A "real life monster" from Australia's Great Depression

During the Great Depression, 32% of working age men were put out of work, with many of them resorting to drunken and violent lifestyles.   During this time, there was a significant spike in Australia's murder rate, with many so called "monsters" being birthed from the era.   Michael Adams from the "Forgotten Australia" podcast, joins us to tell us the story of one of those "monsters", William Moxley.   Michael Adams' new book "The Murder Squad", which covers this case and many others from Australia's great depression, is available on the 25th of July.
