About this episode
The episode discusses the ongoing case of missing jogger Samantha Murphy and features insights from Ballarat reporter Laura Mayers.
We’ve been getting a lot of emails asking if we’re going to cover the case Samantha Murphy, the Ballarat jogger who went missing on the morning of February 4, 2024. Ballarat reporter Laura Mayers joins the pod to explain the story up to here, and where the proceedings stand. We also let you in on a few other big cases we have on our radar, heading to court later in the year. If you have any questions, you’d like Laura and Stocky to answer in future episodes, please email thecaseof@abc.net.au . The Case Of is the follow-up to the hit podcast Mushroom Case Daily, and all episodes of that show will remain available in the back catalogue of The Case Of.
