00:01Kia ora, my name is Toby Buchanan and you're listening to episode 7 of my true crime podcast
00:09Small Town Scandal. As of last episode, suspect numero uno and the murder of Uncle Mitch is his
00:19brother and my dad, Bruce Buchanan. He was at Uncle Mitch's the day he died. Hang on, what
00:29are you doing here? He said he went to see Uncle Mitch for help because he was there when his
00:33friend accidentally fell onto some rocks while they were boozing and having a boogie over an
00:37oz. And now dad's the prime suspect, especially considering his fingerprints are all over the
00:41mowers. My old school rival, Matt McKenzie, is now the town hero having nabbed to Hoyos Most Wanted.
00:48So now dad is in a holding cell at the local police station. Under suspicion of murder.
00:55And I know some people will be thinking I'm naive, not thinking that my dad is absolutely guilty.
01:11It was also about this time that I started to question if podcasting the whole thing was
01:16a good idea. But fortunately, unfortunately, the podcast was starting to take on a life of
01:21its own. Toby, what's this I hear about your dad getting arrested in relation to your uncle's
01:27death? How did you hear about that? Good journalist always has a rear to the ground.
01:31And how bloody fantastic is this? It's you, the podcaster, discovering his dad was the murderer.
01:39Everyone's got to talk about it. No, I don't know if it was him. I didn't think you liked the
01:43episode I sent you. Oh, we can totally edit around that. We'll have to move fast. That ridiculous
01:50can the real Mrs. Moth Please Stand Up podcast is hogging all the oxygen. But I think we
01:54can outdo it. Anyway, mate, you do your thing. Make it all tear-jerking. Get your dad crying
02:01on tape. Who doesn't love a good family drama? Hey, mate? I'm proud of you. And all that crap
02:10you got me into with a pet food article. Consider it water under the bridge. Well, when you win me
02:18a
02:18podcast award, we can consider it water under the bridge. How does that all sound, Tobes?
02:24Are you there, Tobes? Tobes? Oi, Tobes. Yeah, good. Great. Lock it in, Eddie.
02:40Excuse me, Meredith. Has my dad's court-appointed lawyer arrived? Not yet. Oh. Can I go and see him
02:49in the holding cell while I wait? Also, not yet. Feel free to take a seat while you wait.
03:12Hi. I'm David Patterson. Left a message on your hotline. I'm doing a podcast following the
03:19case of Mrs. Moth. You wait. Oh, yes. I'll let Matt know you're here. Okay, great. Yeah.
03:43I'm so sorry. I just want to say, you probably get this all the time, but I'm such a huge
03:47fan
03:48of your podcast. Good, man. Actually, I find it really inspirational because I'm doing my own
03:57podcast and just hearing you go through it all, it really inspires me. Great. Happy to help.
04:04Love my fans. Actually, how does it feel now that she's been caught? It's a bit of an anti-climax,
04:12if I'm honest. Just really hoping to be the one to crack the case, you know? Like I usually
04:16do. Kick it myself for not working it out earlier. Clues are hidden in plain sight. Anyway.
04:30Meredith, hi. I am here to see...
04:35Bruce Tree Cannon. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's the one. You him? I'm his son. Oh, hello. Hi,
04:42Misty Burrows. Sorry I'm late. Spilt Bertram Easey all over myself this morning. It sent me right
04:47back. Oh, right. All right. Shall we? Yeah. Cool. Okay. I'll go first. Okay. First things first.
05:03Uh, so, obviously, I don't want to know if you did it, but did you? Did you do it? Did
05:12you kill your brother? Well... Actually, no. Don't tell me. I do not want to know. But he
05:18didn't, right? He didn't kill him. Yeah. No. I didn't kill him. Okay. Sure. Hey, it doesn't
05:29matter what I think. I'm just a court-appointed lawyer. All right. Well, maybe we should have
05:34a look at your statement then, eh? Okay. Uh... Here you are. Okay. So, you said you saw a trailer
05:44driving away, and that was after he was killed, right? Yeah. I couldn't see a lot
05:49because I was inside the house when it happened. It was a horse trailer. A horse trailer? You
05:56didn't say it was a horse trailer, did it? And you didn't think to call the police, Bruce?
05:59Well, I freaked out. I tend to do that. I mean, you can understand how that looks pretty,
06:06Sasso, because normal people would call the police when they find a dead body, especially
06:11if it's their brother. Oh, of course. I just thought with the dead guy in Cairns.
06:15Hey, but what? What? Sorry. What dead guy in Cairns? We shouldn't talk about that, Dad.
