Description

Please note: this series contains mature themes and graphic imagery; and listener discretion is advised.

How far would you go to clear the name of the man convicted of your son’s death? 

Red blood stains the red soil of the Australian Northern Territory in this true crime Audible Original Podcast, Blood Territory.

Less than 250,000 people live in the Northern Territory, an area more than twice the size of Texas. If you want to escape from civilisation, you don’t have to go far. But you can’t outrun the heat. Every year during October and November the sweltering climate can drive people wild; they call it ‘Suicide Season’, ‘Mango Madness’ or, more plainly, ‘The Build-up’.

It’s during this blistering heat that Jim O’Connell’s body is found in a creek bed, mummified and with his genitals removed. But when a dubious plea deal buries the truth and puts Jim’s best mate, Philip Mather, behind bars for the crime, the victim’s parents seek to unravel it themselves to prove Philip’s innocence. 

Follow journalist Mark Whittaker’s journey into the murky heart of the Northern Territory as allegations of police corruption and judicial racism emerge and a shadowy figure known as The Vigilante lurks on the fringe of the investigation.

fairly decent but no real resolution

I really enjoyed this but was hoping there'd be some sort of resolution in the end but there wasn't.

This was a tough one

Excellently done, like a real-life Agatha Christie story.
I really felt for the producers in the last episode. Kudos for their dedication to Jimmy through the incredibly murky waters of this case.

Not what I thought

Didn’t make it past episode 4. A bit too slow and boring for me. Not one I would recommend.

really good

I comtinue to be impressed by Audible's "true crime" podcasts. I very much enjoy the serialized format and the length of each episode.
The investigation by the author was logical and easy to follow along with. The performance by narrators was excellent.

Unfortunate Ending

With the surge in popularity for true crime audio formats (and I'm just as guilty as the next of indulging in a fascination with darker stories), one has to wonder where the line is crossed into exploitative. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but I have to say I'm not sure there was any point or benefit to this poor family to have what was obviously so traumatic an experience dragged out, reshashed, painful wounds and memories re-opened, and for what? It feels like Amazon was just throwing money at trying to be the next "Serial" or the like, and neither Mark nor Audible/Amazon seems to have put much thought into the real world impact that this sort of search for fame and entertainment might have on the very real people this impacted. At the end, I felt so immensely sorry for the family, both for their tragic loss, and for being exploited the way I felt they were by this whole production. Mark gets to close the chapter on this with ease, fly back to his comfortable home in the big city and forget, while never seeming to really acknowledge how much peace he's cost the family in the end. Sad stuff.

Very interesting case

Well-presented and explored case. It’s terribly unfortunate circumstances that befell the victim and the strength of the parent’s conviction is compelling. I commend the amount of time and travel the journalist put into this case and I believe that the unexplored angles are necessary to finding the truth of this horrible offence. Overall, an engrossing story which leaves the listener wanting to know more.

Tough Listen

this one was hard to listen to. I love the Aussie accent but I struggled with understanding quite a few of the ppl in this particular podcast. As a result, I wasn't as emotionally invested as I normally get. Add to that that we came full circle without any real conclusion nd overall, I was disappointed.

good listen but....

While it started out as a good listen. I don't feel like it ended the way it should have. There are still many questions and people who needed to be interviewed and heard from 'on the record'. I understand it is difficult to interview people when they refuse but that ,in my opinion, would be the only way to peice together this puzzle. Collin, Brock and Officer X all needed to be heard from first hand.....but the journalist did the best he could with what he could! Maybe they will follow up on this series who knows.
