I Catch Killers with Gary Jubelin

After 16 months on bail waiting to be sentenced, Natascha Consigli was given 15 months with no parole. She tells Gary what her first night locked up was really like and how prison changed her. From getting a black eye from her cellmate and refusing to press charges, to realising at 52 how much privilege she'd had compared to the young women inside with her, this is an honest conversation about accountability, rehabilitation and what actually stops reoffending. Natascha now works with Success Works helping women with criminal records find meaningful employment because it costs $180K to jail a woman in Australia and a fraction of that to rebuild her life through a job.

Raised nomadically across India, France, Italy and Spain, Natascha Consigli's childhood ended abruptly at age 10, when her mother was killed in a head-on collision with a truck. What followed was a life lived at the extremes — from air hostess to stripper to prison for her involvement in a multi million dollar drug operation. This is a raw, unflinching account of addiction, survival, and the long road to accountability. Natascha talks about quitting ice overnight, meeting her drug-dealing partner in rehab, why bikie clubhouses felt like the safest place to work as a stripper, and how prison forced her to confront her own privilege. In this episode: Losing her mum at 10 and raised across the world — how childhood shaped her choices From air hostess to stripping — money, power and danger in the clubs Ice addiction, rehab and the relationship that led to drug dealing Prison life, shame, privilege and taking full responsibility Redemption, advocacy and rebuilding after release See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rosslyn McQueen was 30 years old, 22 weeks pregnant, and found dead on a kitchen chair in her rural Victoria home in April 1986. No police investigation was conducted at the scene. Her death was written off as natural causes. Three months later, toxicology came back. She had died from a fatal dose of strychnine. Gary Jubelin sits down with solicitor turned citizen sleuth Karina Berger, the researcher behind The Poisoned Wife with investigative journalist Hedley Thomas to walk through how a case collapses when the first 48 hours are lost, and how investigative podcasting is now dragging it back into the light. In this Episode: Why the GP's refusal to issue a death certificate triggered the autopsy that cracked the cause of death What a coronial inquest found in 1987 — and why the trial that followed was discontinued The husband's claims about Rosslyn’s health, and what the records actually showed How former private investigator Rex Bakes ended up sending Hedley Thomas a padlocked suitcase of documents What new information the podcast has already generated, and what a police reinvestigation would take You can watch I Catch Killers on Youtube here.

In this episode: • Why Karina left law to hunt the truth in cold cases • Inside the research behind The Poisoned Wife investigation • How podcasts are forcing the system to revisit unsolved deaths • What it really takes to turn boxes of files into evidence You can watch I Catch Killers on Youtube here.

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.
