Murder Calls

Herman Rockefeller was a multi-millionaire and an outstanding citizen. So when he disappeared after a business trip, his family and the police were puzzled. That is, until a series of phone calls uncovered a seedy double life that had turned deadly.

When Kelly Hodge's body was found discarded on the side of the road, it led to one of Victoria Police's most frustrating cases. Countless suspects were dismissed but, just when it seemed like the real killer would get away, one phone call changed everything.

As a young man, Richard Leonard was taught how to cut the ears off little kittens by his grandmother. When he grew up, he would find that killing a person was no different: there was no emotion or empathy involved.

They say love can make people do crazy things. In far north Queensland, Damon Calanca, unable to cope with a break up, killed his ex-girlfriend's brother, Gabe Meyer. He nearly got away with murder until a phone call tripped him up. 

In a case of money for murder, Peter Shellard was found by his girlfriend in their mansion in the Melbourne suburb of Caulfield North. He was battered and bound in what appeared to be a bondage session gone wrong, but a phone call to the police would point to someone who had a motive for murder.

An erstwhile doctor, Jean Eric Gassy's hatred for his victim and former boss, Margaret Tobin, had reached such an extreme that he concocted a near-perfect plan of murderous revenge. He had meticulously researched and studiously planned every detail of the murder, but one phone call would be enough to unravel his plans and bring him to justice.
