The murder of Betty Shanks has haunted Brisbane for decades. After 72 years, it still remains unsolved

Welcome to Ontario Cold Cases - Canada’s True Crime Podcast, the podcast where we delve into some of the world’s most perplexing mysteries, unsolved crimes, and haunting cold cases.

The murder of Betty Shanks has cast a haunting shadow over Brisbane for more than seven decades. Even after 72 years, her tragic death remains an unsolved mystery, chilling those who hear her story.

It was a mild spring evening on September 19, 1952, when two piercing screams shattered the quiet of Brisbane’s inner-north suburb of Grange. An off-duty police officer, Constable Alex Stewart, along with other residents, heard the cries but dismissed them as the antics of teenagers. No one ventured into the dark to investigate.

By sunrise, those screams would become the prelude to one of Queensland's most infamous unsolved murders. While on his morning rounds, Constable Stewart stumbled upon a horrifying scene just metres from his own home: the battered body of 22-year-old Betty Shanks lay in a neighbour’s garden, her bloodstained tram ticket still clutched in her hand.
