Shortcut: Father, Teacher, Child Killer

Feb 9th, 2026 2:00 AM

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. Ten-year-olds Louise Bell and Michael Black were abducted from their bedrooms in South Australia, years apart, before police uncovered the truth about a trusted teacher who was hiding a double life of extreme violence. An innocent man was wrongly accused along the way, and investigators were left asking whether there may have been other victims linked to the case. Our guest is Michael Madigan, author of Father, Teacher, Child Killer. You can purchase your copy of Father, Teacher, Child Killer here. Join our Facebook Group here.
