Luke shares the terrifying experience of working in shark-infested waters and explains why the "touch and feel" of a recovery operation never truly leaves you. They explore the professionalism required to operate in high-stakes environments and the emotional toll of a career spent finding what no one else wants to find. In this episode: The reality of body recovery in zero-visibility environments. The dangers of diving with Great White sharks. The intense selection process and resilience required to be a police diver. The lifelong impact of "deep, dark, and dirty" operations. Subscribe to our new Youtube channel.

Loved ones of missing people are desperate for answers, and unfortunately there are people more than happy to exploit their despair for their own gain. In part two of her conversation with Gary Jubelin, missing persons advocate and author Nicole Morris calls out clairvoyants and psychics, exposing the very real trauma caused by false hope. The pair discuss why all missing persons should be treated as homicides until proven otherwise, how dangerous assumptions made early in an investigation can derail justice and leave families without answers for years, and call for better resourcing and a national approach to missing persons investigations.

Every single day, around 130 Australians on average are reported missing. For the families left behind, there are no funerals, no closure, and no answers, just an unbearable silence where a person used to be. Nicole Morris has spent over two decades refusing to let that silence win. As the founder and director of the Australian Missing Persons Register, Nicole has supported countless families through the devastating trauma of unexplained disappearance. For more than two decades, she has earned the trust of law enforcement agencies and government bodies across Australia and internationally through her relentless commitment to ensuring the missing are never forgotten. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Gary and Nicole break down the human cost of disappearance, what it truly means to live with an "ambiguous loss", and share the stories of families whose lives have been irrevocably changed by unanswered questions. Gary and Nicole also take a hard look at the system. Why does the first response to a missing persons report matter so much? What goes wrong when cases aren't treated with urgency? And why does the dangerous myth that you must wait 24 hours before reporting someone missing continue to cost precious time?

Less than 10% of reported sexual assaults result in a conviction in Australia. So, what does it actually take to bring a rapist to justice? In part 2 of former police officer and survivor Caroline Clarke’s chat with Gary Jubelin, we find out exactly that. In this episode, Caroline details the aftermath of being sexually assaulted by a massage therapist - from the agonising decision to report, to becoming an active force in her case recording a confession that police called "the best they’d ever heard". Caroline also unpacks one of the most misunderstood reactions in trauma - the freeze response, a survival mechanism hardwired into all of us. Yet it still continues to be used against survivors in courtrooms, in conversations, and in their own heads. Caroline breaks down why it happens, how it works, and why the shame so many survivors carry about it is not only unfair, it's wrong. Subscribe to our new Youtube channel.

Caroline Clarke spent nearly a decade as a police officer on the rough streets of West Yorkshire chasing down criminals, working the drugs squad, and stepping into homes torn apart by domestic violence. But nothing in her training prepared her for what happened when she became a victim-survivor herself. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Caroline opens up about growing up in a home where love and violence lived side by side, the silence she inherited from her mother, and the sexual assault that left her questioning why her body froze when she thought she would fight. Caroline breaks down the freeze response, a trauma reaction still misunderstood by police, juries, and the public, and explains why survivors are so often blamed instead of believed. Caroline is now the founder of the No More Silence movement, dedicated to helping survivors break their silence and shift the shame back to where it belongs. Subscribe to our new Youtube channel.

UFC heavyweight Brando Peričić returns for part two on I Catch Killers, opening up about the darkness he carries into the cage, witnessing a horrific car crash where he performed CPR on a dying man, living out of his car by choice even as his career takes off, and the role his faith plays in controlling his ego. Brando and Gary get candid about depression, imposter syndrome, his complicated relationship with his father, and Brando's relentless pursuit of becoming the first Australian UFC heavyweight champion.

