Looking for Arnie: A Viral Search Turned Criminal Case

When beloved German Shepherd Arnie was reported stolen, the story captured the hearts of thousands across Australia. A viral search effort, media appeals, and a $6,000 reward followed- until a devastating discovery changed everything.

Now police allege the dog was ever stolen at all. Accusations of neglect, a late night visit to a Brisbane brothel, and a rapidly unfolding investigation have turned a missing pet plea into one of the most bizarre cases of the year.

In this episode Wayne is joined by reporter Tita Smith to unpack accusations surrounding Nathan McKeown and the night Arnie disappeared.
