July 28th 2024.
It was a beautiful Saturday, April 16, 1994 when Anthea Bradshaw exchanged vows with her high school sweetheart, Jeff Hall. The newlyweds were filled with joy and love as they embarked on their journey as a married couple.
However, just 96 days later, their happiness was shattered when Anthea was brutally murdered while living in Brunei, South East Asia. Despite the passage of 30 years, her murder remains a mystery and her family is still heartbroken, unable to find closure or answers.
Ben Avery, a reporter with 9News, has been dedicated to uncovering the truth behind Anthea's murder for over a decade. In his podcast investigation, "Just Married: The Anthea Bradshaw Mystery," in partnership with 9News and 9Podcasts, Ben is determined to find justice for Anthea and her family.
For Avery, this is more than just a compelling case, it is a personal mission to bring closure to a grieving family who have been left in the dark about what really happened to their beloved daughter and sister.
Despite their efforts to move on, grief still consumes the Bradshaw family. Anthea's mother, Ros, continues to feel unimaginable pain and believes that the person responsible for her daughter's murder must be held accountable. "It's an existence. Someone has to suffer for murdering her. You can't do this in life and just get away with that," she says.
To those who knew and loved her, Anthea was a kind and vibrant young woman, full of promise and potential. She had recently followed her husband to Brunei for a job opportunity, leaving her family behind in Australia.
Tragically, the day before she was set to return home, Anthea's life was taken. Her father, Martin, remembers the moment he received the devastating news. "I heard the phone go, I heard Ros answer the phone...she was screaming. By the time I got down to the kitchen, Ros was in the corner on the floor in the fetal position, just rocking back and forth. I was perfectly calm and lucid...until I looked down and realized I had urinated in my trousers."
Anthea's body was discovered by her husband in their third floor apartment in a gated community. The question of who would want to harm her and why has haunted her loved ones ever since.
Despite the efforts of local police in Brunei, South Australia, and the Australian Federal Police, no suspect has been identified and the case remains unsolved. But Ben Avery and the team at 9News are determined to keep searching for answers and bring justice to Anthea's memory.
