Australian Story turns its attention to a WA cold case -the murder of Perth brothel madam Shirley Finn in 1975.
This episode is introduced by Terry Willesee.
We go behind the scenes at the inquest into one of Australia’s most chilling cold cases, the 1975 murder of Perth brothel madam Shirley Finn
From the outset, rumours of police and political involvement swirled around the case, many believing that Shirley Finn was silenced when she threatened to reveal the secrets of powerful figures in Western Australia.
When we last visited the story, Shirley Finn’s daughter Bridget Shewring and author Juliet Wills had succeeded in obtaining a coronial inquest after a decade-long battle.
Tonight we follow the two women through the twists and turns of the inquiry as they grapple with new allegations of police and political corruption and we hear from crucial witnesses, fronting the cameras for the first time.
8pm Monday October 7 on ABC.

Would have made a good ‘Underbelly’ series but I suppose it’s too Perth a story.
