This is Australian True Crime with Michelle Laurie. Some time ago, we spoke to Adelaide man Greg Jenkins about the suspected murder of his mother, Anna, in Malaysia. He joins us again eight years after she disappeared to update us on his fight for a thorough and transparent investigation into her death. This is Australian True Crime. We acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which this podcast is created, the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation. And a warning, this episode of the podcast contains graphic descriptions of violence.
I founded Ornot in 2013. I think the best thing about Shopify is that we can practice business without technical skills. We can manage the company's background and front-end and sell online. If Shopify was a bicycle, it would be a bicycle itself. That's how things are handled and our business is handled in Shopify. Start a free trial at shopify.com.

Klaas Olsson. your mum was such a beautiful person. Like no one wants, I keep thinking about my mum. She's also great, but she would agree that your mum was just kind of above and beyond in terms of kindness. The story that sticks with me is that she rented a house herself in Adelaide and she turned it into like emergency accommodation effectively.
Yes. She managed herself. Yes. She also helped cook for them, clean for them, would help say some prayers. So, yeah, she was just a beautiful human being. And if I can take at least one leaf off of her tree, I think I'd be a better human.
I think you have taken many leaves off her tree. I think your tenacity, your commitment, and your commitment to her is very moving.
Yeah.
And again, I was thinking about, I thought, would I, could I do what you're doing if this had happened to me? Or would I sort of say, this is terrible, we live in a terrible world, my mum's, something has happened to her in Malaysia and I can't, there's nothing I can do about it because the police won't help me.
Yeah, I think you never know until you're thrust into that situation and you can be quite naive to think, you know, I would do this, I would do that. And then when you get thrown into the world, which I hope no one ever gets to experience, then you do whatever you can for the family.
You've taken on a very paternalistic role, I would say, in the family, didn't you? Your dad was still living at that time, but he was unwell.
Yes.
And so you took on the role of, I'm going to sort this.
Yeah. So we had a chat with my sister. She was a single mum with two young kids. Yeah. So we kind of made the deal that she would come over and help when she can, but she would deal with dad and look after him. I would go over there and do the searching and together we were able to move mountains and help so many other people. And this is the other thing when you're thrust into this position, it doesn't just... affect you it affects so many other people that have been in some of the similar situations or people that love reading true crime i've met quite a few people along the journey that that want to be involved um and want to help and so we've able to have this like from a small drop in the ocean to have such a large ripple effect
Yeah, the True Crime community is a really powerful, positive community in my experience. I know that there's cowboys in every industry and all that kind of stuff. And there's certainly shows that I don't think are very sensitive or whatever. But in general, I feel like the audience has its heart in the right place.
Absolutely, yeah. And whether it's intrigue, whether it's they want to help solve it, everything is from a positive point of view where someone might be able to tell you something that you haven't thought of previously or just learning about, like for us as well, like learning about mum's situation is huge in itself just to listen to the story and see this is what's happening.
