When Australia’s most volatile moments unfold — a siege, a suicide attempt, a hostage situation, or a person in deep crisis — there’s one specialist quietly working to bring everyone home alive: the police negotiator.

In this gripping episode, Adam sits down with Leading Senior Constable Lee Wolahan, one of Victoria Police’s most experienced and respected negotiators. Across more than 800 critical incidents, Lee has faced people at the edge — physically, emotionally and psychologically — and helped guide them back to safety.

In this episode, Adam sits down with Australia’s most recognisable criminal psychologist, Tim Watson-Munro — a man who has spent nearly 50 years staring into the darkest corners of the human mind. From Parramatta Jail in the 1970s to some of the most notorious cases in Australian criminal history, Tim has assessed thousands of offenders, earning the trust of hardened criminals and the respect of courts and the public. But Tim’s story isn’t just about what he witnessed, it’s about what it cost him. At the height of his career, the weight of extreme violence, trauma and expectation began to take its toll.

Former Victoria Police detective Narelle Fraser spent 27 years confronting some of the darkest corners of humanity—homicide, sexual assault, missing persons. But no case has stayed with her more than the disappearance of Lorraine Joy (Yardley) Carter, a vulnerable young woman who vanished in 2002 and was never found.

In this episode, Narelle opens up to Adam about the emotional toll of policing, the weight of unsolved cases and the devastating impact of PTSI (post-traumatic stress injury) on her career and life. She revisits the investigation into Lorraine’s disappearance, the troubling behaviour of Lorraine’s husband Murray Carter and the heartbreaking reality that Lorraine’s parents died without ever knowing what happened to their daughter.
