The best confession police had ever heard: Caroline Clarke Pt. 2
Less than 10% of reported sexual assaults result in a conviction in Australia. So, what does it actually take to bring a rapist to justice? In part 2 of former police officer and survivor Caroline Clarke’s chat with Gary Jubelin, we find out exactly that. In this episode, Caroline details the aftermath of being sexually assaulted by a massage therapist - from the agonising decision to report, to becoming an active force in her case recording a confession that police called "the best they’d ever heard". Caroline also unpacks one of the most misunderstood reactions in trauma - the freeze response, a survival mechanism hardwired into all of us. Yet it still continues to be used against survivors in courtrooms, in conversations, and in their own heads. Caroline breaks down why it happens, how it works, and why the shame so many survivors carry about it is not only unfair, it's wrong.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
When a cop becomes the victim: Caroline Clarke Pt. 1
Caroline Clarke spent nearly a decade as a police officer on the rough streets of West Yorkshire chasing down criminals, working the drugs squad, and stepping into homes torn apart by domestic violence. But nothing in her training prepared her for what happened when she became a victim-survivor herself. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Caroline opens up about growing up in a home where love and violence lived side by side, the silence she inherited from her mother, and the sexual assault that left her questioning why her body froze when she thought she would fight. Caroline breaks down the freeze response, a trauma reaction still misunderstood by police, juries, and the public, and explains why survivors are so often blamed instead of believed. Caroline is now the founder of the No More Silence movement, dedicated to helping survivors break their silence and shift the shame back to where it belongs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stabbed, bottled & still standing: Brando 'The Balkan Bear' Peričić Pt. 1
At six foot five and 118 kilos, Brando Peričić is one of the most physically imposing heavyweights in the UFC. But behind the fighter is a story most people never see, a story of an absent father, childhood bullying, depression, suicidal thoughts, and a young man who had every reason to fail, yet refused to. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Gary sits down with the Adelaide-born UFC heavyweight in a raw, honest, and deeply personal conversation that goes well beyond the octagon. Brando opens up about growing up in a Croatian household with a single mother working two jobs, a father who went to prison, and a childhood marked by anger, confusion, and pain he didn't know how to carry. From getting expelled in year 10 and working Adelaide's roughest pub doors, where he was stabbed, bottled, and coward punched, to sleeping in the gym while chasing a dream everyone told him was impossible, Brando's journey is as brutal as it is inspiring.

Deciding which killers walk free: Jessica Brown Pt. 2
Before her brother Eden was murdered, Jessica Brown was already fighting for social change. She had dedicated her career to helping disadvantaged girls, giving them a chance to break the cycle of destitution and abuse through mentoring, education and crisis intervention. Then Edan was killed, and everything she thought she understood about violence, loss and justice suddenly became very personal. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Jessica takes us inside her fight for change through her work with Sister to Sister, Warrior Women, and the NSW Serious Offenders Review Council. But that's not all. As you'll know if you're a regular listener of the podcast, Anthony Jones, the man who murdered Eden, has been released from prison. Subscribe to our new Youtube channel.
