I Catch Killers with Gary Jubelin

In this episode of I Catch Killers, Gary Jubelin sits down with Kerry Tucker, former prisoner turned prison reform advocate to track her extraordinary 20-year redemption.
Inside, Kerry became known as the "jail lawyer."
She kept daily diaries, completed a Master of Arts through Swinburne University (the first Australian university graduation ever held inside a prison), wrote a children's book for incarcerated mothers that's still in circulation today, and began writing parole letters for other women, going from almost no women getting parole to 38 at her lowest count.
She spent her final 6 months working in a law firm in Werribee, left prison on a Friday and was lecturing at university on the Monday, went on to complete a PhD, and has spent two decades advocating for prison reform, education and fraud awareness.
That work was formally recognised in November 2022, when the Magistrates' Court of Victoria spent and removed her criminal and prison record with the endorsement of the Victorian Chief Commissioner of Police, the Attorney General of Victoria, the Assistant Commissioner of Corrections and the Chief Magistrate.

When suburban mum Kerry Tucker decided she should start hitting the gym, she didn’t expect to be arrested a month later. For more than six years, Kerry had stolen two million dollars from her employer.
In this episode, Kerry takes us inside the first 24 hours inside a women’s maximum security prison as a ‘cleanskin’, where she was locked up with some of Australia’s most infamous female criminals.

In this second part of I Catch Killers, Gary and Rojé delve deep into the chilling psyche of Katherine Knight—the only woman in Australia sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
What drives a person to commit the unthinkable? They explore the gruesome crime scene that shocked even the most veteran homicide detectives, the calculation behind the skinning and butchering of John Price, and the psychological "triggers" that Katherine used to justify her actions.
Gary and Rojé break down the terrifying final 24 hours of John Price's life, the warning signs that were missed, and the "nature vs. nurture" debate surrounding Knight’s fraternal twin sister. This is a gritty look into a real-life horror story and the long-term impact such extreme cases have on the detectives and communities left in their wake.

What Katherine Knight did to her partner John Price wasn't just murder, it was something far more twisted. Katherine was a woman consumed by two things: a crippling fear of abandonment, and an insatiable need for control, enforced through violence, manipulation, and sexual exploitation. Most Australians know the horror of how John Price died. What they don't know is the decades-long history of abuse Katherine inflicted on the men in her life, and anyone else she deemed an obstacle. Which raises an uncomfortable question, if a man had done to women what Katherine did to men, would he have been stopped years earlier?
In this episode of I Catch Killers, Gary Jubelin is joined by Rojé Augustin, whose new book The Butcher of Aberdeen, delves into Katherine’s chilling past shaped by childhood trauma, violent relationships, and a relentless descent into madness.
Rojé Augustin is the author of The Butcher of Aberdeen: An Australian Story of Sex, Madness, and Murder.

Veteran journalist and author Neil Mercer returns to I Catch Killers for part two of his confronting examination of wrongful convictions in the Australian justice system.
In this episode, Neil and Gary Jubelin revisit one of the most embarrassing periods in NSW Police history: the case of Harry Blackburn, a former police superintendent publicly branded a serial rapist and paraded before the media before he was ever formally charged. They unravel the extraordinary chain of failures that led to his very public downfall, a saga that only ended when a Royal Commission finally exposed the truth.
They also unpack DNA evidence, long considered the gold standard in forensic science, and just how far from infallible it can be, and the broader, systemic issues that allow innocent people to be wrongly convicted: unreliable eyewitness identification, the historical use of "police verbals" and false confessions, inadequate legal representation, and the unique challenges faced by First Nations Australians navigating a justice system not built with their language or culture in mind.
Neil Mercer is the author of Falsely Convicted: True Stories of Injustice in Australia.
