In this chilling episode of Exhuming the Truth, we revisit one of Australia’s most infamous serial murder cases — the Snowtown “bodies in the barrels” killings. At just 19 years old, James Vlassakis became a key accomplice to stepfather and ringleader John Bunting. Now, after serving over two decades behind bars, he’s been granted parole.
What does justice look like when one of the most disturbing crimes in Australian history resurfaces in the public eye? Should someone involved in torturing and murdering multiple victims ever walk free?
Join me as I unpack the case, the court’s decision, and what it means for the families of victims and the public at large.
