Crime Insiders

REWIND | The Wattle Flower murder

21 Oct 2025

Description

The body of 27-year-old mother of two, Samantha Bodsworth, was found in Noosa, surrounded by wattle trees.  The killer thinks it’s the perfect crime, but what they underestimated was the power of the tiny, silent witnesses clinging to almost everything they touched – pollen. In this Rewind episode of Crime Insiders | Forensics, former host Kathryn Fox talks to Dr Lynne Milne, the scientist at the forefront of forensic palynology.  We learn how, for the first time in an Australian criminal case, pollen helped unmask a murderer. This episode references men's violence against women.
