In case you haven't seen it yet, please tune into our latest episode. It may seem like a final episode, but the door is always ajar. You can never close it completely https://omny.fm/shows/shot-in-the-dark/14-into-the-light Thank you Sue for being you. You've moved the proverbial mountains. It takes an extraordinary amount of will, passion, determination, courage and humility to achieve what you have. You're a role model for a better society, where all lives, and deaths, are equal.

"They always tell someone". That's what Former homicide detective Ron Iddles told Sue Cole; that killers always tell at least one person what they've done. Sue issues an emotional plea for that person to come forward and say what they know about the man she believes murdered her sister, Gwen Grover....

Raising Awareness: DFV

From Gwen's sister Sue Cole: May is Domestic and Family Violence (DFV) prevention month.
DFV affects people across all backgrounds. While many victims show incredible strength in escaping abuse, for some, like Gwen, the attempt ends in tragedy. An estimated 80% of women do not report DFV, and countless more suffer in silence.
The Red Rose Foundation’s Red Bench initiative places red benches in public spaces as a visible reminder of the ongoing crisis of domestic and family violence (DFV) in Australia.
A red bench now stands on Lake Street in Cairns, near the site where Gwen was tragically found dead in her car in 1983. It honours her memory and symbolises the many lives lost to DFV—a silent epidemic that continues to claim a woman’s life every four days.
We must all take action to end DFV—by raising awareness, rejecting victim-blaming, and urging our legal systems to respond with courage and justice. As Martin Luther King Jr. said, “To ignore evil is to become an accomplice to it.”
Although the 2024 court ruling overturned the original finding in Gwen’s case, the fight for a full inquiry continues. The Queensland Coroner now has a chance to right this wrong.

It’s wonderful to see Hidden Homicide victims finally getting the recognition they deserve. It’s just sad that it’s taken this long and in some cases the culprits aren’t brought to justice. Thanks Yolonde for supporting fierce family members like Sue who never give up fighting for the truth. RIP Gwen Grover
