Case 309: Lindsay Jellett

08 Mar 2025

Description

When 41-year-old Lindsay Jellett failed to return home from his evening walk around the Victorian town of Ararat in May 1994, staff at his residential care unit were immediately worried. As well as being intellectually disabled, Lindsay had epilepsy, which required nightly medication, and it wasn’t like him to lose track of time. As daybreak emerged, a grim discovery led to the question – who would want to hurt this innocent man?---Narration – Anonymous HostResearch & writing – Vikki PetraitisCreative direction – Milly RasoProduction and music – Mike MigasMusic – Andrew D.B.

Hi, Backmarket hier. Die mit der erneuerten Technik, die dich weniger kostet. Wie dieses Handy. Es kann alles, was Handys halt können. Nicht nur diesen nervigen Spam-Anruf ignorieren. Es kann texten, anrufen, chatten, snoozen, liken, entliken. Einfach alles, was ein brandneues Handy kann. Aber das hier ist deutlich günstiger. Denn es ist nicht neu. Es ist von Profis auf Herz und Nieren geprüft.

Als Kind ist einfach alles um einen herum riesengroß. Kinder haben Bedürfnisse, die man als Erwachsener zum Teil falsch einschätzt. Verschenkt man zum Beispiel eine Babypuppe, ist diese oft zu groß für kleine Kinderhände. Als Einstieg für Kinder ab einem Jahr eignet sich daher viel besser die Babyborn Lena in 36 cm.

Am Abend von Donnerstag, Mai 10, 1994, hatten die Mitarbeiter ein Haus auf Grano Street in der regionalen viktorischen Stadt Ararat, das Abendessen am üblichen Uhrzeitpunkt um 6 Uhr geöffnet hat. Das Haus war ein Wohnzimmer für Personen mit Behinderungen.

Die fünf Bewohner des Wohnzimmers wurden um die Uhr von den Bewohnern des Wohnzimmers vom Departement für Gesundheit und Gemeinschaftssicherheit geschützt. It was their job to support and empower the residents to live as independently as possible. But as the staff and residents gathered around the dining table to eat their dinner together, one chair remained empty.

The cheerful and gentle fifth resident of the unit, 41-year-old Lindsay Jellett, was nowhere to be seen. Lindsay Jellett was a creature of habit. Shortly before 4 o'clock that afternoon, he asked the staff at Grano Street for permission to go for his daily walk. This was Lindsays favourite part of the day, the only time he was free and unrestricted.

Although it was rare for Lindsay to be late, he loved food and his carers were sure he'd be back before long. They put his plate in the microwave so they could reheat his dinner as soon as he showed up. But by 6.30 there was still no sign of Lindsay. His carers checked his bedroom and the backyard in case he'd returned without them noticing.
