WEBVTT - Three Months After Her Wedding, Anthea Bradshaw Was Murdered 0:00:11.542 --> 0:00:16.182 You're listening to a MoMA Mia podcast. Mama Mia acknowledges 0:00:16.222 --> 0:00:19.702 the traditional owners of land and waterers. This podcast was 0:00:19.742 --> 0:00:29.102 recorded on it's nine point thirty PM on a Thursday 0:00:29.222 --> 0:00:32.822 night in July nineteen ninety four, and Martin and Roz 0:00:32.862 --> 0:00:34.942 have just settled in at home after closing up their 0:00:34.942 --> 0:00:39.742 news agency in suburban Adelaide. The phone rings. Ros answers 0:00:39.782 --> 0:00:43.662 and is immediately met by an agitated voice. It's Jeff, 0:00:44.222 --> 0:00:48.622 her daughter's husband of three months, and he's dead. He 0:00:48.702 --> 0:00:51.742 tells her. Don't you say that to me? Don't you 0:00:51.822 --> 0:00:55.182 say that to me? She replies. By the time Martin 0:00:55.302 --> 0:00:58.342 runs into the room, his wife is slumped on the 0:00:58.342 --> 0:01:02.422 floor in the fetal positions, screaming. He grabs the phone, 0:01:03.022 --> 0:01:07.262 but Jeff isn't making sense. The couple are in Brunei 0:01:07.422 --> 0:01:10.262 in Southeast Asia. They're in the process of moving over 0:01:10.262 --> 0:01:13.302 there for work, but Anthea was supposed to be coming 0:01:13.302 --> 0:01:15.662 home to Adelaide tomorrow to finish up work at a 0:01:15.662 --> 0:01:19.902 local school before making the move. Permanently killed in a 0:01:19.942 --> 0:01:23.982 burglary gone wrong, Her family is told they've given very 0:01:24.022 --> 0:01:27.862 little information about the circumstances surrounding her death. Forced to 0:01:27.902 --> 0:01:30.542 say goodbye to her in the same church she said 0:01:30.582 --> 0:01:34.342 her vows only a few months prior, but four years 0:01:34.382 --> 0:01:38.222 later they discover information from the night she died that 0:01:38.462 --> 0:01:42.582 rocks them to their core. All this time, the police 0:01:42.622 --> 0:01:46.342 had a name an official suspect in the murder of 0:01:46.422 --> 0:02:00.422 Anthea Bradshaw. I'm Jemma Bass and this is True Crime 0:02:00.462 --> 0:02:04.942 Conversations a Muma mea podcast exploring the world's most notorious 0:02:04.982 --> 0:02:07.862 crimes by speaking to the people who know the most 0:02:07.902 --> 0:02:10.982 about them. The body of twenty six year old Anthea 0:02:11.022 --> 0:02:13.422 Bradshaw was found on the floor of the apartment her 0:02:13.502 --> 0:02:17.222 husband Jeff Hall, was living in in Brunei. South Australian 0:02:17.262 --> 0:02:21.902 police believe there is enough evidence in this case to arrest, charge, 0:02:21.942 --> 0:02:27.302 and potentially convict someone, but Brunei doesn't agree, despite numerous 0:02:27.342 --> 0:02:31.302 attempts by our authorities to make that happen. In twenty 0:02:31.342 --> 0:02:35.382 twenty four nine, senior reporter Ben Avery has been reinvestigating 0:02:35.382 --> 0:02:38.342 this case and he's determined to help put her killer 0:02:38.462 --> 0:02:42.862 behind bars. He's spoken at length to Anthea's family, friends, 0:02:42.982 --> 0:02:45.862 and the Australian police involved in the case in a 0:02:45.902 --> 0:02:50.102 new podcast called The Anthea Bradshaw mystery, Ben joins us. 0:02:50.102 --> 0:03:03.422 Now, Ben, you've been looking back into Anthea Bradshaw's story, 0:03:03.862 --> 0:03:07.742 how has it felt talking to her friends and parents 0:03:07.782 --> 0:03:12.302 and brothers and really getting deep into her life. 0:03:12.742 --> 0:03:14.702 Yeah. I think it was about ten years ago that 0:03:14.902 --> 0:03:19.462 Craig Bradshaw, that's Anthea's eldest brother, contacted me in the 0:03:19.582 --> 0:03:23.542 nine News Adelaide news room and I was shocked at 0:03:23.542 --> 0:03:26.302 the time that I hadn't heard about this case. It 0:03:26.382 --> 0:03:30.502 was an innocent South Australian school teacher who went overseas 0:03:30.542 --> 0:03:34.462 to Brunei three months after her wedding and never