On the 1st March, 1989 82 year old Gwendolin Mitchellhill is found dead at the entry to her Mosman, NSW, apartment building, the supposed victim of a horrific fall. Only a few weeks later, 84 year old Lady Ashton is found dead in the garbage bin area of her apartment building, having supposedly suffered the same fate as Gwendolin. Then another elderly lady is found dead, and another.....and it is very clear that police aren't dealing with muggings gone wrong. They are dealing with a serial killer and one who is targeting our most vulnerable - elderly women in the community.

Join Belinda over a cuppa or two as she dives into the case of the man dubbed 'The Granny Killer' by media and the man who was right under police noses...until he wasn't.
