About the episode

Anne Zappelli was a young woman from country Western Australia. The beauty queen and Miss Australia Quest contestant was raped and murdered in September 1969, aged just 20. Police bungled the investigation and the case was never solved. A chilling deathbed confession that pointed the finger at the suspect was also useless. How did police get it so wrong?This story originally aired in 2012. Both prime suspects have since died.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
