Not Another Crime Podcast

What if one of Australia's most notorious serial predators was living an ordinary life, hiding in plain sight, and nobody ever knew who he really was? Known only as Mr Cruel, this unidentified offender abducted and sexually assaulted young girls across Melbourne between 1987 and 1991, leaving a city terrified and investigators searching for answers. More than three decades later, the murder of 13-year-old Karmein Chan remains unsolved, and the identity of the man behind the crimes is still one of Australia's most chilling mysteries.

In January 2022, Boston police officer John O’Keefe was found dying in the snow outside the home of fellow officer Brian Albert, and his girlfriend, Karen Read, was accused of hitting him with her SUV and leaving him to die. What followed was a sensational murder case involving disputed forensic evidence, a suspicious Google search, allegations of a police cover-up and explosive messages from the lead investigator, Michael Proctor. After two trials, Karen was acquitted of murder and manslaughter in June 2025, but convicted of operating under the influence, leaving one haunting question unanswered: what really happened to John O’Keefe? The story starts at 9.00. Note: in the original episode uploaded I mistakenly said 2002 instead of 2022. What a dimwit!
