James and Deborah had only known one another for a few months, and at first Pat had been a little apprehensive about letting the pair take off together on a backpacking trip for a week where they’d be with a lot of strangers and hitchhiking rides on the highway…but Deborah was almost 20 years old. Pat was relieved to hear this news from her daughter and honestly just relieved in general that Deborah was keeping good on her promise to check in with her mom every two days either over the phone or by sending post cards. They were headed South and would be taking the next week or so to travel to a music festival in the town of Albury, which was sort of right in between Sydney and Melbourne. So, to ease any worries her mom might have had, Deborah wanted to let Pat know she and James were nowhere near New Castle. The day before Deborah called Pat, a devastating earthquake had rocked the city of Newcastle, which sat just North of Sydney. She explained that she and James had just checked out of their hotel in Sydney and would be returning home to Melbourne from their backpacking trip in a few days. On the other end of the line was her 19-year-old daughter Deborah.ĭeborah had called to let her mom know that she and her boyfriend, 19-year-old James Gibson, were okay. On December 29 th, 1989, Pat Everist was at her home in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia when her phone rang. A lot of visitors check it out just for a day or two.īack in the early 90’s one man visited every day and wasn’t taking in the beautiful sights of the towering pine trees…he was busy burying bodies…at least seven of them and authorities now believe, possibly more. The park itself is roughly 9,400 acres and you can camp, hike, go off-roading or mountain bike there. It’s easy to get turned around if you don’t know where you’re going. The forest is predominantly filled with pine trees and is regularly logged, leaving sections filled with downed timber that just sort of stacks up on one another. It actually sits about an hour and a half southwest of Sydney, just off well-known Hume Highway. When I first started researching Belanglo State Forest, I expected it to be in a desolate area of New South Wales but it’s not. The victims were innocent young people backpacking and exploring the beautiful landscapes of Southern Australia.
#Park predators podcast series
It’s about a series of crimes that spanned several years in Australia’s Belanglo State Forest…a stretch of bush and wilderness where seven murders occurred in the early 1990’s. Don’t worry though, I’ll return with new episodes.īefore I took the time away, I KNEW I needed to tell you today’s wild story… There’s one more episode next week, but after that I’ll be taking a break for a few months. Also I’m sure it’s just an ad/gimmick or whatever, but I hate how the ads and stuff talk about how PP is great to listen to on a hike or smth.Can you believe we’re nearing the end of Season 3 already? I hope the stories I’ve shared with you this summer have honored the victims while at the same time reminding us how dangerous the elements AND people lurking in the great outdoors can be. Also this might be nitpicky but in one episode (the Hawaii one) DD is talking about this guy who was really well liked in town and says he gained “notoriety” and I’m sorry but how do you mess up that word? It literally means well known for a bad reason!! A reporter should know this and everyone at Audiochuck needs an editor. Another issue I have is it just sounds like Ashley Flowers’ other shows with a lot of her similar dialogue/so it doesn’t feel as original to me. Okay I actually cannot stand Park Predators 😭 for one, Crime Junkie Hater here, and PP is an Audiochuck podcast.
