New podcast unravels one fatal night in North Queensland

Reporter

Two men killed. No one charged. An emergency response gone wrong. A family desperate for the truth.

Get ready to dive into one of Australia‘s most baffling mysteries, through a gripping new podcast.

Alva Beach: Death At The Door is the new eight-part exclusive investigation by 60 Minutes journalist Adam Hegarty that pulls back the curtain on the fatal events of a single night in a quiet North Queensland town – a case that has left families heartbroken and demanding answers for seven long years.

On that night, a backyard party in Alva Beach ended in tragedy with the stabbing deaths of two men: 37-year-old father of three Corey Christensen and 27-year-old Tom Davy.

The person responsible was never charged.

Hegarty covered the coronial inquest and has now travelled to North Queensland to delve back into this case; dissecting the emergency response, troves of contradicting testimony and why lawyers stormed out of the inquest.

He also speaks with the families, who feel let down by what they consider a flawed investigation.

Hegarty says “Tom and Corey’s families believe the system failed them from the very start and have been chasing answers for years. There are critical details of this case that demand public scrutiny, and this podcast is about putting that full, unvarnished record out there.”

Alva Beach: Death At The Door gives the audience a rare insight into this case through an extraordinary amount of evidence – much of which has never been released to the public – including police bodycam footage, emergency phone calls, suspect interviews and internal investigation recordings.

Throughout the podcast, Hegarty tracks down people linked to this case who have never spoken before. Among them, a former police officer who was on the scene that night.
