About this episode

The episode discusses the Bain Family Massacre, a controversial murder case in New Zealand involving David Bain, who reported his family's murder and was later charged with the crime.

On June 20, 1994, emergency services in Dunedin New Zealand received a call from 22 year old David Bain reporting that his entire family had been shot dead inside their home. Within days, he went from the sole survivor to being charged with five counts of murder, setting off a case built on conflicting timelines, contested forensic evidence, and two completely different explanations of what happened. What unfolded next would become one of New Zealand’s most debated murder cases, one where the truth still feels just out of reach to this day.
