Hey, y'all. Welcome back to True Crime Consumes me. I'm your host Ashley, and I'm so glad you're here with me today for another crazy true crime story. Get ready because today's case, ooh, this case is beyond disturbing. So grab your headphones, quiet your busy little mind, and let's settle in before we get started. As always, trigger warning, this episode's content is explicit. Disturbing and is not suitable for all audiences. Please proceed with caution. All right, so let's get into this one. Let's talk about what a psychopath is. Maybe the better question is how can you tell if you're dealing with one? They don't all look like the movie villains. We picture. In fact, some of the most dangerous ones. Blend in perfectly. They have normal lives. They can be funny, charming, and even magnetic, the kind of person you'd never suspect. But behind the facade, they're manipulative, cold, and calculating. Psychopaths can lie without blinking. They can hurt others without remorse, and they often see people as pawns in their own personal gain. And when that mask slips, the results are devastating. Tonight we're gonna see exactly what happens when psychopathy and rage collide. And the story of Catherine Knight. This is a case that shocked all of Australia and the entire world. So just another fair warning about this case. Honestly, it's so brutal and so graphic. Please proceed with caution. So this case is a real mix of nature versus nurture. Going completely wrong, Catherine's upbringing taught her that relationships were all about fighting. And violence, and that was just part of life. But then you add in her own personality, her explosiveness, the manipulation, and her cold ways that she exudes and you get something that is especially dangerous. I feel like a lot of people go through a rough childhood without turning into killers, but didn't. Her story is gonna show what happens when a messed up environment meets an already unstable mind.

To understand Katherine Knight, you first have to understand the woman who raised her, her mother, Barbara Rohan. In the 1950s, Barbara was married to John Rohan, or Jack as he was known, and they had four sons when she began a scandalous affair with one of Jack's coworkers, Ken Knight. In a small abattoir town like Aberdeen, an abattoir is also known as a slaughterhouse. Gossip spreads fast and the betrayal branded her as an outcast, but Barbara pressed on with Ken leaving her marriage behind. The cost was steep, though Ken refused to raise another man's kids. But knowing this, Barbara still walked away, not just from her husband, but from her four sons, two who would end up staying with Jack and the other two who ended up being raised by an aunt in Sydney. Each one of them scarred by the abandonment of their mother with Ken. Barbara had four more children, including two twin girls, Catherine and Joy Night. The girls were born on October 24th, 1955 in Tenterfield, new South Wales. Home life was anything but peaceful though, Ken. He was a violent alcoholic who beat and raped Barbara regularly often it was in direct view of the children, bitter and hardened. Barbara poured her frustrations into her daughters speaking in raw and explicit detail and warning them that. Quote, men are bastards unquote, even as she remained with the very man who constantly brutalized her. For Catherine, those lessons were seared into her early understanding of the world. Love in her eyes was bound to violence, family meant betrayal, and every touch was laced with fear. As the family drifted between Aberdeen and other Hunter Valley towns. Catherine's instability showed early in school. She struggled to read, write, and comprehend the material. This letter to earning a reputation at school as a loner, but instead of being a quiet loner, she could explode into sudden and disruptive rages, leaving teachers and classmates totally unsettled. She was also remembered as a bully. She was feared by small children. Once in a fit of rage, Catherine grabbed a young boy and held a knife to him. She yelled violently, threatening to stab him repeatedly. That incident terrified the children around her reports. Note that this wasn't an isolated act. She was known to strike teachers and intimidate peers regularly. This moment's important because it shows how her relationship with violence and weapons began very early in life. Proving it wasn't only in later years that knives became her tool of control and intimidation. Even as a girl, she had already equated anger with blades and intimacy with fear. Oddly enough, some teachers would describe her as a model student when she was calm. This split personality, the Jekyll and Hyde became her hallmark. A psychiatrist later pointed out how early this pattern started, the inability to regulate emotion, the sudden violent rages, and the lack of empathy when she struck out Catherine's history of violence is linked to a deeply traumatic and abusive past. By the age of 11, she had been sexually assaulted by several family members. I was able to find that it was possibly her half brothers that assaulted her. However, there's no definitive documentation out there. I did find out that it definitely was not her father. This trauma was profound betrayal that set a pattern of abuse in her early life. This further compounded during her teenage