came home, 0:03:35.022 --> 0:03:37.742 and there really hadn't been a lot of coverage about it. 0:03:37.782 --> 0:03:40.582 And I could tell in Craig's voice that a lot 0:03:40.622 --> 0:03:43.662 of years may have passed, but he was still deeply 0:03:43.782 --> 0:03:46.942 upset and frustrated by not only the fact that he'd 0:03:46.982 --> 0:03:50.942 lost his sister, but also justice hadn't been served in 0:03:50.982 --> 0:03:55.862 a case that seemed somewhat solvable. And so I got 0:03:55.902 --> 0:03:58.422 to know Craig quite well. I've got to know the 0:03:58.462 --> 0:04:01.502 rest of the family quite well, and it's very clear 0:04:01.542 --> 0:04:05.382 to me that they're consumed by this case and that 0:04:05.422 --> 0:04:10.062 they won't rest until it is solved. And so a 0:04:10.102 --> 0:04:12.342 lot of people will say to them, and they get 0:04:12.342 --> 0:04:15.102 frustrated by people saying to them that you should just 0:04:15.182 --> 0:04:17.702 move on, and they just say, look, we don't want 0:04:17.742 --> 0:04:20.902 to move on, and we can't move on. And so 0:04:21.022 --> 0:04:23.982 here we are, thirty years later, still talking about it, 0:04:24.382 --> 0:04:26.982 perhaps no closer to the answers that they need. 0:04:28.182 --> 0:04:31.342 This case was nineteen ninety four. Why do you think 0:04:31.382 --> 0:04:33.582 it didn't get as much media coverage back then? 0:04:34.262 --> 0:04:36.622 I guess back then things were a lot different. I 0:04:36.622 --> 0:04:38.542 feel like if it happened now, there would be a 0:04:38.542 --> 0:04:43.182 lot of coverage about it. Obviously, traveling overseas as a 0:04:43.262 --> 0:04:47.822 journalist perhaps didn't happen as often back then. Getting information 0:04:47.942 --> 0:04:51.782 from overseas was a lot more difficult too, Getting vision 0:04:52.022 --> 0:04:56.102 and pictures from overseas was tricky. And so I went 0:04:56.142 --> 0:04:58.382 through the archives here at Channel nine. I did find 0:04:58.422 --> 0:05:02.062 one story from nineteen ninety four that provided some information 0:05:02.102 --> 0:05:05.582 about what had happened. But obviously, these days, this is 0:05:05.622 --> 0:05:09.222 something that would be covered at length, day in day out, 0:05:09.262 --> 0:05:11.902 perhaps for a good couple of weeks, if not longer. 0:05:12.702 --> 0:05:16.862 And so a very unique situation here where a horrible 0:05:16.942 --> 0:05:21.422 murder of a much loved, innocent South Australia went almost 0:05:21.502 --> 0:05:23.102 unnoticed for a very long time. 0:05:23.942 --> 0:05:25.702 You said that Craig got in contact with you ten 0:05:25.782 --> 0:05:28.822 years ago. That's a long time to be sitting on 0:05:28.862 --> 0:05:30.342 this story, to be thinking about it. 0:05:30.782 --> 0:05:33.022 Yeah, And I mean I have done stories in those 0:05:33.062 --> 0:05:35.862 ten years from time to time. Obviously there's been quite 0:05:35.862 --> 0:05:39.742 a few developments since then, but nothing that has got 0:05:39.742 --> 0:05:42.502 them to the point that they want. For me, it's 0:05:42.502 --> 0:05:44.742 been a ten year journey, but for the Bradshaw's obviously 0:05:44.822 --> 0:05:46.902 it's been a thirty year journey. And he tells me 0:05:47.022 --> 0:05:50.022 how they got to ten years after the murder and thought, 0:05:50.182 --> 0:05:52.502 we can't believe that it's been ten years and there's 0:05:52.702 --> 0:05:56.102 still nothing. Surely we won't get to the point where 0:05:56.142 --> 0:05:58.462 it's twenty years and there's nothing. And then they get 0:05:58.502 --> 0:06:00.582 to twenty years and think, surely we won't have to 0:06:00.582 --> 0:06:04.702 go another ten years without getting the justice that we need. 0:06:04.742 --> 0:06:06.462 And now we're at the thirty year point and they 0:06:06.502 --> 0:06:09.262 can't even comprehend the fact that they're still living with 0:06:09.342 --> 0:06:13.502 this and that potentially another ten years will pass and 0:06:13.742 --> 0:06:14.622 will be still here. 0:06:15.942 --> 0:06:18.542 Can you take us back to Anthea's childhood. She had 0:06:18.582 --> 0:06:23.262 two brothers, two loving parents. How does her family describe her. 0:06:23.342 --> 0:06:25.382 What are their memories of her as a little girl 0:06:25.502 --> 0:06:26.302 and as a young woman. 