Banquet: The Untold Story of Adelaide's Family Murders

released 31/08/21

Only one suspect has been charged and convicted for The Family Murders of Adelaide, the City of Corpses. Award-winning investigative journalist, Debi Marshall, interrogates these long cold cases.

In this definitive expose, Walkley-award winning journalist Debi Marshall turns her investigative blowtorch to the shocking Adelaide Family murders and to secrets long hidden in the City of Corpses.

This chilling account begins with the liberalisation of South Australia under the premiership of Don Dunstan and demands answers to decades-old questions. Who were the Family killers? Why are suppression orders still protecting suspects four decades later? Why do some of these serial killings remain unsolved? Only one suspect, Bevan Spencer Von Einem, has been charged and convicted.

With her combination of investigative skills and sensitivity, Marshall treads a harrowing path to find the truth, including confronting Von Einem in prison, pursuing sexual predators in Australia and overseas, taking a deep-dive into the murky world of paedophiles, challenging police and judiciary, and talking to victims and their families. The outcome is shocking and tragic.

Following broadcast of the Foxtel television and podcast series Debi Marshall Investigates Frozen Lies, numerous people came forward to courageously share new information with Marshall. Their stories are here. Banquet takes aim at the public service, wealthy professionals and the judiciary and for the first time reveals hitherto unpublished details of the Family. And it demands a Royal Commission to break the silence that keeps the truth hidden.

Haven’t listened yet! But there’s this

the Colin Manock story is weird..

and not sure what Bob O'Brien would think about her saying there's no other books on the topic

that interview Bits does make it sound more like you said a companion to the series and podcast

Hopefully they put the interview up again, because it has vanished….

wasn't heaps in it to be honest

but she told a story that Colin Manock told her he heard of a boy being drowned in the swimming pool of a QC in the hills to "wash the lipstick off of him"

Eeeeeeuuuuuwwwwwwww
