of Watching Two Detectives.
Follow both podcasts to hear more powerful, victim-focused stories and expert conversations designed to inform, challenge and help keep people safer.

In Part Four of this special crossover between Stop the Killing and Watching Two Detectives, former head of the FBI’s Active Shooter Program Katherine Schweit continues her conversation with retired New South Wales detectives Scott Rogan and Peter Hogan.
Together, they examine the police response to the Bondi Beach terror attack, the speed at which a mass shooting can unfold, and the impossible decisions officers must make in the first few minutes of an active-shooter incident.
The conversation explores the difference between directed terrorism, inspired terrorism and independently motivated attackers, as well as the danger of extremist propaganda and livestreamed violence inspiring future attacks.
Scott and Peter also address the misinformation that spread online in the immediate aftermath of Bondi. Images of wounded officers taking cover were used to accuse them of cowardice, while a photograph of a female officer directing civilians away from danger was falsely framed as surrender.
Katherine explains why social-media snapshots cannot show what an officer was seeing, what intelligence they had or what tactical decisions they were being forced to make.
The episode then turns to the extraordinary actions of Detective Senior Constable Cesar Barraza, the plain-clothes detective who confronted attackers armed with long guns from approximately 40 to 45 metres away.
Katherine, Scott and Peter break down the difficulty of making accurate handgun shots over that distance, under extreme pressure, with civilians and fellow officers still in danger.
This is not Hollywood. Real officers have limited ammunition. Real decisions are made in seconds. And real lives were saved.
This episode is Part Four of a five-part Stop the Killing x Watching Two Detectives crossover examining the Bondi Beach mass shooting, the police response, the human cost and the lessons that may help prevent future violence.
This is not about politics.
It is about facts, response and prevention.

In Part Three of this special Stop the Killing x Watching Two Detectives crossover, Katherine Schweit is joined by retired NSW detectives Scott Rogan and Peter Hogan to examine the Bondi Beach mass shooting.
This episode looks at the six-minute attack, the police response, the tactical realities of the scene, and the extraordinary bravery of civilians who intervened while others were still under fire.
This is not a political discussion about the Israel-Palestine conflict. It is a factual look at one specific mass shooting incident, the motives and climate around it, and the lessons that may help prevent future attacks.

What happens when three experienced investigators from opposite sides of the world sit down to examine how police respond to an active shooter?
In this special crossover between Stop the Killing and Watching Two Detectives, former FBI Special Agent Katherine Schweit joins retired New South Wales detectives Peter Hogan and Scott Rogan for an expert examination of the lessons that have reshaped mass-shooting prevention, preparation and police response.
Katherine was working on national security and counterterrorism cases when the murder of 20 children and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School changed the direction of her career. Following the shooting, she was appointed to the White House team tasked with developing a coordinated national response to mass shootings and became the architect of the FBI’s Active Shooter Program.
In Part One, Katherine explains how the devastating events at Sandy Hook helped accelerate a fundamental change in policing: moving away from the traditional strategy of “contain, negotiate and wait” towards the immediate deployment of officers to confront and stop an active threat.
Peter and Scott reveal how those lessons travelled across the world and influenced Australian policing. They discuss the introduction of New South Wales Police’s Active Armed Offender training, the impact of the 2014 Lindt Café siege and the confronting reality of preparing ordinary frontline officers to run towards attackers armed with military-style weapons.
Together, they explore:
Why active-shooter incidents can be over within minutes
The extraordinary risks faced by the first officers entering the scene
Why an active shooter and a mass shooting are not always the same thing
Why workplaces—not schools—account for many active-shooter attacks in the United States
The challenges of negotiating with attackers driven by extremist or ideological motives
Why warning signs must be recognised and reported before violence begins
How information shared by one student helped prevent a planned school shooting
Why measuring the attacks that never happened is so important
Katherine also shares the remarkable story of the message that reminded her why Stop the Killing must continue: a school vice principal who credited the podcast with helping her team recognise the warning signs and prevent a planned attack.
This conversation lays the groundwork for the next part of the series, when Katherine, Peter and Scott turn their attention to the December 14, 2025 Bondi Beach terrorist attack, examining the actions of the attackers, civilians and responding officers through their combined FBI and Australian policing experience. The attack targeted a Hanukkah celebration and killed 15 people.
This is not simply a conversation about what happened. It is a conversation about what has been learned, what has changed—and what still needs to change to stop the next attack.