years. When she confided in her mother Barbara, about a boyfriend pressuring her into an uncomfortable sexual act, and instead of offering her support, her mother's response was brutally dismissive. She told her, quote, put up with it and stop complaining. Could you imagine your mom, the person that is supposed to give you advice, guide you in life, and protect you in ways that no one else can? Says this to you. I as a mother would absolutely go, mama bear on someone. If this was my situation, literally kill for my kids. I could not imagine dismissing something like this in the way that Barbara did, but I guess you can feel sorry for the child. You can't really feel sorry for what they turned out to be because ultimately it's the choices that they make that puts'em in the position they end up in. That's just my opinion. So this shitty and frankly, unacceptable advice that Barbara Gaver taught Catherine not to seek comfort but to endure, and eventually to lash back with violence of her own. Psychologists would later say that these kind of early messages shaped Catherine profoundly. They pointed out that hearing such violence and resentment from her own mother normalized the cruelty, the control, and the rage. It planted the seed that violence was a legitimate way to handle conflict. When she was old enough, Catherine went to work at Aberdeen Abattoir. She started as a cleaner with hopes of soon Being able to get hands on with the slaughtering. By 16, she was promoted to ful. And ful is someone who prepares all the internal organs for processing. It's a process that no one else wanted to do. While it was hard bloody work, killing and gutting and carving, Catherine thrived in this profession, she was quick, precise, and immensely proud of her skills with knives. Her knives became her trophies, so much so that she had them hung over her headboard of her bed. So they were on full display and readily available if she needed them. It's very macab and it was the slaughterhouse that she met her first husband, David Kelt. David was known around town as a heavy drinker and a brawler. He was wild, and Catherine was drawn to him instantly because of this. They started dating in the early 1970s and within a year they were married. Their wedding was chaotic, just like their relationship. Catherine drove them to their ceremony on a motorcycle. David already drunk at the reception. Barbara Catherine's mother pulled David aside and said bluntly, if you ever cheat on her or upset her, she will fucking kill you. Imagine hearing that from your mother-in-law on your wedding day. How someone wouldn't run immediately baffles me. Maybe he knew Barbara and maybe he thought she was just being a ruthless bitch like she normally was. I don't know, but oof. That's red flags definitely flying.

That morning wasn't just talk on their wedding night after having sex. One time David fell asleep. Catherine furious that he hadn't satisfied her enough, tried to strangle him in his sleep. According to an article I read, she apparently wanted to have sex five times like her mother did on her wedding night. Anything else was shameful apparently. I'm not sure why this is a contest, but, okay. So David woke up in time to fight her off. While Catherine was described as a large stocky woman, he was a bit larger and stronger than her and was able to pry her hands from his throat before she could strangle him to death. Their marriage spiraled quickly. When David came home one night from a darts competition, Catherine perceived that he was late because he was cheating and smashed him in the head with a frying pan, fracturing his skull. He stumbled to a neighbor's house, collapsed and was hospitalized. Police wanted to charge Catherine, but David refused to press charges out of fear of retaliation from Catherine. Catherine's attacks were often followed by apologies, tears and temporary calm. Like man abusers. She could flip into a caring affectionate partner once the rage had passed, leaving Kelt hopeful that things would improve after this incident and the apologies, he reluctantly stayed with Catherine despite the drama and violence. In May of 1976, Catherine and David had a daughter who they named Melissa Ann. But motherhood didn't tame Catherine. It intensified her volatility. In the same month her daughter was born, David Killt finally walked out. Catherine's fragile grip on reality was shattered. He hadn't just left her. He'd gone to another woman, a woman that he had already gotten pregnant to. Catherine. It was a betrayal in its purest form. A humiliation that burned hotter than any of her jealous rages. And in that fury, she turned not just on him, but on the one thing that they still shared, their newborn baby girl, Melissa. One bleak. Afternoon. Soon after David left, Catherine carried the infant to a set of railroad tracks on the outskirts of town. She laid the baby down on the steel, walked away and left her there to die. A train was due any minute, but by some miracle fate intervened. An old man from town known as old Ted was scavenging near the line. He spotted the baby wrapped and helpless. He scooped her up just minutes before the train thundered through. Furious and still in a rage. Catherine began stalking the streets of Aberdeen like a storm. She had an ax in one hand and a knife in the