153. The Millionaire Bondage Murder

153. The Millionaire Bondage Murder

Author: Tara Sariban and Barney Black May 11, 2020 Duration: 52:26

When Multi Millionaire Peter Shellard met Shirley Withers it was love at first sight, then it was sexy bondage, then embezzment and bank fraud, then it was murder most foul bound with dog leads, ropes and an electrical cord with the added sparkle of an anal suppostory.


The bizzarre murder of wealthly ecentric Peter Shellard is a sideshow of carnivaleque characters, a plethora of possible enemies, phone taps and a hitman, eventually revealing a sad trail of greed, hubris and vengeance.

Hosted by Tara Sariban and Barney Black, Bloody Murder-A True Crime Podcast digs into the darker corners of history, focusing on crimes that haven't been covered to exhaustion elsewhere. This award-nominated show explores lesser-known cases from Australia and across the globe, offering detailed narratives that are often overlooked. What sets this podcast apart is its unique tone-a blend of deep research and unexpected comedy that arises naturally from the hosts' dynamic and their own perspective as dedicated true crime fans. The humour is careful and considered, never mocking the victims or the gravity of the events discussed. Instead, it's the odd tangent, the personal reaction, or the absurdity surrounding a case that provides a moment of levity, making the exploration of difficult topics more engaging. Listeners will find a conversation that feels like joining two friends who are equally fascinated and critical, dissecting the how and why while treating the subject with respect. Each episode aims to add a fresh voice to the genre, prioritizing stories that are compelling precisely because they aren't the ones you've already heard a dozen times. It’s this commitment to uncovering obscure tales, paired with a genuinely distinctive rapport between the hosts, that defines the experience of this particular true crime podcast.
