Stupid Me - The Death of Maria Korp

January 22, 2026 • Belinda Brady • Season 1 • Episode 37

Maria Korp was a loving mother and wife. She and her husband Joe had been married for over a decade, had a child togehter and had just finished building their dream home in the Victorian suburb of Mickleham. Life, for the most part, was good. But Joe was bored and looking for more and he found it in the form of a online dating website where he met the young and impressionable Tania Herman.

The two embarked on a seedy affair, and soon talk turned to them being together...but there was an obstacle in the way. Joe's wife, Maria. Together, the two hatched a plan that would result in Maria being found in the boot of her car, clinging to life, and a crime that captivated Australia.

TRIGGER WARNING - This episode discusses self harm/suicide. Listener discretion is advised.
