The Science of Murder
On 60 Minutes this Sunday, Nick McKenzie reports on new scientific evidence raises serious questions in the case of Robert Farquharson.
The Science of Murder
What are we to do when science reveals information we don't really want to know? Block our ears and look away, or confront it? This is the challenge in the case of Robert Farquharson, one of Australia's most despised criminals. On Father's Day 2005, supposedly in an act of revenge against his ex-wife, he drowned their three young sons. The little boys, aged 10, seven and two, were passengers in their father's car when he drove it into a dam. At two trials, Farquharson was convicted of murder for his crimes and sentenced to life in prison. But now, as Nick McKenzie reports, new scientific evidence raises serious questions about what really happened. This joint 60 Minutes, The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald investigation however does not advocate for Farquharson's freedom, rather it presents fresh expert analysis of facts that weren't adequately canvassed at Farquharson's trials, and asks if the new information is sufficiently important to consider further judicial review of the case.

Beyond Skinwalker Ranch
Skinwalker Ranch is now widely considered to be ground zero for UAP activity and high strangeness. Since 2020, Dr. Travis Taylor along with Erik Bard and their investigative team have been working around the clock to collect, analyze and decode as much data as possible associated with the phenomenon occurring at the site. Their experiments have yielded amazing results, but not enough to fully unlock the secret of the ranch. So, for the first time ever they have decided to expand their search for answers. In an effort to gain a broader perspective and build larger data sets, the Skinwalker team is adding two team members and taking the offensive by pursuing evidence of similar phenomena found at analogous sites around the country. No longer content to sit, waiting to be targeted…it's time to go Beyond Skinwalker.
