A new investigative podcast will explore the 37-year-old double homicide cold case of Catherine Holmes and Georgina Watmore and the culture of Cowra in the 1980s.

It's a cold case that has cast a shadow over Cowra for nearly four decades and is back in the spotlight with the launch of 'Jindalee', an investigative podcast that not only delves into the unsolved double homicide of Catherine Holmes and Georgina Watmore but also offers a unique retrospective on the culture and social dynamics of the town in the 1980s.

The case, which remains unsolved after 37 years, occurred on the early morning hours of 15 April 1987, forever altering the small community.

Hosted by former local Vangie McKay and produced by The Media Collective, Jindalee re-examines the events of that fateful day, while also exploring how the attitudes, politics, policing and culture of 1980s Cowra shaped the investigation and community response.

The six-part series explores the town as it was in the 80s and details the nature of the crimes that occurred on Jindalee Circuit.

“The crime was not only devastating to Catherine and Georgina’s families and loved ones – as you’ll hear as the episodes are released - it also impacted me and my immediate family," said host Vangie McKay, who travelled to Cowra last week as part of the investigation.

"The series hopes to dispel rumours that have surrounded this case and to solve this crime bringing justice to the victim’s families and to the community of Cowra. I grew up in Cowra in the 80s,” said Vangie.

“The way people viewed crime, policing, and even their neighbours was influenced by the culture of the time, and that had a significant impact on this investigation. By revisiting both the case and the town’s mindset, we hope to uncover clues that may have been overlooked and will enable the investigation to move forward," Ms McKay said.

The first episode of Jindalee will be available in December and the podcast's producers encourage anyone with information about the case, or memories of the town from that time, to get in touch by emailing jindaleepodcast@gmail.com or writing to PO BOX 535 Double Bay NSW 1360. All communication will be kept confidential.
