Helen Thomas in conversation with Hannah Robertson

Join us at Kingston Library as we get into the nitty gritty with Helen herself on Melbourne’s most notorious cold case…

A gripping account of Melbourne’s unsolved Easey Street murders, now updated with new interviews and insights. Summer in Melbourne, 1977. Two young women are viciously murdered. The killer has never been found. Forty-five years ago, Suzanne Armstrong and Susan Bartlett were fatally stabbed in their home on Easey Street, Collingwood, while Suzanne’s toddler slept in his cot.

Their murder remains one of the most infamous unsolved cold cases in Australia. Helen Thomas was a young journalist at The Age when the murders were committed and saw how deeply they affected the city. More than four decades later, she’s still looking at the case – chasing down new leads and talking, again, to the women’s families, friends and neighbours. What emerges is a portrait of a crime rife with ambiguities and contradictions, which took place at a fascinating time in the city’s history, in one of its most notorious suburbs
