S2 E17: Ivan Milat (The Backpack Killer)

Gewd Mourn! We can thank Jason for this terrible tale, so this brew is for you! This week we discuss a family divided by their own brother's awful decisions. When there is such a long history of red flags without proper intervention, there is a lot to unpack. This episode sparked some comprehensive conversation that we are excited to share with you separately. We can't wait to hear what you think, so tune in next week for that!