At six foot five and 118 kilos, Brando Peričić is one of the most physically imposing heavyweights in the UFC. But behind the fighter is a story most people never see, a story of an absent father, childhood bullying, depression, suicidal thoughts, and a young man who had every reason to fail, yet refused to. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Gary sits down with the Adelaide-born UFC heavyweight in a raw, honest, and deeply personal conversation that goes well beyond the octagon. Brando opens up about growing up in a Croatian household with a single mother working two jobs, a father who went to prison, and a childhood marked by anger, confusion, and pain he didn't know how to carry. From getting expelled in year 10 and working Adelaide's roughest pub doors, where he was stabbed, bottled, and coward punched, to sleeping in the gym while chasing a dream everyone told him was impossible, Brando's journey is as brutal as it is inspiring.

In part two of this conversation, former SAS soldier and Survivor winner Mark Wales returns to I Catch Killers for a raw and honest discussion. Mark opens up about surviving childhood sexual abuse and the difficult decision to pursue justice decades later, the mental toll of war and elite military service, and how he rebuilt his life through business school, boxing, reality TV, and writing. Gary and Mark also dig into some big-picture issues: the case for national service, escalating global conflicts in the Middle East, Russia-Ukraine and the Indo-Pacific, the changing face of modern warfare, and the rise of extremism in the social media age.

Mark Wales joined the military as a wide-eyed 17-year-old recruit, and quickly rose through the ranks, eventually leading one of Australia's most elite special forces troops in some of the most dangerous combat environments on earth. He saw the war in Afghanistan evolve from targeted counter-terrorism into something far more complicated, and ultimately, far less certain. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Mark opens up about what it takes to earn a place in the SAS, the psychological toll of repeated deployments, and how he watched the Afghan war slowly lose its sense of purpose from the inside. Mark speaks candidly about kill lists, mission creep, the counterinsurgency strategies that were doomed before they started, and the moment he knew the war was effectively over… long before the politicians admitted it. Gary and Mark also tackle the recent war crimes allegations, the complex environment that shaped those events, the chain of command responsibility that rarely gets discussed, and why, no matter how it unfolds, almost nobody comes out of this saga looking good.

What does it really take to break the cycle of crime? In Part 2 of this conversation, Gary sits down with Lincoln Tarrow-Lynch, a man caught up in crime since he was a kid, who’d spent years dealing drugs, battling ice addiction, and surviving on the fringes of society, to uncover what finally turned his life around. Lincoln opens up about his first adult prison sentence, losing his mother while behind bars, and walking out of jail with nothing but a plastic bag and no support network. He shares how Rainbow Lodge, a post-release residential program in Sydney, gave him the soft landing he needed, and why without it, he's certain he'd have gone straight back into jail.

What happens when the system meant to protect a child chooses to punish them instead? Lincoln Tarrow-Lynch's earliest memory is watching his father being arrested. By five, his mother was in prison. By twelve, he was committing petty crime, living on the streets, and being abused by adults, yet the system kept sending him back to the danger it knew was there. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Gary sits down with Lincoln to trace the fault lines of a childhood shaped by neglect, abuse, and a justice system that criminalised a child who simply needed care. Lincoln's story challenges everything we think we know about youth crime. This episode contains references to child sex abuse and suicide.

Gaz Wright picks up where the war stories ended in part one of his chat with Gary on I Catch Killers. In this episode, they get into the story that really matters - how one man crawled out of a back bedroom in a shot-up trap house, white-knuckled his way through heroin withdrawal, and rebuilt himself from nothing into one of Australia's most unlikely voices for change. With nothing but the clothes on his back and his Staffy, Bonnie, Gaz boarded a one-way flight to Cairns and started over. He handed in his first-ever résumé at a bottle shop, filmed it on a mate's suggestion, and watched it go viral, a moment that would change everything. What followed was the birth of Hope Cartel, and a social media following of over one million people, built on radical honesty and hard earned redemption.

The criminal underworld is a grubby place, it welcomes anyone willing to make bad choices. And Gaz Wright made plenty of them. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Gary sits down with Gaz, a former gang leader, drug dealer, and serious violent offender from Melbourne’s western suburbs, who served almost a decade in prison, and who once called the police on himself hoping they’d shoot him dead. Then, the karma he'd accumulated finally caught up with him in the most brutal way possible. Still, Gaz found a way forward. Subscribe to our new Youtube channel.
