Mr Cruel, Part 2 - a podcast by True Blue Crime

from 2020-08-17T07:00

:: ::

Mr Cruel was a child abductor, sexual predator, and presumed murderer, active in suburban Melbourne during the late eighties to early nineties. He has been quite accurately described as the bogeyman for children who grew up in the area at this time.

The crimes attributable to this unidentified offender are some of the most calculated, meticulous, and sickening we’ve ever seen here in Australia. But it’s what we don’t know, which is a lot, that makes this tale equal parts mysterious and downright frightening...

Join Shaun and Chloe in part 2 of this episode to discuss questions, theories, persons of interest and suspects.
