Who killed Rosslyn McQueen? The Australian’s Hedley Thomas and
Karina Berger investigate the unsolved 1986 murder of a
30-year-old pregnant mother, poisoned with strychnine in her own
home in country Victoria, as her toddler played nearby. Rosslyn’s
husband, Ray McQueen, told police and ambulance officers she had
terminal cancer. But Ros didn’t have cancer and nobody believed
she would have taken her own life. This podcast, from the creator
of The Teacher’s Pet, Bronwyn and Shandee’s Story, also features
Rex Bakes, a relentless, retired private investigator who once
worked for Ray McQueen’s defence team. Now, Rex is determined to
help get justice for Ros. Subscribers to The Australian hear
new episodes first on Apple Podcasts, on The Australian’s app and
thepoisonedwife.com, where you’ll find photos, videos, timelines,
stories and more.
