DETECTIVES: The Dante Arthurs Case

Crime Insiders

On the 26th of June, 2006, police were notified that a young girl had gone missing in Perth. Moments later, her body was found, and an expansive crime scene was established.

With an unknown, and clearly dangerous offender on the run, police were working against the clock to preserve crucial evidence, and find who was responsible.

Then detective Paul Litherland was too close to the victim’s family to investigate, so was forced to watch on as police began their search for the offender.

Brent Sanders sits down with Paul to hear this story, and understand how Paul went from General Duties Cop to WA's Australian of the Year.