0:06:27.022 --> 0:06:29.022 Yeah, so, her mum Rosalind says she was born in 0:06:29.062 --> 0:06:31.902 the Kapunda Hospital or a country hospital a few hours 0:06:31.902 --> 0:06:34.422 from Adelaide. She was the only baby in the birthing 0:06:34.462 --> 0:06:36.702 ward at the time and so she was immediately the 0:06:36.742 --> 0:06:39.382 center of attention and really that didn't change because she 0:06:39.542 --> 0:06:42.782 was the only daughter in the family. She was bubbly, 0:06:43.342 --> 0:06:46.502 she talked a lot, She liked to sing, and her 0:06:46.622 --> 0:06:49.222 mum has given me a cassette tape that she's never 0:06:49.262 --> 0:06:51.422 listened to. She can't bring herself to listen to it, 0:06:51.502 --> 0:06:55.942 but it's Anthea singing a song Morning Has Broken and 0:06:56.582 --> 0:07:00.502 such a sweet, innocent young voice, and we play that 0:07:00.582 --> 0:07:04.502 on the podcast. And then grew up being the middle child, 0:07:04.582 --> 0:07:07.902 so she was a big sister to her younger brother Paul, 0:07:07.982 --> 0:07:10.662 and Paul says that she really looked after him. She 0:07:10.742 --> 0:07:14.342 always loved children. She helped him a lot growing up 0:07:14.982 --> 0:07:18.102 and that developed, I guess into her growing up to 0:07:18.422 --> 0:07:20.902 ultimately wanting to be a teacher. Her mum was a 0:07:20.942 --> 0:07:23.142 registered nurse, so there was a period where she thought 0:07:23.142 --> 0:07:25.702 she might want to be a registered nurse, but there 0:07:25.782 --> 0:07:28.182 was her love of kids that took her into teaching, 0:07:28.422 --> 0:07:31.262 and she ended up working at a school for underprivileged 0:07:31.342 --> 0:07:34.262 children in murray Bridge, about an hour out of Adelaide. 0:07:34.502 --> 0:07:38.342 It was called the Fraser Park Primary School. And I'm 0:07:38.342 --> 0:07:41.222 told by her brother Craig that these were kids who 0:07:41.742 --> 0:07:44.502 didn't have much support at home for the most part, 0:07:44.582 --> 0:07:48.742 and so they wouldn't get birthday cakes on their birthdays. 0:07:48.742 --> 0:07:51.862 And so Anthea went right through the list of her children, 0:07:51.862 --> 0:07:54.422 found out when their birthdays were and would make a 0:07:54.462 --> 0:07:57.422 birthday cake for them on their birthday. And Craig got 0:07:57.462 --> 0:07:59.382 quite emotional when he told me that story, but it 0:07:59.462 --> 0:08:03.062 just really highlighted how caring she was and how she 0:08:03.102 --> 0:08:05.742 went to those extra lengths and did a lot for 0:08:05.782 --> 0:08:06.622 those children. 0:08:06.982 --> 0:08:10.062 She sounds like miss Honey, remember that childhood character. 0:08:10.502 --> 0:08:14.102 A beautiful soul, absolutely And if you look at photographs 0:08:14.102 --> 0:08:16.142 of Anthea, and I've been shown a lot of them 0:08:16.182 --> 0:08:20.062 and home videos, always smiling, and I've never heard anyone 0:08:20.102 --> 0:08:22.502 say a bad word about her. She was just this 0:08:22.622 --> 0:08:27.342 really gentle, friendly soul who seemed to get along with everyone. 0:08:27.542 --> 0:08:30.222 Her husband, the man she ended up marrying, they got 0:08:30.222 --> 0:08:33.142 together quite young didn't they can you talk us through 0:08:33.182 --> 0:08:34.062 their relationship. 0:08:34.862 --> 0:08:36.942 It was year ten at school though in the same 0:08:37.022 --> 0:08:39.822 year at Pembroke College, a private school here in the 0:08:39.862 --> 0:08:44.262 eastern suburbs of Adelaide, And it started out as a friendship, 0:08:44.342 --> 0:08:46.262 I'm told, or certainly they were telling people it was 0:08:46.302 --> 0:08:48.822 a friendship, and they spend a lot of time together. 