    As an Aussie, I have to say that I love that you pick a lot of cases out of Australia. No one else really does. Also, the way you pronunciate things correctly doesn't go unnoticed either. Love to see it mate ;)

    This is a very infamous case in Australia and Netflix have scooped it up. All you need to know is in Australia if you want to get away with Murder do it in the outback. It has a long history of very dodgy Police work and it seems life is pretty cheap in the top end. It's the sort of town Stephen King could layer a story over. Tiny isolated town loaded with misfits who seem to hate each other. It's as if Larrima is a magnet for people who want to fall off the radar. A weird style of alcohol enhanced de-evolution has set up there.

      Your description of the outback remind me quite a bit of some of the sketchy, desert towns in the more desolate, isolated areas in the US state of New Mexico. Unfortunately, a lot of the police out there are crooked thugs themselves. Tons of unseemly, murder-y nonsense going down over there.

    As a born and bred Territorian I do remember meeting Paddy in the late 90’s before the big floods in Katherine N.T. He was a friendly, pleasant sort of bloke when sober but turned into an obnoxious individual once he started drinking. No surprise how he could piss people off especially in a small community like Larrimah. His body might turn up one day but the N.T. is a big, mostly uninhabited place with lots of unsolved mysteries.

      @IB-1963 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@TrumpAndKamila I did not know the area well enough to recall "Bre Gardens" - I was there in Goodooga for a few months as a young Constable to replace the two local Police Officers who were removed "overnight" because they had a monumental falling out. The head station was then Walgett (140 kms to the South) and I was directed to go up until full time replacements were recruited. I would hazard a guess that "Bre Gardens" was likely named after the area - the next nearest town to the West is "Brewarrina" seems a bit coincidental. Lots of things were named "Bre" even the local football team. I have never been to Papua but I understand what you say about "behind bars" - Walgett in fact was the worst example of this feature - not a single pane of glass in the whole commercial main street did not have steel mesh covering the glass. I do remember that I went shooting on a property just over the border in Queensland - the township of Hebel - I was invited there by a man named "Army" - I am six foot two and he made me look like a midget. I was glad to make his acquaintance just in case I needed to call upon him for help in the township of Goodgooga given that I was one out. There was in fact a riot there during my time when a funeral was delayed for a Shillingsworth when the funeral hearse was turned back on the Brewarrina to Goodooga unsealed black dirt road because it rained. Ask your family members about how easily it was to get bogged on wet black dirt roads. Anyway, the funeral was delayed 3 days and those who had come from all over NSW and QLD got on the drink and rioted when the publican went to close the Hotel early because it was all getting out of hand. Geez that has triggered a few memories for me. I survived all that and more and recently turned 60. My thoughts now turn to those unlucky Queensland Police Officers who were murdered by ironically the former Principal of Walgett Highschool - its all sliding doors stuff - I disarmed an armed offender on my own on Weilmoringle Station after he shot at two people escaping a Domestic Violence offence. Back in those days there were no telephones apart from some "party lines" and the single side band police radios did not work unless it was night time - just too remote and hot - geez look at me rambling on - maybe I should write a book someday LOL

    After hearing your take on this and then reading the comments I feel like I need to make a comment. I was introduced to Paddy by a good mate of mine Tom Kerwin(dec) back in the late 80s. Over that time Paddy also became a good mate. I used to go through Larrimah when working on stations inland from there. I would drop into the pub for a meal and too have a couple of quite ones with Paddy and Barry. In my opinion Paddy was a top bloke, someone who would have your back if needed. I have also eaten Fran's pies and they definitely where no way as good as the pubs. The fellow who probably killed Paddy was a loner, I fiscally saw him a few times but did not know him. She told me that he was the gardener and he was bad tempered. Paddy could be a bit of a stirrer but in my book he was a good mate. I still have both Tommie and Paddy's phone numbers in my phone

    Thank you so much for covering this case Dr G! Such an intriguing and bizarre story. The people who live in these remote, outback towns are often very umm ... unique individuals. Travelling through the far north is an interesting experience. Lots of quirky characters.
    I don't think Paddy's body will ever be found. Australia's outback is the perfect place to hide a body - so I've heard. It's so vast and animals would take care of what is left of the body. They should have engaged the services of an Aboriginal tracker.
    I want to know what happened to poor Kelly. Or maybe I don't. 😢

This video points out that some small villages can never change too. Spending too much time studying while living in a now quiet neighborhood was my only excuse when more than one person during the last month felt the need to remind me and/or others again that predators or trouble makers almost never change and so when someone acts creepy I better not ever be trying to change them while making excuses for them because they are feeling sick.
