The Family Court Murders: An Unusual Killer (S1EP2 ABC TV Tues 17 May 2022)
A shark-bitten body is discovered floating on the surface of Cowan Creek in Sydney’s north in 1980. Stephen Blanchard is quickly identified as the young man. Andrea Blanchard believes her brother’s murder was committed by only one person: her ex-husband Leonard Warwick. But in 2020, the court finds Warwick not guilty for his former brother-in-law’s murder, making Stephen’s death an unsolved homicide. Debi reinvestigates the case with the help of FBI-trained criminal profiler Kris Illingsworth after Andrea and her sister Judy receive no justice.
The Parramatta Court building is bombed in the dead of night in 1984, adding to the chaos. There are no casualties, but the judiciary is once again shaken.
When Justice Ray Watson takes over Andrea and Warwick’s custody battle, he becomes the next target of the Family Court Killer. A bomb is planted in front of the Watsons’ Greenwich apartment in 1985. Pearl Watson, Justice Watson’s wife, is killed instantly when she opens the door in the morning.
A dedicated Police taskforce is established to catch the perpetrators of these crimes.
