An investigative podcast hosted by ABC journalist Rachael Brown, Trace examines the fractures in Australia's criminal justice system, and the decades-long ripples they have caused.
Series 1 reviews the 1 cold case murder of Maria James who was stabbed in her Melbourne bookshop in 1980. The questions raised by this podcast helped spark a fresh coronial inquest, due in September 2021.
Series 2 tells the story of defence barrister Nicola Gobbo who represented some of Australia's most dangerous criminals, all the while secretly working as a police informer. She tells her story for the first time; why she became an informer, and what happened when her double life was exposed to the world.
