In this episode of Crime Curious, we’re heading to Adelaide — a city known for beaches, wine, and, unfortunately, one of the most chilling figures in Australian true crime: Bevan Spencer von Einem.

Von Einem was the quiet, well‑spoken accountant who blended into the background… until the abduction and murder of 15‑year‑old Richard Kelvin shattered that illusion and exposed a far darker reality. As investigators dug deeper, they uncovered a disturbing pattern of drugging's, assaults, and whispered rumors about a shadowy group of men preying on vulnerable teens.
