Never to Be Released - The Brutal Murder of Anita Cobby

On the 2nd February, 1986, nurse Anita Cobby, finished work for the day and had dinner with friends. At around 9pm that night, her friend dropped her off at Central Station so she could make her way home. Anita waved goodbye to her friend and boarded a train bound for Blacktown, NSW. It would be the last time her friend would see her alive.

What would follow would see Anita subjected to hours of violence and sexual assault before being killed in an isolated paddock not too far from Blacktown train station, where she was headed. The men who committed this heinous crime were nothing short of pure evil and when the final hours of Anita's life came to light, it prompted a rare reaction from the sentencing judge.

Join Belinda as she investigates the murder of a beauty queen that broke Australia's heart.
