Gary Jubilan is one of the country's 3 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:10,639 Speaker 2: most respected homicide detectives. Gary's worked across the Armed hold 4 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 2: Up Squad, Organized Crime Squad, Gangs Squad, Unsolved Homicide, Homicide Squad. 5 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 2: He retired in twenty nineteen. But Gary's got some great 6 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 2: podcasts out there, and he's got a new one called 7 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 2: Breaking Badness. It's available now on the Daily Telegraph website 8 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,479 Speaker 2: or wherever you get your good podcast from. And he 9 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 2: joins us. Now, thanks for coming in, Garret. 10 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 3: Gary, Well, thank you very much. 11 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 1: You know what's interesting, There's so much and so many 12 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: questions and topics we want to talk to you about. 13 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 1: When you talk about Breaking Badness. The first question, because 14 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: of the people you've dealt with and come across in 15 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: your career, can you and often you see these articles written, 16 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: can you see a consistent personality trait in some of 17 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:50,959 Speaker 1: the bad people you've come across? 18 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 3: There are quite often and like you, have different degrees 19 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 3: of badness. There's some people that there's no hope for, 20 00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 3: born bad and will be bad for the rest of 21 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 3: their life. But what I've found and I've been able 22 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 3: to since I've left the police, been able to look 23 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,279 Speaker 3: at it from a different perspective. And what I've found 24 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 3: is that the upbringing in the environment that people grew 25 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 3: up like a lot of people in prison, if you 26 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 3: grew up in that environment, well we'd probably all end 27 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 3: up there. So I think that plays a part. But 28 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 3: you know, I worked very closely with a forensic psychologist, 29 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 3: doctor Sarah Ull when I was in the police, and 30 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 3: she was always at pains to point out to me 31 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 3: just because someone does a bad thing doesn't necessarily make 32 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 3: them a bad person. And if you adopt that sort 33 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 3: of approach, I think you get a more realistic take 34 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 3: on the type of people that we see in the headlines. 35 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 3: They've done bad things, but what's the circumstances leading up 36 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 3: to it? Right? 37 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: Which chapter of. 38 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 4: Their life are they in? You know, what are the 39 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 4: things that are affecting them at that moment. 40 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, I know this. 41 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 4: Is going to sound like a very crazy question, but 42 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 4: in relation to the work you do and the crime 43 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 4: scenes you've been to and the cases you've been involved with, 44 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 4: is there kind of one particular area or one particular 45 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 4: genre of crime that you I'm trying to find a 46 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 4: better word than enjoy. But is there are there cases 47 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 4: where you think this is where I'm at my best, 48 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 4: or this is you know, I enjoy this the most. 49 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 3: And when you're talking about homicide, take the word exactly. 50 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 4: And that's why I'm struggling to ask the question, No 51 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 4: I what I And this sounds a bit like I've 52 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 4: become too numb to it where you say there's some 53 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 4: straightforward murders where it's like tracking an elephant through the snow. 54 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 3: You gave the crime soon and you go, Okay, well 55 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 3: we know what's happened here, stupid and you go lock 56 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,399 Speaker 3: the person up. What I found is that the more 57 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,239 Speaker 3: and I learned every day that I came to work, 58 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 3: the more experience I got. The challenge was the difficult ones. 59 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 3: So that's what inspired me, the ones that had been 60 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 3: written off, the ones that you weren't meant to solve, 61 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 3: that the skills that not just yourself but the team, 62 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 3: because it's always a team, team effort solving the murder. 63 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 3: That you can bring those skills to the table and 64 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 3: you actually make a difference. Say they're the ones that 65 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 3: inspired me, The gangland type killings like I did a 66 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 3: lot of the bikey type stuff. I still find motivation 67 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 3: on those ones. But when there's someone that's not because 68 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 3: of their lifestyle, nothing other than they are in the 69 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 3: wrong place at the wrong time of victims, you get 70 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 3: there's a lot to be inspired for and driven to 71 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 3: make sure you solve those type of investigations. 72 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 2: One of your most high profile cases is the William 73 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: Tyrell case, and you worked on that for quite a while. Gary, 74 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 2: I want to ask you. I know you can't talk 75 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 2: about it too much, but with your with your position, 76 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: there to be a lot of gut feel that you get. Gary, 77 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 2: You've got to go with your gut, and you you 78 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 2: would have seen you would have been so immuned over 79 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 2: the years and watching body language and watching things what 80 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 2: I want to I've always wanted to ask you this question, 81 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 2: deep down in your gut? Do you know what happened 82 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 2: to William Terrell? 83 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 3: I've got I led the investortigation for four years, so 84 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 3: I took it over after about four or five months 85 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 3: after WiM's disappearance. So to say I've got no idea 86 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 3: would be a bit concerning. I certainly I put it 87 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 3: this way. There's things when I'm looking at persons of interests, 88 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 3: let's call them persons of interests. Red flags that present themselves, 89 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 3: and the way you go through a homicide investigation is 90 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 3: just to eliminate, prioritize, and eliminate the suspects. One of 91 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 3: the time, I can't say definitively I know who's done 92 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 3: it because it's a matter that hasn't been before the court. 93 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 3: But I certainly had ideas on it when I was 94 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 3: taken off. And you know, we're beating around the bush. 95 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 3: I was taken off the investigation in controversial and dramatic circumstances. 