For 10 Years Paul Has Been Hunting His Daughter's Killer

For 10 Years Paul Has Been Hunting His Daughter's Killer

Author: Mamamia Podcasts September 23, 2026 Duration: 1:04:48

Melbourne woman Elly Warren was a seasoned traveller, despite only being 20 years old. 

In 2016, she travelled to Mozambique, Africa, on a month long trip volunteering in marine conservation. Just days before she was due to return to Australia, Elly's body was found at Tofo beach. 

The circumstances around her death have never made sense, but after getting limited help from both Australian and Mozambique authorities, Elly's dad Paul has taken it upon himself to investigate and hunt for a killer. 

Over the past ten years he has spent countless hours discovering new evidence, inconsistencies in official reports and forensic findings. 

In this episode of True Crime Conversations, Paul talks Gemma Bath through Elly's final moments, the evidence that points to homicide, and his heartbreak as he still, all these years later, fights for justice for his little girl.

Gemma Bath hosts True Crime Conversations, a podcast from Mamamia Podcasts that delves into infamous criminal cases from Australia and around the world. Rather than just recounting facts, each episode is built around a direct conversation with someone who has a unique, often personal connection to the story. You might hear from a detective who worked the case, a journalist who covered the trial, a family member seeking answers, or a forensic expert who examined the evidence. This approach brings a tangible, human dimension to stories that can sometimes feel distant or sensationalised. The tone is engaging and thoughtful, focusing on the nuances and the people affected, rather than just the shock value. It’s for anyone who appreciates a deeper, more conversational entry into the true crime genre, where the emphasis is on understanding the ‘why’ and the ‘how’ from those who were actually there. Listening to this podcast feels like being part of a serious, yet accessible, discussion about some of the most compelling and complex crimes in recent history.
