What lies beneath
Rachelle Childs has been dead five years when new evidence leads authorities to exhume and re-examine her body. Her family consents, but otherwise the exhumation remains secret until a key POI is informed that, while he answers questions at Rachelle's inquest, her body lies in the morgue beneath that very courtroom. The inquest is explosive. Nine persons of interest are scrutinised, and her body is exhumed to help answer some vital questions. Was there ever a Walkinshaw? What happened to Rachelle in those missing nine hours after she left work? Who started the rumour about bikies cutting Rachelle's fingers off? The inquest ran for two years but concluded with an open finding. Dear Rachelle is hosted and investigated by journalist Ashlea Hansen, who teams up with retired detective and renowned cold case specialist Damian Loone, and Rachelle's sister Kristy. Dear Rachelle is a podcast by True Crime Australia. You're hearing this episode three weeks early with your News Corp Australia subscription.