0:08:49.022 --> 0:08:51.542 Jeff would be around at the Bradshaw family home a 0:08:51.582 --> 0:08:55.022 lot of the time, and he was welcomed with open arms. 0:08:55.142 --> 0:08:57.782 The brothers Craig and Paul got along with him really well. 0:08:57.942 --> 0:09:01.302 They became mates, the three of them, and it was 0:09:01.302 --> 0:09:05.182 a relationship that continued right through high school into obviously, 0:09:05.302 --> 0:09:09.062 you know, their late teenage years early twenties. And the 0:09:09.142 --> 0:09:13.862 family says that it was always a really good relationship 0:09:13.862 --> 0:09:16.342 that they got along well. They didn't see any signs 0:09:16.382 --> 0:09:20.302 of tension. Maybe the odd argument here and there, but 0:09:20.862 --> 0:09:23.142 definitely and if you look at the photographs and the 0:09:23.142 --> 0:09:25.662 home videos, to me, it just looked like he was 0:09:25.862 --> 0:09:29.382 really welcomed and he was part of that Bradshaw extended family. 0:09:30.502 --> 0:09:33.142 I guess that makes this case quite unique in that 0:09:33.222 --> 0:09:36.982 the family did know Jeff so intimately because he basically 0:09:37.022 --> 0:09:38.582 grew up alongside. 0:09:38.022 --> 0:09:41.902 Them absolutely, and they all make a point of saying 0:09:41.942 --> 0:09:45.662 that that this wasn't one of those situations where it's 0:09:46.102 --> 0:09:48.022 a son in law and a brother in law that 0:09:48.062 --> 0:09:49.982 sort of comes in and is a little bit on 0:09:50.022 --> 0:09:54.262 the outside. He was embraced totally, and the brothers say 0:09:54.262 --> 0:09:56.902 they can't even remember him coming into their lives. It's 0:09:56.942 --> 0:09:59.982 like he was just always there, almost an extension of 0:10:00.022 --> 0:10:04.502 the family. And that's what makes this case, I think 0:10:05.262 --> 0:10:08.982 so shocking, is to know some of the allegations and 0:10:09.022 --> 0:10:14.102 the suspicions and the fact now that there is this 0:10:14.222 --> 0:10:18.462 wedge between the Bradshaws and Jeff Hall all of these 0:10:18.542 --> 0:10:22.862 years later, and that's just a horrible thing to lose 0:10:23.382 --> 0:10:27.422 your sister or your daughter, but then also have that 0:10:27.902 --> 0:10:29.142 shadow in the background. 0:10:30.382 --> 0:10:34.302 So in their twenties, Jeff and Anthea kind of traveled 0:10:34.342 --> 0:10:37.662 the world together, did all of those early twenty backpacker 0:10:37.742 --> 0:10:40.022 kind of things. And then they got married in nineteen 0:10:40.062 --> 0:10:42.862 ninety four. What does her family remember of that day? 0:10:43.022 --> 0:10:44.902 Was it a great wedding day for the couple? 0:10:46.142 --> 0:10:48.622 Yeah, they find that hard to talk about now. And 0:10:48.662 --> 0:10:51.062 I have watched the wedding video and it did look 0:10:51.262 --> 0:10:55.622 like a beautiful day, a really typical Adelaide wedding Tusmore 0:10:55.622 --> 0:10:59.022 Park Uniting Church in the eastern suburbs of Adelaide. Anthea 0:10:59.142 --> 0:11:02.102 arrives in a ford falcon Saedan gets out of the 0:11:02.142 --> 0:11:05.662 car and her dad approaches and takes her by the arm. 0:11:05.742 --> 0:11:08.742 She has her two bridesmaids in front of her. They 0:11:08.782 --> 0:11:12.062 then walk into the church. You know, lots of smiling 0:11:12.182 --> 0:11:16.342 friends and family. Her brothers were there, all of Jeff's 0:11:16.382 --> 0:11:19.982 family were there. Anthea looked extremely happy, not a worry 0:11:20.022 --> 0:11:24.382 in the world, as she always did, and it just 0:11:24.462 --> 0:11:28.822 looked like your every day suburban wedding. I've also seen 0:11:28.902 --> 0:11:32.382 video of the reception, and a typical reception as well, 0:11:32.422 --> 0:11:35.142 lots of drinking and laughing. You see all of the speeches, 0:11:35.182 --> 0:11:39.382 really funny speeches. Lots of people spoke. Anthea's eldest brother 0:11:39.542 --> 0:11:41.582 was the MC for the wedding and he tells me 0:11:41.662 --> 0:11:43.302 that it was the best wedding he'd ever been to, 0:11:43.382 --> 0:11:46.502 and a few people have said that, and really difficult 0:11:46.542 --> 0:11:50.622 to watch that now knowing what would happen only ninety 0:11:50.662 --> 0:11:51.462 six days later. 