Stop the Killing Patreon:GUNS, SUICIDE AND THE WOMEN WHO TALK TO THE DEAD — PART TWO
In Part Two of this special crossover between Stop the Killing and Watching Two Detectives, former FBI Special Agent Katherine Schweit continues her conversation with retired New South Wales detectives Peter Hogan and Scott Rogan.
Before the team turns its attention to the Bondi Beach killings, they take a deeper look at the realities that sit behind conversations about firearms, mass violence and public safety.
Katherine explains why she wrote Stop the Killing: A Simple Guide to the Second Amendment and why productive conversations about guns in the United States have become so difficult. With hundreds of millions of firearms already in circulation, she argues that prevention has to begin with the laws, risks and realities that currently exist—not the world people wish existed.
The conversation also examines one of the most overlooked parts of America’s firearms crisis: suicide. Katherine explains that the majority of firearm deaths in the United States are self-inflicted, raising difficult questions about access to weapons during moments of crisis and how firearms can turn a temporary period of distress into an irreversible outcome.
Peter, Scott and Katherine discuss:
Why active-shooter attacks and other forms of mass violence are not directly comparable
How the weapon used can dramatically change the number of casualties
The difference between bolt-action, semi-automatic and automatic firearms
Why Australia’s firearms restrictions mattered during the Bondi Beach attack
How the elevated firing position at Bondi could have produced an even greater loss of life if different weapons had been available
What the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting demonstrates about firing speed, distance and crowd density
Why statistics must be properly explained rather than used to support a predetermined argument
The conversation then moves from mass-shooting prevention to another extraordinary investigation from Katherine’s career.
Katherine introduces her book Women Who Talk to the Dead, which follows Detroit detective Shannon Jones and FBI forensic specialist Leslie Larsen as they uncover a connection between missing-person investigations and unidentified murder victims buried in paupers’ graves.
What begins with one detective searching through decades-old paper files develops into the largest exhumation of murder victims ever undertaken by the FBI.
Katherine reveals how a team of female detectives, prosecutors, forensic anthropologists and investigators volunteered their expertise and time to recover remains, obtain DNA and finally return names to people who had been unidentified for decades.
Peter also reflects on his own experience working alongside a forensic anthropologist during the painstaking exhumation of a murder victim—and why a line in a news report stating that investigators “exhumed the body and obtained DNA” can never capture the time, care and expertise that work truly requires.
This episode is about the human realities hidden behind the statistics: the people lost to firearms, the investigators who carry the responsibility of finding answers and the extraordinary work required to give unidentified victims their names back.
And after two episodes of expert discussion, the stage is now set.
In Part Three, Katherine Schweit, Peter Hogan and Scott Rogan turn their combined FBI and New South Wales policing experience towards the Bondi Beach killings and examine the events of that tragic day.

In this special crossover between Stop the Killing and Watching Two Detectives, former FBI Special Agent Katherine Schweit joins retired New South Wales detectives Peter Hogan and Scott Rogan for an expert examination of the lessons that have reshaped mass-shooting prevention, preparation and police response.
Katherine was working on national security and counterterrorism cases when the murder of 20 children and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School changed the direction of her career. Following the shooting, she was appointed to the White House team tasked with developing a coordinated national response to mass shootings and became the architect of the FBI’s Active Shooter Program.
In Part One, Katherine explains how the devastating events at Sandy Hook helped accelerate a fundamental change in policing: moving away from the traditional strategy of “contain, negotiate and wait” towards the immediate deployment of officers to confront and stop an active threat.
Peter and Scott reveal how those lessons travelled across the world and influenced Australian policing. They discuss the introduction of New South Wales Police’s Active Armed Offender training, the impact of the 2014 Lindt Café siege and the confronting reality of preparing ordinary frontline officers to run towards attackers armed with military-style weapons.
Together, they explore:
Why active-shooter incidents can be over within minutes
The extraordinary risks faced by the first officers entering the scene
Why an active shooter and a mass shooting are not always the same thing
Why workplaces—not schools—account for many active-shooter attacks in the United States
The challenges of negotiating with attackers driven by extremist or ideological motives
Why warning signs must be recognised and reported before violence begins
How information shared by one student helped prevent a planned school shooting
Why measuring the attacks that never happened is so important

What happens when three experienced investigators from opposite sides of the world sit down to examine how police respond to an active shooter?

