Albufeira: Diogo Goncalves

05/29/21 • 29 min
At the start of 2020, the world was facing something truly unique, horrific, frightening and unexpected. The news coverage was relentless and almost entirely focussed on Covid-19. There was no time or interest in covering anything else. Crimes that would have ordinarily made it onto national or international news channels just didn’t get a look in.
The appetite for healthcare information was unprecedented as people tried to allay their fears. It meant that almost everyone missed this grisly crime which has been overlooked throughout the world.

New Orleans: Fernando Rios
*** The language in this episode may be triggering from some listeners. The derogatory homophobic words that appeared in my research are the words that I have used as I feel these highlight the bigoted views at the time of this crime. No offence is intended by using these words. ***
In September 1958, a tour guide from Mexico called Fernando Rios was visiting New Orleans where he was leading a group of tourists around the city. At the end of a long day, he got dressed up for a night out. At the same time, three young men were planning their night out too.
This is Fernando’s story.

Sydney: Bondi Beach Murders
You might think that a string of murders of gay men in Sydney in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, which may have had almost 90 victims, would have received international news coverage. You might think that this would warrant international condemnation ... but it didn’t. In fact, so little attention was paid to these crimes that the police barely even investigated them.