0:11:51.622 --> 0:11:55.062 It was what were the plans for after the wedding? 0:11:55.142 --> 0:11:58.102 Because things happened quite quickly in that Jeff moved overseas 0:11:58.782 --> 0:12:00.702 and Anthea was trying to wrap things up. What was 0:12:00.742 --> 0:12:01.422 the plan there. 0:12:02.222 --> 0:12:04.542 They had done a lot of travel and then they 0:12:04.582 --> 0:12:08.662 get married and Jeff gets a job in Brunei, a 0:12:08.782 --> 0:12:12.622 country on the island of Borney, an oil rich country 0:12:12.822 --> 0:12:15.862 where there's a lot of money, and he gets a 0:12:15.902 --> 0:12:18.702 job as a radiographer at a medical clinic that was 0:12:18.742 --> 0:12:21.222 owned by the Brunei royal family at the time. It 0:12:21.262 --> 0:12:24.022 was quite a lucrative position in that it paid reasonably 0:12:24.062 --> 0:12:26.822 well and he was also put up in accommodation so 0:12:26.862 --> 0:12:29.582 he didn't need to pay for his apartment. So he 0:12:29.662 --> 0:12:33.822 went over there pretty soon after the wedding. Anthea, though, 0:12:34.022 --> 0:12:36.542 was going to stay at home because she was still 0:12:36.542 --> 0:12:39.742 teaching at the Fraser Park Primary School in murray Bridge, 0:12:39.902 --> 0:12:42.542 and so she wanted to finish that teaching contract before 0:12:42.582 --> 0:12:46.702 she would eventually move over to join him permanently. Now 0:12:47.702 --> 0:12:49.822 there was then a decision though, that she would go 0:12:49.862 --> 0:12:53.102 and visit in this period while Jeff was over there alone, 0:12:53.342 --> 0:12:56.102 and so she organized to go over to Brunei for 0:12:56.182 --> 0:13:00.182 ten days. She would obviously catch up with her husband 0:13:00.262 --> 0:13:04.262 and socialize with him and his workmates, and she would 0:13:04.342 --> 0:13:06.262 also want to look for jobs, so she would go 0:13:06.302 --> 0:13:09.342 and visit other schools in Brunei to see if she 0:13:09.342 --> 0:13:12.222 could organize a job for when she did move over permanently. 0:13:13.022 --> 0:13:15.262 And so her mum and dad recall taking her to 0:13:15.342 --> 0:13:18.662 the airport. She gets on the plane to fly over 0:13:18.742 --> 0:13:22.382 for this visit, sadly not knowing that she would never 0:13:22.462 --> 0:13:27.102 return home. And back then there were no mobile phones. 0:13:27.382 --> 0:13:32.142 Communication was more difficult. There was no Facebook or email, 0:13:32.302 --> 0:13:36.422 certainly not what they used anyway, and Anthea had told 0:13:36.502 --> 0:13:39.782 her mum and dad, look, don't ring me while I'm 0:13:39.782 --> 0:13:44.622 in Brunei because Jeff is worried about phone tapping. He 0:13:44.782 --> 0:13:49.902 was worried that Brunei authorities listened to phone calls and 0:13:49.982 --> 0:13:52.782 he told Anthea that before she went over as well, 0:13:52.822 --> 0:13:55.382 so she didn't have much contact with him either while 0:13:55.382 --> 0:13:59.262 he was there alone. And so Anthea's mum and dad 0:13:59.302 --> 0:14:01.782 took this on board, although they do tell me now 0:14:02.222 --> 0:14:05.902 that they would not have cared if Brunei authorities were 0:14:05.902 --> 0:14:07.902 listening to their phone calls, because they would just ring 0:14:07.942 --> 0:14:09.502 and say how are you going? Are you safe? 0:14:10.422 --> 0:14:14.142 It's not exactly controversial, not controversial. 