This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.
Pat Boyle APM is a 47 year veteran of Victoria Police, who spent a large part of his career working as a Detective Inspector and Detective Superintendent with a focus on gang related crime.
He's also carved out a career for himself in academia, publishing a master's thesis entitled "What is a Street Gang?" It turns out the answer to that question is much more complicated that I imagined.

In episode #336 of Australian True Crime, we spoke to Lily Greer, whose mother, Tina Greer, disappeared from her beachfront home in the Gold Coast Hinterland in 2012.
After we published that episode, the Brisbane Coroner held an inquest into Tina's death. The coroner found that Tina Greer had been the victim of domestic violence at the hands of her partner, Les Sharman, and that he ultimately took her life.
Sharman, a member of the Finks Motorcycle Club, died in a car accident in 2018. Lily joins us again to talk about the inquest and its effect on her life.
