The One with the Australian Cannibal- Katherine Knight
Notas del episodio
In this episode of True Crime Wife by Jess, we dive into one of the most disturbing cases in Australian history—the murder of John Price at the hands of Katherine Knight.
This is a case that goes far beyond violence. It’s a story of control, escalation, and the terrifying reality of what can happen when warning signs are ignored—or not taken seriously enough.
We explore Katherine’s traumatic childhood, her pattern of abusive relationships, and the psychological factors that may have contributed to her actions. But most importantly, we remember John Price—not just as a victim, but as a father, a friend, and a man who was deeply loved by those around him.
Listener discretion is strongly advised.