0:14:13.502 --> 0:14:16.262 And that's something they think about a lot now about 0:14:16.822 --> 0:14:20.462 why Jeff was worried about that and what it meant 0:14:20.662 --> 0:14:23.702 was that Anthea had been there for nine days and 0:14:24.102 --> 0:14:28.022 they hadn't had any contact with her in any form. 0:14:28.902 --> 0:14:32.702 Then what happened to Anthea on July twenty one, nineteen 0:14:32.742 --> 0:14:34.502 ninety four, So this. 0:14:34.582 --> 0:14:37.102 Was the day before she was to go home back 0:14:37.102 --> 0:14:41.062 to South Australia. And I might tell you what happened 0:14:41.102 --> 0:14:44.302 from Jeff's perspective because I've seen his full witness statement 0:14:44.302 --> 0:14:45.942 and that can give us a bit of an idea 0:14:46.422 --> 0:14:49.782 into how he says the day unfolded. They'd been out 0:14:49.782 --> 0:14:52.862 for dinner the night before with some friends. They woke 0:14:52.942 --> 0:14:55.702 up reasonably early. They had to go and visit a 0:14:55.702 --> 0:14:58.982 school called the Jigsaw School, where Anthea was going to 0:14:59.022 --> 0:15:02.222 talk to the school about a potential teaching job. So 0:15:02.262 --> 0:15:05.422 they went there in the morning. They had that interview. 0:15:06.022 --> 0:15:10.342 They get back to the apartment complex at Geredong Park, 0:15:10.942 --> 0:15:13.902 which is not far from where Jeff works, at about 0:15:13.942 --> 0:15:17.622 eleven o'clock in the morning. Jeff has a shower, they 0:15:17.662 --> 0:15:19.902 have something to eat, both of them. Again, this is 0:15:19.942 --> 0:15:24.062 Jeff's story from his witness statement, and then his shift 0:15:24.182 --> 0:15:27.542 was beginning at the Geredong Park Sports Medicine Center at 0:15:27.662 --> 0:15:31.062 midday that day. He had a car there, a red 0:15:31.102 --> 0:15:35.662 Toyota Salika, and Anthea was going to drive him to work. 0:15:36.142 --> 0:15:38.862 And so shortly before midday they get in the car, 0:15:38.902 --> 0:15:42.062 they make the very short journey to Geredong Park Sports 0:15:42.142 --> 0:15:46.022 Medicine Center. Anthea drops Jeff off, he goes to work, 0:15:46.422 --> 0:15:49.702 she goes back to the apartment complex. Now, Jeff says 0:15:49.862 --> 0:15:53.342 that he was at work for all of that day 0:15:53.342 --> 0:15:57.422 in terms of from midday until five pm, and then 0:15:57.462 --> 0:15:59.862 he goes out for his dinner break, and the plan 0:16:00.062 --> 0:16:02.502 was that Anthea would come and pick him up from 0:16:02.502 --> 0:16:05.662 the medical center for that dinner break. So he's standing 0:16:05.742 --> 0:16:08.862 out the front of the medical center along with a 0:16:08.902 --> 0:16:10.822 few other people as they were either lead for the 0:16:10.902 --> 0:16:14.102 day or leaving for dinner, and he's waiting for Anthea. 0:16:14.222 --> 0:16:16.382 And I've spoken to lots of witnesses and I've seen 0:16:16.542 --> 0:16:19.582 lots of witness statements. People that saw Jeff standing there 0:16:19.662 --> 0:16:22.502 and they went to him and said, would you like 0:16:22.502 --> 0:16:24.182 a rite home, because a lot of them lived in 0:16:24.222 --> 0:16:27.982 the same apartment complex or nearby, and Jeff was repeatedly 0:16:28.022 --> 0:16:30.542 saying no, No, Anthea is coming to pick me up. 0:16:30.582 --> 0:16:33.222 She shouldn't be too long, and this happened, as I say, 0:16:33.262 --> 0:16:37.182 with several witnesses I've spoken to. However, as time went 0:16:37.262 --> 0:16:39.302 on and I think, you know, maybe ten to fifteen 0:16:39.302 --> 0:16:43.382 minutes past. Jeff then made a phone call to one 0:16:43.382 --> 0:16:46.222 of his colleagues, a woman named Peter, who lived in 0:16:46.222 --> 0:16:49.982 the apartment complex, and Peter said, yeah, look, the car 0:16:50.022 --> 0:16:54.502 is still here, so I will try and ring, and 0:16:54.542 --> 0:16:57.142 I think she made a phone call to the apartment complex. 0:16:57.262 --> 0:17:00.622 Nobody answered, so Peter went and picked up Jeff from 0:17:00.662 --> 0:17:05.142 the medical center. Then Peter says that Jeff was worried 0:17:05.182 --> 0:17:08.742 about where Anthea was, and they made a decision to 0:17:08.902 --> 0:17:12.222 drive around where she may have gone walking or running 0:17:12.262 --> 0:17:14.782 because she'd been doing that while she was in Brunei. 