Being in Victoria, the details of the murder of Jody Galante are a bit sketchy for me - I remember the case certainly, but the whys and wherefores of the whole thing isn't something that has stayed with me. So I'm finding the book by Edmund Tadros - What the Mother Knew very interesting so far. Edmund is the journalist who covered the story for The Sydney Morning Herald at the time that it happened.
Blurb from the Book:
What drives a man to kill his wife in cold blood? When Mark Galante reported his pregnant wife Jody missing in January 2006, her family always suspected foul play.
What drives a man to kill his wife in cold blood?
When Mark Galante reported his pregnant wife Jody missing in January 2006, her family always suspected foul play.
Eventually, after holding himself up as the devastated husband and father in a highly publicised campaign to find his "missing" childhood sweetheart, he confessed to driving Jody to bushland and shooting her in the back of the head while their baby girl sat in the car nearby.
