Who Killed Dr Bogle and Mrs Chandler?

2006, 55.5 Minutes

At last, an answer to one of crime history's great unsolved cases. When the bodies of brilliant physicist Dr Gilbert Bogle and his lover Mrs Margaret Chandler were found in bizarre circumstances on a Sydney riverbank in 1963, it captured the public imagination and launched an unprecedented murder investigation. However, the Coroner could find no cause of death, killer or motive. Some suggested it was a Cold War assassination, others claimed it was an overdose of LSD. Now, four decades later, a new investigation uncovers explosive new evidence.