Episode Title: The Macquarie Fields Riots: Unmasking the Chaos and Fallout with Retired Constable Andrew Murphy
Podcast Description:
In this gripping conclusion to the Macquarie Fields Riots series, hosts Scott Rogan and Peter Hogan continue their deep dive into one of Sydney's most notorious civil unrest incidents. Retired Senior Constable Andrew Murphy returns to give us the full picture of the aftermath of the tragic police pursuit that ended in the deaths of two young men. What followed was not just a community in grief but a full-scale riot, inflamed by rumors that police had rammed the stolen vehicle, leading to weeks of violent unrest.
Murphy recounts the harrowing days and nights on the frontlines, from being hit by bricks to enduring Molotov cocktails and the dangerous misinformation that spread like wildfire through the streets. With sniper overwatch and police units under siege, this episode explores the extreme tensions between law enforcement and the public.
Key themes include the rise of mob mentality, false narratives perpetuated by those seeking vengeance, and the lasting impact on the officers involved.
Key Episode Highlights:
[00:02:00] Jesse Kelly's return to his home after the fatal crash and the recorded conversation that inflamed tensions.
[00:06:18] Debunking the myth that police rammed the car during the pursuit.
[00:09:00] Tactical operations to hold the crime scene against an increasingly hostile crowd.
[00:13:00] A moment-by-moment account of riot control, complete with brick-throwing mobs and Molotov cocktails.
[00:22:29] Intelligence of armed elements amidst the unrest, leading to sniper overwatch to protect the police.
[00:30:00] The final thoughts on the police pursuit, Jesse Kelly’s arrest, and reflections on public order policing.
Guest:
Retired Senior Constable Andrew Murphy
A first-hand witness to the Macquarie Fields Riots, Andrew Murphy returns to provide more details about the chaotic events and the ongoing challenges faced by officers during one of the most infamous riots in Australian history.

The Macquarie Fields Riots: Inside the Chaos with Retired Constable Andrew Murphy
Podcast Description: In the Season 3 premiere of Watching Two Detectives, hosts Scott Rogan and Peter Hogan take us back to one of the most turbulent events in recent Australian history: The Macquarie Fields Riots. On February 25, 2005, the quiet streets of this Sydney suburb erupted into chaos following a fatal police pursuit. What started as a tragic car accident quickly escalated into a full-scale riot, with angry locals hurling bricks, bottles, and rage at the vastly outnumbered police force.
Joining the conversation is Retired Senior Constable Andrew Murphy, who was on the frontlines that fateful night. Murphy shares firsthand accounts of the critical incident, offering an insider’s perspective on the dangerous dynamics that led to the riots and the police's struggle to regain control. He recounts the hailstorm of bricks, his own injuries, and the relentless efforts to secure the crime scene amidst civil unrest.
We also dive into the months-long investigation that led to the police pursuit and the tragic deaths of two young men. Strikeforce Durden, headed by Scott Rogan, had been tracking a notorious gang involved in violent armed robberies across Sydney, leading to the fateful chase and the riots.
Key Episode Highlights:
[00:02:00] The high-speed chase and fatal crash that sparked the riots.
[00:07:30] Months of armed robberies leading to increased tensions in Macquarie Fields.
[00:09:30] Retired Constable Andrew Murphy’s vivid account of the riots and his injury during the onslaught.
[00:18:00] The calm before the storm and the eerie silence before the hailstorm of bricks.
[00:25:00] A harrowing moment when Murphy is knocked out by a brick, only to wake up and return to the riot.
[00:29:30] The critical police investigation and accusations that followed the fatal chase.
