Who Killed Dr Bogle and Mrs Chandler?

56m Crime, Mystery, Documentary, History 2006

New scientific evidence suggests a solution to one of Australia’s most baffling unsolved criminal mysteries.

When the bodies of brilliant physicist Dr Gilbert Bogle and his lover Mrs Margaret Chandler are found in bizarre circumstances on a Sydney riverbank in 1963, the case captures the public imagination and launches an unprecedented murder investigation. However, the controversial coroner’s inquest finds no cause of death, killer or motive. Some theories suggest a Cold War assassination, others an overdose of LSD. Now, four decades later, this explosive documentary reveals startling new scientific evidence and offers a stunning solution to one of Australia’s most baffling riddles: who killed Dr Bogle and Mrs Chandler?