06:21No, hang on. Did you kill a guy in Cairns? Okay. Oh, no. Okay. No. Do not tell me. I
06:28do not want
06:29to know. Do the cops know about this dead guy in Cairns? No, they don't. And they don't
06:35need to, right, Dad? It was a misunderstanding. Yeah. Complete misunderstanding. Oh, my God.
06:43Come on. We missed it. Yeah. What do you reckon? Well, you know, I'm not going to lie. I have
06:50got my work cut out for me with the two of you, eh? I mean, everything is just stacked against
06:56him. Anyway, is there anything we can do? Like, is there anything I can do? Well, short of
07:01a miracle. Oh, shit. I don't know. I guess if you could, like, find someone to maybe pin it on,
07:06that's a little bit more suspicious. That'd work. I've retried that. If only the police were such
07:12dickheads and they kept the case open, or at least kind of exhausted every possibility, you know?
07:16Yeah. Yeah. It sucks, eh? It's all right. You got this. Hmm. Anyway, I've really got to go.
07:27Party Club Awards to attend to. But don't you worry. I am going to call you as soon as I
07:33can, eh? If I get the time. Right? Otherwise, see you at the trial. You got this. You got
07:38this, all right? Okay. Kia kaha. Okay. Bye. Bye. Sure.
07:48Feeling completely demoralized, I thought I'd check in on Dad and his poorly surveilled holding
07:52himself. Misery likes company, after all. Dad. Here he is. How do you think it went with
08:01the loyal lady? And did she say anything after? No, not really. I didn't kill Mitchie. I can
08:09promise you that, son. Yeah, no, Dad. I don't think you did. Don't worry. It's because you're
08:15a suspicious-looking old fart. They'll lock you away for good just because of the way you
08:19look. Hello, Mrs. Pettigrew. You've got a nerve showing your face around here, Buchanan.
08:26I'm sorry I facilitated your arrest, but you did kill 23 people. 39. But they don't need
08:31to know about the rest. You're just lucky I'm not out and free because you would make
08:36a mighty fine 40th trophy. If you don't mind me asking, how did you get away with it for
08:43so long? 39. It's quite a remarkable number. It is. Well, I'd infiltrate my victims with
08:50my sweet smile, and then I'd kill them with kindness, and then I'd actually kill them with
08:56bullets. Cure them with kindness? That's what I said, you moron. I'll be bad, Dad. It's funny
09:06like that just like the brain, because, like, I saw the moth insignia on the spoon, and it
09:09just, everything fell into place. That's so cool. I can see that you're really proud of
09:14yourself. Tubbs, what are you doing back here? I'm in the middle of an important interview.
09:19We've actually probably got enough. Well, hold on. We haven't got into the rest of my career
09:23yet. I've got your number. I'll give you a call if I've got any other questions. Thanks
09:27so much for your time. It's a shame, mate. Off you run. Good to see you. Good on, Tubbs.
09:41Sorry. Hey, I was wondering if maybe I could talk to you about Uncle Mitch's case. No, actually
09:46we can't, because I don't have time, because I've got an interview with the Evening News
09:49about catching not one, but two murderers in one fell swoop. Wow. Congratulations about
09:55that, by the way. I don't think I've said that. I've been reading about you online.
09:59Everyone's like, whoa, you're the man who caught Mrs. Moff, and that's huge. Well done.
10:04What, um, what websites are those? What websites were they? I can't exactly remember,
10:10but there were about six, and then they were just like, they were saying you were real
10:13clever clogs. Anyway, and just on my dad, um, congratulations on that too, by the way.
10:19That's amazing. Yeah. And I know that you think he's guilty, and that he is guilty, and, um,
10:24um, but just to be sure, just for my peace of mind, I was wondering if there was any chance
10:29that maybe, um, just to be sure, well, you could, uh, put him through a lie detector test.
10:42Mate, those things don't work.
10:45Yeah. Well, maybe we could ask him about the horse trailer that he saw at the mansion.
10:50I was wondering if... Oh, no. He's obviously lying about that.
10:53With forensics, with his fingerprints on the lawnmowers...
10:56Doves! What's...
10:58What's going on here? I don't know how much clearer I can be.
11:01The case is C to the...
11:03Losed.
11:06It's closed, mate.
11:07The case is closed. The case is closed.
11:14You enjoy this, don't you?
11:17Enjoy what?
11:18That it's my dad that's been arrested.
11:21No, no, no. God, no. No.
11:25But maybe you've got a problem with being outsmarted.
