CHADWICK, PETER: True Crime Recaps 2022 -
At 5.31 a.m. on Thursday, October 11th 2012 Peter Chadwick called 9-1-1 … This is the case of the millionaire fugitive. True Crime Recaps: Millionaire Fugitive Kidnaps His Wife? Peter Chadwick Case, Youtube 12.13, 2022
Plates and food were still on the kitchen counter like someone had left in a hurry; the office safe was open and empty; and in the master bathroom the scene turned even more grim: a glass vase was broken on the edge of the tub and on the bathroom wall were very faint drops of blood. ibid.
9-1-1 call: ‘… My wife’s dead … They took her … The guy broke into my house. He drove me here. He had a friend. They’re just gone. They’ve gone in the pickup truck … They killed her yesterday …’ ibid.
His story fell apart pretty fast, especially when they got a look at the scratches and bite-marks on his body. ibid.

The following is a true story that gripped the world. In August 1980 Lindy, Michael and their 3 children were on a camping holiday at Uluru (Ayres Rock) in Australia.
