Shandee's Legacy Episode 18: Unfinished Business
Episode 18
Wednesday, 3 December, 2025

It's been four years since Hedley, Dr Kirsty Wright and Vicki and Shannah Blackburn first Zoomed in late 2021 about the forensic testing anomalies in Shandee's case. In the final episode of Shandee's Legacy for now, the podcast’s focus turns to the future and a bid to solve Shandee's case. Hedley and Karina look into the status of Shandee's crime scene samples and those from other historical cases as Queensland’s Attorney-General Deb Frecklington pledges they will be re-tested. The senior lawyer in a defamation case brought by Shandee's former boyfriend over an episode of the podcast unpacks the high-stakes legal contest so far - and the potential for a full-blown trial.
