Episode Details

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

When Australian hotel manager Jason Rigby was found dead in his staff apartment at a luxury resort in Fiji on 14 December 2024, authorities initially ruled his death a suicide.

Jason’s family have never accepted that explanation, and have spent the past two years fighting for answers. Today, Jason’s sister-in-law Jess Rigby joins us to tell his story, and to talk about her upcoming memoir, While the Baby Slept.
