    The Suspicious Death of Jason Rigby in Fiji

    When Australian hotel manager Jason Rigby was found dead in his staff apartment at a luxury resort in Fiji on 14 December 2024, authorities initially ruled his death a suicide.

    Jason’s family have never accepted that explanation, and have spent the past two years fighting for answers. Today, Jason’s sister-in-law Jess Rigby joins us to tell his story, and to talk about her upcoming memoir, While the Baby Slept.

    The Bank Robber Who Lived in a Treehouse - ATC International

    In the 1990s, Steven Meyers was an accomplice to his friend Scott Scurlock, better known as the “Hollywood Bandit”, who carried out a remarkable series of bank robberies across Seattle using elaborate disguises and meticulous planning to evade police.

    Scurlock stole millions of dollars and lived an extraordinary double life from a three-storey treehouse outside Olympia.

    Steven was there for much of it, and today he joins us to talk about their friendship, how their bank-robbing operation actually worked, and what happened when their extraordinary double life finally came crashing down.