96 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 3: It was overnight removed from the investigation. What concerned me 97 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 3: is that I thought I had the investigation pointed in 98 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 3: a healthy direction that we might have been able to 99 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 3: resolve it. I can't say definitively we would be able 100 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 3: to resolve it. Where the to all investigation's gone. Since 101 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 3: I've been taken off the investigation, I've spoken publicly about it. 102 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 3: I don't want to be critical because I haven't been 103 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 3: on the investigation since that time. I haven't had any involvement, 104 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 3: but I've seen some things that have really concerned me, 105 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 3: and the way it's been played out in public over 106 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 3: the past eighteen months and one suspect has been nominated 107 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 3: and the media have been briefed on certain developments on it. 108 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 3: I can't That does not sit comfortable with me. I 109 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 3: think we need to have this resolve. There's a lot 110 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 3: of speculation, there's a lot of rumor that comes from 111 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 3: information being released, and we need to need it resolved. 112 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 3: The thing that gets lost in the controversy about the 113 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 3: William Tyrel matter, and I say that I'm involved in 114 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,799 Speaker 3: the controversy, so it's not me standing from the outside, 115 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 3: is that what's forgotten is this young child has disappeared 116 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 3: and we still haven't got answers for it. And the police, 117 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 3: the New South Wales Police, should be judged by their actions. 118 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 3: And you know, if the way it's playing out, perhaps 119 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 3: there needs to be an inquiry about what's happened with 120 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 3: the investigation. But I'm still hopeful that answers will come out. 121 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 3: It's been before the coroner for years and years. Hopefully 122 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 3: the coroner comes back soon and gives it some direction. 123 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 3: And this investigation over every other investigation I've worked on, 124 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,799 Speaker 3: you sneeze and if it's to do with William Tyrell, 125 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 3: it's on the front page of the paper the lead's story. Why, 126 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 3: I think because people can relate to a three year 127 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 3: old child playing at his grandparents place and just disappearing. 128 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 3: That's a safe place. These type of things don't happen, 129 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 3: so I think. And then that iconic picture of William 130 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 3: in his Spider Man suit just shortly before he disappears, 131 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 3: So I think it resonates with all of us, So 132 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,559 Speaker 3: I understand the media's appetite to it. 133 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 2: The new podcast Breaking Badness, you're talking about Breaking Badness 134 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 2: and the prison system here in Australia. What is it working, Gary. 135 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 2: Do these guys go in and come out more hardened 136 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 2: criminals or is it doing the right thing at the moment. 137 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 3: Well, if you look at the recidivism rate in this statement, 138 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 3: like recidivism as in going the jail, come out and 139 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 3: end up back in jail. But since I've left the 140 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 3: police and doing the podcast and speaking to people from 141 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 3: a different perspective, I've started to learn that if you 142 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 3: treat people a certain way in prison, the likelihood is 143 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 3: when they come out they're going to reoffend. And I 144 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 3: spoke to some senior corrective services officers and they pointed 145 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 3: me to the direction of what they're doing at Macquarie 146 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 3: Correctional Center, which is a jail with a little bit 147 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 3: more innovative. They give the prisoners freedoms that they don't 148 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 3: get in the more traditional prisons, and they create a 149 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 3: social environment where the prisoners have got to get on. 150 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 3: They live in dorms. Now this is a maximum security prison. 151 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 3: When they first told me there's twenty five prisoners, they're 152 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 3: all living in a dorm. I thought the recipe for disaster. 153 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 3: But it works. And instead of resolving things in the 154 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 3: traditional prison way, which would end up in tears and 155 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 3: someone severely injured, if not dead, they mediate, They resolve 156 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 3: things and they discuss work, speak. 157 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 2: Get rewards, gary they get rewards if they do certain things. 158 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 3: They flipped it a little bit. They give them the 159 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 3: rewards when they come into the prison, and then they 160 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 3: take the rewards off if they misbehave. And there's a 161 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 3: policy of no violence, so if you're involved in conflict, 162 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 3: you're out. So you've got these hardened prisoners sitting down 163 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 3: and debating in the actual dorms. If they don't like someone, 164 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 3: they have a meeting and they virtually get vaded off. 165 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 3: It's like being vaded off Love Island's exactly the same. Look. 166 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 4: I see the merit in what you're talking about. But 167 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 4: because I absolutely you know, I agree when I'm sitting 168 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 4: here speaking with you. But then, of course there is 169 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 4: a whole part of the population sometimes people who have 170 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 4: been affected by acts of crime, and they think, well, 171 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 4: this person who did this to my family or my 172 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 4: son or my daughter. They don't deserve these things. But 173 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 4: I guess that's losing sight of what rehabilitation is meant 174 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:57,600 Speaker 4: to be about. 175 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 3: Well, Kate, your concern was my concern. When I was 176 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 3: invited into the prison, I thought, Okay, what's this is 177 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 3: the wallboon pulled over my eyes? Have I gone soft? 178 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 3: What's happened? And I wanted to get perspective from a victim, 179 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 3: so I spoke to Ken marslu. Ken Marslow's son was 180 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 3: killed in an armed robbery. He was shot by a 181 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 3: shotgun working at pizza Hut, nineteen years old. Now, if 182 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 3: anyone's got a right to be angry at people that 183 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 3: commit crime, it's Ken. That was a long time ago, 184 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 3: twenty years ago. Ken's changed his views and we're quite 185 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 3: close Ken and I and I got his opinion on that. 186 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 3: What because you want to get what would the public think? 187 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 3: Why are we shut soft on these His point was, 188 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 3: you're not going soft on crime. You've been smart on crime. 189 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 3: And if you reduce recidivism, as in reduced people committing 190 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 3: crime when they come out, that reduces victims. So that's 191 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 3: a smart play and that's what they're trying to do 192 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 3: at Macquarry. And I got to say, I think what 193 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 3: they're doing in there makes a lot of sense. I'd 194 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 3: prefer to be living next door to a prisoner that 195 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 3: came out of Macquarie correctional scene than live in someone 196 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 3: more traditional prison. 197 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 2: Gary, we could talk to you all day.
