Crime Scenes with Coffee Beans

The Mack Truck Murderer

Belinda Brady Season 1 Episode 16

Most of us like to unwind by enjoying a cold drink or two with our loved ones. Whether that is while we are on vacation, or just relaxing after a hard day, or week, at work, the bar/pub is a place where we can relax, take a breath and catch up with friends. But what happens when a man, who is doing the exact same thing, gets kicked out of the bar you are at for disorderly conduct, and rather than going home and sleeping it off he drives his Mack Truck through the bar?

Sounds like a far fetched urban legend, right? Only, sadly, it is not. This really happened.

Join Belinda on the *new and improved* Crime Scenes with Coffee Beans as she uncovers the unnerving tale of Douglas Crabbe, aka The Mack Truck Murderer, the man, who in 1983, drove his 25 tonne Semi Trailer through a bar in Uluru (aka Ayers Rock), Northern Territory, Australia, killing 5 innocent people and injuring many, many more. All because he was asked to leave for being drunk and disorderly. This shocking crime will stay with you long after you've finished this episode.
