Vladimir Putin had high hopes for a quick victory when he ordered the Russian invasion of Ukraine. But he failed to account for the tenacity of the Ukrainian people, the ferocious support from the West and the charismatic appeal of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. If you're a fan of true crime like Unravel, this is global news told in the style of true crime. Will Putin fulfil his dream of expanding the Russian empire, or has he made the biggest mistake of his life?

Queensland in the 1950s: god-fearing, morally upstanding, tough on crime. Beneath the surface, a murky world of gambling, drugs and brothels kept in check by three crooked cops known as The Rat Pack. For thirty years, they ran a complex system of bribery and extortion as they pocketed the profits. But this trio never dreamed how things would end. That the women they exploited — madams, sex workers, entrepreneurs — would be their demise. Journalist Matt Condon weaves a David and Goliath story with never-before-heard tapes from his decade of reporting on Queensland's police corruption. Sirens are Coming is the newest season of the ABC's history podcast, Dig. Search for Dig: Sirens Are Coming to listen to the full series now.

In the final episode of the series, Keiran and Aunty Pip get together for a final debrief on what they've uncovered during their gruelling eight-month investigation. They have some surprising differences of opinion: one is adamant enough is enough and, for the other, this is just the beginning.

Keiran gets on a plane across the ditch to her old home, New Zealand, to track down one of the main suspects in Juanita Nielsen's suspected murder ... with unexpected outcomes. Back home, a new lead unearths someone who's never spoken before. The man was a young law student recruited by police to go undercover inside jail. He tells of a terrifying cat-and-mouse encounter that led to a detailed confession of murder. The sting also reveals a money trail involving crime boss Abe Saffron and an alleged attempt to influence the outcome of a court case. Both potentially game-changing revelations, the investigator claims, were ignored or buried by senior police.

Keiran's investigation moves towards one of the big unanswered questions: why wasn't Juanita's case solved at the time? What went wrong with the police investigation? Revelations about entrenched police corruption start to tumble out during the 1983 inquest into Juanita Nielsen's disappearance. Young crime reporter Neil Mercer finds himself in the centre of the furore when it's revealed he has recordings of multiple interviews with Carousel Club manager Jim Anderson he's then forced to hand over. Mercer tells Keiran he got to know "Jimmy" as he calls him over a period of more than two decades. Anderson admits both he and his boss Abe Saffron used blackmail as a way of controlling and/or calling in favours from powerful people. Mercer believes senior police may have been compromised in this way and, as a result, deliberately undermined Juanita's case. Mercer's evidence also exposes details of the serious rift between the two partners in crime. The final bombshell ... we learn Anderson is a police informer who had a role in eventually bringing down Saffron on tax evasion charges.

In the weeks leading up to her disappearance, Juanita Nielsen received strange phone calls with requests for her to meet to talk about advertising in her newspaper. She told her business partner something wasn’t right about them. After some serious digging, Keiran tracks down a man who owns up to being the voice behind those calls. He has never spoken publicly about what he knows. Lloyd Marshall was one of three men charged over a plan to abduct Juanita, but later acquitted. He worked at the Carousel Club and divulges disturbing details of how the underworld operated in Kings Cross around that time. Lloyd thinks Juanita was conned into turning up to the venue that final day. He shares with Keiran his suspicions that his boss Jim Anderson was involved in Juanita’s disappearance.

If Juanita was killed because she knew too much, what was she working on that put her in such danger? Keiran dives down the rabbit hole of years of whispered suggestions that crime boss Abe Saffron had kept dossiers for blackmailing prominent people. The lead was first uncovered by a journalist duo who received death threats and were so scared they left the country. The story's wild twists include talk of photos of illegal sex acts, a bank robbery, a famous media mogul, a crooked judge and walkie talkie conversations with a prisoner in jail. Was Juanita the person on the other end of the handset, in a car outside the jail? Did she gain information about secret dossiers and was she threatening to release them?