other acting foolishly threatening anyone. She passed on the streets. Eventually she was subdued and taken to a mental institution. Doctors at Maitland Psychiatric Hospital called it a postnatal depression and locked her up for a short time. Some sources said one day, some said less than 24 hours, and some said three days. Some, I'm unsure what the timeline really was, but what is really unbelievable is when they released her without restriction, they even gave her baby back. The late seventies were a wild time. When it came to her mental health, it was not seen as a debilitating factor, so they essentially let her rest and return to her normal life with no regards to the safety of that baby. Before long, she was back at the Aperto like nothing had happened. People whispered about the baby on the tracks incident, but no one ever really dealt with it. It was the first chance the system had to stop her. And it failed miserably. Just days later, she lashed out again. 16-year-old Margaret Macbeth was slashed across the face in a knife attack. I didn't find any sources that said Catherine previously knew Macbeth. Unfortunately, I believe she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. After this random assault. Catherine then forced a woman at knife point to drive her towards Queensland, but the woman escaped at a service station. I read that they stopped at the gas station because there was a mechanic on duty that she had planned to kill because in her delusional mind. He helped David leave by fixing his car recently. So as soon as the woman escaped, Catherine panicked and grabbed a young boy and held him hostage until the police showed up and managed to disarm her with broom handles. I found it weird that they used something so random as broom handle, so I had to see if anyone explained why. According to a statement from the deputies on scene, they used the broomsticks as a less lethal force. All to protect the child that she was holding hostage. The broomsticks protected them from the slashing of the knives toward them, but also allowed the distance needed to safely knock the knife out of her hand. Once subdued, she was again taken to another mental health institution. During her evaluation, she admitted that her whole plan was to kill David, his mother, and of course the mechanic who fixed the car like we mentioned before. And still she was released weeks later, right back into David's custody. Psychologists now called this one of the earliest and clearest failures of intervention. Authorities treated her like a temporary crisis instead of a long-term danger. She clearly was. When David finally left for good and started a new family, Catherine's rage boiled over. In a small town like Aberdeen, everybody knew and that humiliation was her fuel. What I find interesting is she was never held accountable for any of these horrible outbursts that obviously caused injury. Not just physically, but mentally. Imagine that little boy and what he was thinking and feeling at that time. Yeah, she just gets one or two days stay in a mental institution and walks away without any real consequences or like her baby. Yeah, the baby may not remember, but good lord. Could you imagine hearing about that in your older years? Honestly, I don't know if that was empowering to someone like her. Just play the crazy card and you can do whatever you want to, whomever you want. I think it's just wild. Again, just my opinion. So after David kt Katherine moved on quickly, and in 1986 she met David Saunders. Saunders was a 38-year-old minor and former Speedway driver, remembered by his friends as a gentle, easygoing man to outsiders. He seemed like the opposite of ktt. He was polite, reserved, and less of a brawler, but Catherine's cycle of charm. The obsession and the violence was already well established. In the beginning, she showered Saunders with affection. He moved into her house though wisely. He kept his own apartment in a nearby scone as a backup. When tensions flared, at first things seemed stable, but Kappan, jealousy and paranoia didn't take long to surface. Whenever Saunders went out without her, she accused him of cheating, and as her suspicion grew, so did her violence. The most infamous example came in 1987 in a jealous rage. Catherine picked up Saunders's two month old dingo puppy, a harmless and defensive little animal, and slid its throat right in front of him. It was a warning, a demonstration of what she was capable of if she thought he betrayed her a psychologist later described this act as a sadistic performance of violence, a calculated display of power designed to terrify and to control. It wasn't just cruelty, it was symbolic. A message that said, this could be you. Immediately after the killing of the puppy, she bashed Saunders over the head with a frying pan, knocking him unconscious. Astonishingly Saunders stayed. Like kill it before him. He got trapped in her cycle of rage violence than charm and remorse. Experts would later say this cycle is textbook for people with borderline and antisocial traits, the partner is drawn back in hopes that the calm will last while the abuser waits for the next trigger. Despite the obvious warning signs of trouble to come, the couple had a daughter, Sarah, in June of 1988, but the violence escalated even further after the baby