Manage episode 454743472 series 3447160
In this episode of The Compendium, we dive into imfamous The Shark Arm Murder, one of Australia’s most bizarre and unsolved mysteries. When a tiger shark at Coogee Aquarium vomited up a human arm in 1935, it set off a true crime saga involving forgery, blackmail, and a deadly underworld rivalry. Today we explore the story of Jimmy Smith, Patrick Brady, and Reginald Holmes, and how their tangled lives shocked Sydney. Was the shark merely a witness, or did it hold the key to solving the crime? Tune in for this incredible blend of historical crime and wild twists.
