Jindalee, the new investigative podcast exploring the 37-year-old double homicide cold case of Catherine Holmes and Georgina Watmore and the culture of Cowra in the 1980s, has seen a wave of people come forward with new information regarding the mystery.
While nothing has been substantiated yet, the response from the public is a positive step in the near four decade old double murder case that has captivated the small farming town.
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. A recent story in this newspaper called on anyone with information to reach out and the response has been "incredible" according to Ms McKay.
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. It will feature exclusive interviews and reports as well as never before shared details about the crime.
The case, which remains unsolved after 37 years, occurred on the early morning hours of 15 April 1987, forever altering the small community.

The crime was not only devastating to Catherine and Georgina’s families and loved ones – but the whole of Cowra.
"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,” said Vangie.
“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 drop 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.