was born. Just like last time in one brutal fight that started over the same jealousy that fueled the previous fight, Catherine smashed Saunders in the face with a hot iron. Then stabbed him in the stomach with a pair of scissors. He survived. He was badly injured, but the message was clear. She could hurt him anytime she wanted to. Somehow, once again, she got away with it without charges. Saunders fled eventually going into hiding for weeks out of fear. When he finally returned to check on their daughter, he discovered that had flipped the script. She had already gone to police claiming she was the victim, and that she feared him incredibly, despite the injuries that he's able to prove, authorities believed her. They issued an apprehended violence order in a VO. It's an Australian version of a restraining order against Saunders forbidding him from approaching her in one stroke. Catherine had turned her real victim into the legal aggressor. By the time Saunders broke free completely, he was scarred both physically and psychologically. He had stab wounds, facial burns, and a lifelong trauma from living in constant fear. He later said Catherine's violence followed him like a shadow. By the mid 1980s, Catherine's violent reputation was well known in Aberdeen. People whispered about her jealous rages and knife threats, but she still carried herself with pride, especially when it came to her work at the Aperto. To her, the slaughterhouse wasn't just a job, it was her place of status where she was skilled, respected, and feared. She hit speed. Precision and an almost obsessive connection to her knives. But in 1986, that identity was torn away. While working at Aberdeen Meatworks, Katherine suffered a severe back injury. Many accounts describe it as an accident. There's no real information about what happened, but the results were devastating. She ended up with chronic pain that made her unfit for heavy labor. She was forced out of the only job she ever loved. She had no choice but to accept a disability pension, which might sound like security, but to Catherine, it was humiliation. Friends and family later said she seemed lost, robbed the one role that gave her purpose. Around 1990, an unemployed, lonely, 30 5-year-old Catherine entered another new relationship this time with John, chilling Worth a former abattoir coworker. Chilling worth was 43, a recovering alcoholic, and by many accounts, a pretty decent man who wanted stability. Catherine quickly became pregnant within months of them dating. And in 1991, she gave birth to her fourth child, Eric. Surprisingly, for a while, this relationship was relatively calm, at least compared to the others, chilling worth Later admitted he had struck Catherine once in anger after she provoked him by knocking off his glasses and even breaking his false teeth. But Katherine never launched the kind of frenzied knife attacks that had marked her time with ETT and Saunders. Psychologists have speculated why somebody chilling works personality, the quiet, detached, perhaps less challenging, didn't trigger her violent extremes. Others suggest she was distracted already setting her sights on someone new. By 1994, after three years, Catherine ended the relationship with Chilling Worth because she had begun an affair with a man named John Price. John Charles Thomas Price, known to everyone as Pricey, was born in 1955 and grew up the Hunter Valley region of New South Wales. By all accounts, he was a straightforward, likable man, the kind of neighbor everyone trusted, and everyone seemed to enjoy having him around. He built a steady life for himself, working as a fitter in the local mines, a job he held for nearly 17 years, and he took great pride in being a reliable provider, price married young, and by the late 1980s, he was raising in three kids. Two of the older kids who lived with him after his marriage ended in 1988, and a younger daughter who remained with his ex-wife friends, described him as a good bloke, easygoing and well liked in town. Someone who didn't go looking for trouble. Pricey, enjoyed simple pleasures, a few drinks with his mates, time with his kids, and the stability of his work. He wasn't perfect, but he wasn't violent. His friends often said he was the last man you'd expect to end up tangled with someone as volatile as Katherine Knight. And yet by the mid 1990s Price's path would cross with hers and it would lead to one of the most brutal endings imaginable at first, things seemed fine. Catherine moved into price's home in 1995. His children reportedly got along with her at first and for a while their relationship looked almost normal, but it didn't take long before Catherine's old patterns returned. Jealousy, control threats, and escalating violence. Psychologists would later emphasize how predictable this was. Her relationships always followed the same cycle, charm, control, violence, contrition, and escalation with price, the stakes were even higher because Catherine was older. Now, angrier. And more practice in both manipulation and violence. This was the beginning of her final and most destructive chapter. By the late 1990s, Katherine Knight and John Price had been living together for a few years, but their relationship was already fracturing. Katherine wanted marriage price, wanted nothing to do with it. He