Episode 18: Maria Scott

Kate

Coming soon

Hi there, and welcome to another episode of Whispering Softly! Today, we explore the tragic and haunting case of 27-year-old Maria Scott. Maria lived a difficult life, battling substance abuse and working as a sex worker in Port Kembla, New South Wales. She was last seen in late February 2003, and for months, her whereabouts remained a mystery. Then, in October of that same year, her body was discovered in remote bushland near Robertson. It was immediately clear ... Maria had been brutally murdered.

With an eight-month delay, investigators faced an uphill battle. Maria lived on the fringes of society, largely unseen, and her case quickly went cold. No witnesses. No strong leads. No justice.

For four years, the case remained stagnant—until an unexpected breakthrough. Renowned psychic medium Debbie Malone was brought in to assist, and her visions led investigators to a crucial piece of evidence: the murder weapon, hidden all this time.

But how did Malone’s insights change the course of the investigation? And could they finally bring Maria’s killer to justice? Stay with us as we uncover the chilling details of this case, the twists that led detectives back to a familiar suspect, and the role the paranormal may have played in solving a long-cold mystery - Podcast Link
