Pressure is mounting on top cop Col Blanch to fix WAPOL’s reputation over the handling of the case of Amy Wensley.

How the finding by the detective assigned to head the Coronial Review “killed” her career in WA Police. Detective Senior Constable Ann Lehane was told to treat Amy Wensley’s death as ‘non-suspicious’. And when she didn’t, she was verbally berated in front of fellow officers. Why did WA Police persist with the suicide theory in Amy’s case? Music used includes: Troublemaker Theme by Myuu thedarkpiano.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The new WA Police investigation, triggered by Season 1 of this podcast, is drawing to a close. However, despite proof Amy couldn’t kill herself, there’s fresh claims Amy’s case has become too political for those involved to hold anyone to account. The team reveals what’s going on behind the scenes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The first season was about proving Amy couldn’t have pulled the trigger despite the Coroner in 2021 delivering an open finding. This led to WAPOL reopening the investigation and updating the brief of evidence for the Director of Public Prosecutions to consider. We’ve had a massive response from the public (see comments on Apple podcasts) who are passionate about the Truth About Amy being realised and somebody being held accountable for her death. And now more people involved in the investigation of Amy Wensley have come forward saying that they knew she didn’t kill herself from the start, but were, in some cases, shouted down – literally. So now the family is concerned, and rightly so, that there are still people in power, with enough sway, to prevent justice in Amy’s case from being realised. We owe it to Amy’s family, along with every other family whose investigation into their loved one’s death has been botched, to see this through. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