0:17:15.662 --> 0:17:18.182 There was no sign of Anthea, so a short time 0:17:18.262 --> 0:17:21.662 later they returned to the apartment complex. Peter and Jeff 0:17:21.662 --> 0:17:23.822 get out of the car. Peter says, she heads to 0:17:23.942 --> 0:17:27.902 her apartment and says, I'll see you again soon. Jeff 0:17:27.982 --> 0:17:31.062 goes to his apartment, which is on the third floor. 0:17:31.742 --> 0:17:34.942 He opens the door and Anthea is in a pool 0:17:34.982 --> 0:17:38.782 of blood and it is clear that her body's cold 0:17:39.342 --> 0:17:43.222 and that she's dead, and he screams out to Peter, 0:17:43.302 --> 0:17:48.142 because Peter's a nurse. Peter comes up sadly. It's clear 0:17:48.182 --> 0:17:51.822 that there's nothing anyone can do by that point, and 0:17:51.942 --> 0:17:55.382 really that's where this mystery begins. 0:17:55.822 --> 0:17:58.342 Because she'd been quite brutally murdered, hadn't she. 0:17:59.542 --> 0:18:02.222 So the post mortem would find that she had been 0:18:02.262 --> 0:18:05.742 strangled to death, and then after she was already dead, 0:18:06.542 --> 0:18:10.662 she was stabbed multiple times, and it has never been 0:18:10.702 --> 0:18:16.022 explained why the killer stabbed her lifeless body. 0:18:16.422 --> 0:18:19.862 Was there any other evidence in the apartment in the room, 0:18:19.942 --> 0:18:21.182 was there anything else out of place? 0:18:22.302 --> 0:18:25.102 Some furniture had been displaced in the bedroom, so the 0:18:25.142 --> 0:18:28.422 bed that Anthea and Jeff slept in had been moved, 0:18:28.942 --> 0:18:31.422 and a chair in that room had also been knocked over. 0:18:31.622 --> 0:18:34.422 Now that has been explained by Jeff very early on 0:18:34.502 --> 0:18:37.342 in his original witness statement. He says when he found 0:18:37.342 --> 0:18:40.982 his wife's body, he went into the bedroom and kicked 0:18:40.982 --> 0:18:44.462 the bed and kicked the chair out of frustration. So 0:18:44.502 --> 0:18:48.622 that's how he explains that. There are also photographs that 0:18:48.662 --> 0:18:53.302 show a bloodstained knife, which was presumably the murder weapon, 0:18:53.782 --> 0:18:56.902 near the front door, so the killer had discarded the 0:18:56.942 --> 0:18:59.662 knife right near the front door on the way out 0:19:00.062 --> 0:19:02.622 is what we can take out of that. Another thing 0:19:02.662 --> 0:19:05.182 to note about that knife is that people I've spoken 0:19:05.222 --> 0:19:09.262 to from the other apartments say it appears to be 0:19:09.822 --> 0:19:13.902 the standard issue knife for all of the apartments, which 0:19:13.902 --> 0:19:17.502 indicates that perhaps, and this hasn't been confirmed, that perhaps 0:19:17.542 --> 0:19:21.702 that knife came from Jeff's kitchen. There was also an 0:19:21.702 --> 0:19:24.222 ironing board out, and there was a business shirt draped 0:19:24.262 --> 0:19:27.582 over the ironing board. The iron was plugged in and 0:19:27.622 --> 0:19:32.222 it was still switched on, so it appeared that someone 0:19:32.302 --> 0:19:35.102 had been ironing a shirt and for whatever reason, stopped 0:19:35.102 --> 0:19:39.142 abruptly there. I guess the key pieces of evidence from 0:19:39.542 --> 0:19:43.782 inside the apartment. Piecing it all together is difficult. I 0:19:43.822 --> 0:19:45.742 guess it can tell a story whatever way you look 0:19:45.782 --> 0:19:48.702 at it, but this would form part of that initial 0:19:48.942 --> 0:19:50.462 Brunei police investigation. 0:19:51.302 --> 0:19:54.542 How did the Bradshaws find out about this all happening? 