was divorced raising three kids and content as things were. Catherine, however, saw his refusal as rejection, and for her rejection was fuel for rage. In 1998, Catherine made her move out of spite. She videotaped medical supplies. Price had scavenged from work, first aid kits that were destined for the trash expired, unusable, and sent the footage to his boss. It didn't matter that these items were worthless. The mining company fired price after 17 years of service. For him, it was devastating. Not just financially, but emotionally, financially, though. It had to hurt because sources state that he was making over a hundred thousand dollars annually. In today's money, that would be$199,000. It had to have hurt. He had built his life around that job. When he realized Catherine was behind it, he threw her out for a few months. Price was free, but like so many of Catherine's partners before him, he was pulled back in. By late 1998, they had reconciled this time though price refused to let her move in full time. That decision only made her angrier. She started accusing his kids of molesting her daughters. These accusations were baseless. They were just vicious lies designed to divide. Just after moving in, she stole a thousand dollars from price, which is a little under$2,000 in 2025 money, and she bought herself an engagement ring and paraded it as proof of their commitment. This, in my opinion, is the epitome of crazy. This man already said no to the commitment, but in her delusional mind, all she had to do was make it happen herself. The fights became legendary in town, loud, violent, and constant price's. Friends refused to visit the house if Catherine was there. Family and friends Warned him to get out in late February, 2000. Catherine stabbed price in the chest during an argument. He survived, but the message was clear she could kill him. On February 28th. Price. Finally went to the S scone Magistrate Court and obtained a restraining order against her. That same day at work, he confided to coworkers. He said, quote, if I don't come to work tomorrow, it's because Catherine killed me. He wasn't joking. He was predicting his fate. Everyone begged him to stay away, don't go back, but price couldn't. He told them, I've gotta protect the kids at all costs. He didn't know that Catherine had already sent the kids to a sleepover, but he didn't believe for a second that they were safe. That nagging distrust pulled him back into that house and straight into a nightmare waiting for him. On the night of February 29th, 2000, Katherine Knight arrived at John Price's House despite the restraining order he had taken out just the day before. She had already set the stage earlier by sitting his children to a sleepover, buying black lingerie, and even videotaping her own kids in what looked like a strange sort of farewell message that included a narrative that sounded. Eerily like a will when price returned home around 11:00 PM After having a few drinks with the neighbors, Katherine was already inside waiting. There was no immediate confrontation. Instead, she used her familiar tactic of calming the waters first. The evidence even shows that they had sex and price perhaps exhausted or hoping things had cooled off, went to bed Afterwards It might have felt calm for a moment, but that piece was a trap. Catherine wanted prize to think everything was normal until she decided to unleash what she'd been planning all along in the early hours of March 1st, Catherine struck with one of her prized butcher knives. She stabbed him as he slept price woke bleeding and trying to escape. Blood evidence showed he stumbled down the hallway and even reached the front door, but Catherine dragged him back inside. By the time it was over, he had been stabbed 37 times front and back. Deep wounds that punctured multiple vital organs and made veins. Eventually, he collapsed in the hallway and died after stabbing John Price to death. Katherine carried out one of the most gruesome post-mortem acts that Australia had ever seen. The next morning, something immediately seemed off prices, car was still sitting in the driveway. Neighbors knew him so well and knew his routine by heart. John was always out the door before Sunrise headed to work. Seeing that car still there felt wrong, like a silent alarm. One neighbor walked over to check, and at almost the same moment a coworker arrived, sent by John's employer after he failed to show up for a shift following his ominous foreshadowing statement the day before together, they knocked on the doors, they banged on the windows and called out his name. Nothing, not a single sound. The house was too quiet. The kind of silence that makes the hair on your neck stand up, that's when they decided to call the police. When the officers arrived, they immediately noticed it. Dark stains smeared across the front door. It was very clearly blood. This wasn't just someone oversleeping, something violent had happened With weapons drawn, the officers forced their way in. The first thing that hit them wasn't sight, but smell a thick metallic scent of blood mixed with something else. Something cooking. The air was heavy and wrong as they stepped further inside. What they saw next was grotesque. So nightmarish that even hardened detectives later admitted it haunted them for literally the