Unsolved The Disappearance of Mum Bronwyn Winfield - NSW * Hedley Thomas podcast

And where the media outlet offers to pay witnesses/insiders for their evidence/allegations/info in exchange for exclusivity?

You have evidence of that?

We should be happy someone is reporting it. It won't get solved otherwise.

Harvey Norman sponsors the podcasts. His previous podcasts have had impressive results, especially the Chris Dawson case. And the Shandee Blackburn case is ongoing. He brings to light cases that police and relatives of victims have given up on. People start talking, and remembering. The Australian may pay HT for exclusivity but why not? More publicity for getting the cases attention. If it wasn't the Australian, it would be another paper, probably.

You're probably dreaming if you think that many key witnesses currently talking to, and providing evidence/allegations to the Murdoch media, are going to want to talk to and/or provide evidence/allegations to multiple media outlets on the same crime cases.

They’re talking to Hedley Thomas, after the police gave up. When and if there’s a case to be made the police will be in a position to refer the matter to higher authorities. They are investigating but so far there’s a lot of hearsay rather than hard evidence. Finding the body would be necessary.

It’s like the Samantha Murphy case, the police are not disclosing anything even though they have a suspect. Again, finding the body is vital to the case.

Thomas made the deal with the Oz. He has a copyright to his podcast I imagine. Maybe he should have made it freely available to all news outlets. Maybe others weren’t interested.

No mate.
They were/are just not resourced to follow up on all the historical crimes and cold cases out there that need investigating.