0:19:55.582 --> 0:19:58.302 So it was a Thursday evening, Adelaide time, nine point 0:19:58.302 --> 0:20:01.342 thirty pm on the twenty first of July nineteen ninety four. 0:20:02.102 --> 0:20:04.942 The Bradshaws owned a news agency in the eastern suburbs 0:20:04.982 --> 0:20:08.582 of Adelaide. They just got home from late night shopping 0:20:09.022 --> 0:20:11.622 and Martin Bradshaw had got on upstairs to watch the 0:20:11.742 --> 0:20:15.182 Channel nine AFL football show. That's how he remembers the time, 0:20:15.302 --> 0:20:17.742 because he said that the show was just starting and 0:20:17.782 --> 0:20:20.782 the phone rang and he said he could hear Roz 0:20:20.862 --> 0:20:24.462 answering the phone. Roz says that she picked up the 0:20:24.542 --> 0:20:27.862 phone and it was Jeff and he didn't say hello, 0:20:28.222 --> 0:20:32.062 he just said and he's dead. And she doesn't remember 0:20:32.142 --> 0:20:34.702 much from that point apart from saying, don't say that 0:20:34.782 --> 0:20:37.902 to me. Don't say that to me. Martin says he 0:20:37.902 --> 0:20:40.422 heard this commotion, he went downstairs and by this point 0:20:40.502 --> 0:20:44.102 Roz was curled up in the fetal position. He took 0:20:44.142 --> 0:20:47.422 the phone, and he says that Jeff was that hysterical 0:20:47.502 --> 0:20:49.942 he could barely understand what he was saying. So he 0:20:50.022 --> 0:20:53.062 was asking for someone else to take over the phone call, 0:20:53.182 --> 0:20:55.862 you know, put someone else on the phone, and eventually, 0:20:55.942 --> 0:20:58.062 and he doesn't know who it was, but eventually someone 0:20:58.182 --> 0:21:02.582 told him that his daughter had been murdered. And then 0:21:03.382 --> 0:21:06.902 he says, Martin says that he thought that he was 0:21:06.942 --> 0:21:09.182 the calm one in the room, rose obviously in the 0:21:09.182 --> 0:21:12.622 fetal position, but he looked down and realized that he 0:21:12.702 --> 0:21:16.542 had urinated in his trousers after hearing that news. 0:21:17.942 --> 0:21:20.382 What about the brothers, You've spoken to them about finding 0:21:20.382 --> 0:21:22.822 out as well, And they also had their own stories. 0:21:23.622 --> 0:21:27.782 Craig Bradshaw was living in a sharehouse. He was working 0:21:27.982 --> 0:21:31.542 in radio on commercial radio, and that evening he had 0:21:31.582 --> 0:21:33.542 to go to bed early because he had an early 0:21:33.582 --> 0:21:36.502 start the next day. His friends had all gone to 0:21:36.542 --> 0:21:38.542 the pub. The people that he was living with went 0:21:38.622 --> 0:21:41.422 to the pub. But then at around nine point thirty 0:21:41.502 --> 0:21:44.422 or a little bit after, one of his friends came 0:21:44.462 --> 0:21:48.102 and woke him up in the bedroom and said, Craig, 0:21:48.222 --> 0:21:51.262 you need to go home. Presumably he had somehow found 0:21:51.302 --> 0:21:55.062 out from Martin and Ross Craig's parents, and Craig hopped 0:21:55.062 --> 0:21:56.662 in his car. He didn't know what was going on. 0:21:56.702 --> 0:21:59.742 His friend didn't tell him, and so he had that 0:21:59.982 --> 0:22:02.902 painful drive to his mum and dad's house, and he 0:22:02.942 --> 0:22:06.182 said the moment he arrived, he approached the front door 0:22:06.262 --> 0:22:10.262 and he could hear his mum howling, absolutely howling inside 0:22:10.262 --> 0:22:15.342 the house. And went in and again he was given 0:22:15.342 --> 0:22:18.262 a phone and it was Jeff, and Jeff said that 0:22:18.622 --> 0:22:22.302 Annie had been murdered, and Craig then had to try 0:22:22.342 --> 0:22:24.622 and get his head around that, and obviously couldn't get 0:22:24.742 --> 0:22:28.102 his head around that, because why would anyone murder her? 0:22:28.102 --> 0:22:30.782 It was a relatively safe country. She'd been there for 0:22:30.862 --> 0:22:33.262 nine days, she didn't know anyone apart from Jeff and 0:22:33.302 --> 0:22:36.302 perhaps some of his other colleagues who she would have 0:22:36.342 --> 0:22:40.102 only just been introduced to, So almost an impossible thing 0:22:40.142 --> 0:22:44.382 to fathom for Craig Bradshaw. And he says that he 0:22:44.422 --> 0:22:46.942 then tried to get hold of his other brother, Paul, 0:22:47.982 --> 0:22:50.702 and he was out at the pub that night, and obviously, 0:22:50.742 --> 0:22:53.022