rest of their lives. Just inside, they found blood smeared along the walls and the floors clear evidence of a desperate struggle. Blood trails showed that John Price had tried to flee after being stabbed, staggering down the hallway, reaching the front door only to be dragged back inside. His final collapse was in the hallway where he bled out price's. Body had been mutilated beyond recognition. His skin had been expertly removed and discovered hanging from a meat hook in the doorway of the living room like an animal pelt. What was left of his body had been arranged in a grotesque staged pose on the lounge couch. His left arm was draped over an empty soft drink bottle. Legs crossed as if mocking him even in death. The kitchen was the most horrifying scene of it all on the stove. Set a large pot simmering with water, vegetables, and John price's head in the oven. Police found trays containing slices of flesh baked alongside potatoes, pumpkin, zucchini, and gravy. On the table were two dinner plates each with neatly prepared portions of human meat and vegetables laid out with place cards bearing the name of price's children. A third plate was found thrown in the yard. It suggested that Catherine May have tried to eat some herself, but couldn't follow through and threw it out to the dogs. On top of a photograph of John Price, officers found a bloodstain handwritten note. In it, Catherine accuses price of harming her daughter. Again, an accusation later proven to be false. The letter was rambling, bitter, and full of rage, showing no remorse. Only blame. As the officers pushed deeper into the house, the horror unfolded around them, the smell of blood, and the grotesque scene in the kitchen. The mutilation, they could barely process, but amid all of it, they still had to account for Catherine. Was she hiding? Was she armed? Was she ready to attack? No. What they found was almost stranger than if she had been waiting for them. Katherine Knight was lying in John Price's bed unconscious, empty pill packets were scattered nearby. She had overdosed in what looked like a half-hearted suicide attempt. Slipping into a drugged haze while her crime scene played out around her. Paramedics were rushed in and she was taken straight to Swell. Brook Hospital. The officer who rode with her described her as groggy, barely responsive, but alive, but not in any way broken by what she had done. Once stabilized, she was placed in her police guard and then she woke. She was officially charged with John Price's murder. Unlike all the times before, there was no escape. This time, no victim willing to drop charges, no mental health excuse that could sweep it under the rug. The evidence filled every room of John Price's house. Catherine had finally crossed the line from feared abuser to convicted killer, and this time the law was there to hold her accountable. So here's the thing. When Katherine Knight was arrested, her lawyers immediately pointed to her obvious mental health issues. Maybe she's insane. Maybe she didn't know what she was doing. It's a common defense in cases this extreme. But psychiatrists who evaluated her said otherwise. Yes, she had serious personality disorders, borderline antisocial traits, even psychopathic tendencies. But she was not legally insane. She knew exactly what she was doing, and she knew it was wrong. and that's the key. I mean, think about it. That wasn't some spur of the moment frenzy. She sent the kids to a sleepover. She bought lingerie. She videotaped her own children in what looked like a wheel. She set the stage for what was about to be done. That kind of planning, that cold setup destroys any claim of insanity. at first, she tried to plead not guilty, hoping to blame it on her state of mind. But the evidence was overwhelming. The psychiatric reports and the brutality of the crime itself spoke to her guilt. On the very first day of her trial, Catherine changed her plea to guilty of murder, sparing the jury from hearing the graphic evidence in detail. But Judge Berry O'Keeffe wasn't swayed by any of the excuses. He said her actions were calculated, sadistic and deliberate, and this is why she would become the first woman in Australian history to be sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole. Her insanity defense, it didn't stand a chance. She later appealed, claiming the punishment was too severe. The court, they dismissed their case. I mean, too severe. You literally butchered a man in his own home and cooked parts of him. I don't believe that this was too severe today, Katherine Knight remains in prison. Fellow inmates describe her as a quiet, even grandmotherly woman. And psychologists say this shows her dual nature. She can control herself when consequences are certain, but when unchecked. Her violence spirals into horror. Her story stands as one of the most chilling reminders of how psychopathy can hide in plain sight and how ignoring red flags, no matter how shocking can end in tragedy. So what do you think of Katherine Knight? Was she simply evil or was there something deeper at play? Katherine Knight's story is more than just a true crime headline. It's a cautionary tale about ignoring red flags, about underestimating domestic violence and what happens when rage and psychopathy meet and nobody steps in soon enough. Well, y'all.
