A crime that sent shockwaves through Western Australia—Corryn Rayney, a devoted mother and respected lawyer, was found buried in a shallow grave in Kings Park in August 2007. Her brutal murder triggered one of the largest criminal investigations in Australian history, but instead of uncovering justice, it unraveled into a case mired in controversy and missteps.

Police quickly honed in on Corryn’s husband, Lloyd Rayney, a prominent criminal barrister, branding him as the sole suspect in a very public manner. Yet, their investigation was riddled with tunnel vision, critical evidence was overlooked, and promising suspects were disregarded. Despite his acquittal and the court’s clear dismissal of the case against him, the question remains: Who killed Corryn Rayney?
Join us as we examine how a flawed investigation allowed a killer to walk free, and explore the lingering mystery behind one of Australia’s most infamous unsolved cases.

Unsolved & Unjust: Corryn Rayney

In one of the most disturbing child abuse cases in recent history, Zachary and William Zulock, a married couple from Georgia, adopted two young boys and subjected them to unimaginable cruelty. When a digital trail of child exploitation led investigators to their doorstep, what law enforcement uncovered was more depraved than anyone could have imagined—7 terabytes of video evidence, secret text exchanges, and an underground network of predators. How did these men evade suspicion for so long? What role did technology play in exposing their crimes? And most importantly, how did the survivors find the strength to fight for justice? 


In this gripping episode, we unravel the shocking details of the case, the grueling investigation, and the moment justice was finally served. This is the story of the Zulock case.

Unbelievable: William and Zachary Zulock

Unjust: Michelle Savage

One moment she was there, the next, she was gone. On February 18, 2019, 15-year-old Rebecca Reusch vanished from her sister’s Berlin home, leaving behind a void that continues to echo through Germany. 


With no witnesses and no trace of her ever leaving her sister's home, suspicion quickly fell upon her brother-in-law, the only other person in the home with Rebecca that morning. Disturbing internet searches on his devices hinted at a possible sinister motive, yet Rebecca's family adamantly maintains his innocence. Six years have passed, marked by the somber anniversary on February 18, 2025, and the authorities have confirmed that this investigation has shifted from a missing person case to a search for a body. 


In this episode, we delve into the chilling disappearance of Rebecca Reusch, examining the unsettling evidence, the conflicting narratives, and the countless theories about how a 15-year-old girl could vanish without a trace.
