The Rake, the Jacuzzi, and the Man Who Swore He Didn't Kill

The Rake, the Jacuzzi, and the Man Who Swore He Didn't Kill A suburban backyard hid a bloodied rake for thirteen days and a warm Jacuzzi still running when police found three siblings dead on April 22, 2003 - and the man who discovered them told the emergency operator there were three bodies before anyone could have seen the one hidden under a pillow. Who knew what that morning, and when did they know it? In this episode, we tell the sequence of events in the Think family home in Brisbane and the surrounding facts that puzzled investigators, ending on the single unresolved question that drives the story: how could the caller have known about the body that was completely concealed?
