The Case Of · UPDATE: The Two Intruders | A second sting and a cancer diagnosis · 22 May 2026 podcast

In the end, the DNA appeared on this national database, and, you know, there hadn't been any testing for a while to see if there was a match, and there was this critical moment in 2019 when the police decided to review Irma's case again.

And it was during that review when they looked for a match on the national database that it actually popped up.

So it could have been administrative, the delay, but that information could have been available in 2015 if they'd reviewed it.

But they didn't.

And so I think it was most likely bureaucratic delays.

Well, it is quite a tale.

Steve Fabrizio at the time, and remember, this is like less than 10 years after this incident in Canberra.

He'd not been pinged for that, obviously.

But at the time, he'd been driving for a fairly well-known trucking company.

That was his job.

And they...

transported a lot of cigarettes, so high value.

Anyway, he got caught up in a situation where someone else gave him a quantity of cigarettes, which he then supplied to someone who onsold them and was paid some money for that.

Subsequent to that, he set up a sting of his own to steal a million dollars in cigarettes from a shipment.

And he made this arrangement with another driver and a third person, the person who'd in fact helped him with the first crime.

Now, he was eventually charged with conspiracy.

What he did was to arrange for his workmate to go and hijack the truck and

knock out the driver and he gave him knuckle dusters and cable ties and snips to cut the wires of the GPS so the truck couldn't be found.

And then he received a call to say it had all happened.

So he went and collected the goods and transferred them to the person who was going to sell them and then got arrested.