11:29See, you always thought I was a bit of a dum-dum, didn't you?
11:33And here I am. I'm solving the crimes.
11:36I'm catching the crims.
11:40And I'm getting the girl.
11:48Anyway, I've got to get ready for this news interview that's coming up, so...
11:52Thanks for popping in, Tabs.
11:54Thank you, Matt.
11:56I don't know why I had to deal with the brunt of Matt McKenzie's hang-ups around having a genius
12:01scientist for a dad...
12:02...and having seven hyper-aggressive older sisters, but there you go.
12:07All I knew was the whole thing felt bloody hopeless.
12:12But then suddenly, out of nowhere, I suddenly remembered a hero of mine's wry observation.
12:19Closer. Hidden in plain sight.
12:21Hidden in plain sight?
12:23What am I missing?
12:26What's this on the side of the window?
12:33It was a horse trailer.
12:38Horse...
12:40...trailer.
12:43Horse trailer.
12:48No horse trailers on that day, either.
12:50Yeah, but wait.
12:52There, there's one.
12:53True, but that's driving onto the road at 7.30pm, two nights before your Uncle Mitch died.
12:58So unless they drove onto the road and camped down for two days...
13:00I don't think that's the murderer.
13:03It's like looking for a bloody needle in a haystack.
13:06Be here all night.
13:08Should I cook up some sausages?
13:10So the trailer was driven onto a dead-end road at 7.30pm, at night, two days before he died.
13:17And the next time we see him on CCTV footage is two days after he dies.
13:21Okay, so they were on the road for four days, which...
13:24Yeah, that is weird.
13:26Wait, so that means they live on this road?
13:29Yes.
13:30I mean, Dad said that he saw a trailer driving off shortly after Mitch died, right?
13:34But we don't see it on the CCTV, so that means that they...
13:36I mean, it's the only thing that makes sense, is that they live on this road.
13:39Wait, what's your Dad got to do with it?
13:42It doesn't matter.
13:43What matters is finding this horse trailer on this dead-end road.
13:47You do realise...
13:51This road is 10 kilometres long, right?
13:53And a lot of the farmers own horses and probably have trailers.
14:02Right, we're here.
14:04Yeah.
14:05Yeah.
14:05This one, they grow broccolini, so don't worry about them.
14:08Um, this one, they used to farm llamas, I think it was, and they got all rustled.
14:12Who lives on the dead-end?
14:13Who lives at the very end?
14:14I can't remember.
14:16I think I might start there.
14:17You're having some sort of six-sense experience right now?
14:19Maybe.
14:20But I think I'll start at the end and make my way back.
14:23Makes sense.
14:24Well, make sure you stop by on your way past for some sausages.
14:27I'd love that.
14:28You too.
14:30I drove to the end of Tamihana Road.
14:32Vague memories were pinging the whole time.
14:35I knew the stretch of road well.
14:57McKeith's Pet Foods?
14:59I remembered this place from my childhood.
15:02And was this the horse trailer that Dad saw leaving Uncle Mitch's death scene?
15:07It certainly looked like the one from the CCTV footage.
15:11But at that moment, all concerns for personal safety were clouded behind vague memories of
15:16childhood awkwardness.
15:19Inside, I found my old school friends.
15:26Dwayne and Wayne McKeith.
15:38Oh, hi, Toby.
15:39I am so sorry about that.
15:41I let myself in.
15:42I did knock on the door, but I don't know if you heard me above your self-flagellating.
15:46You guys are really busy.
15:46I should...
15:47No.
15:48No, I do.
15:49I actually do need to talk to you guys.
15:51Yeah, we're almost done.
15:52You're almost done?
15:52Yeah, grab a seat.
15:53Fire away.
15:54Fire away, mate.
15:57That's Mum.
16:00We're lost in the wilderness without her.
16:03Oh, I'm so sorry, guys, about that.
16:07Because I was suddenly remembering when I was pulling up, I used to come here and play as a kid
16:10sometimes, right?
16:11We used to catch frogs and eat them.
16:14That's right.
16:15That was fun.
16:17But listen, guys, I won't take out much more of your time.
16:19I was just going to ask you a couple of questions, if that's okay.
16:24We've been expecting this.
16:25We didn't kill him, no?
16:28You didn't kill...
16:28We didn't kill him.
16:29Keep it cool, Wayne-o.
16:32Okay, look.
16:35I won't tell anyone anything, right?
16:38But if you guys didn't kill Uncle Mitch, I need to know who did.
16:42Because at the moment, they think it's my dad, and he can't go back into prison.
16:48But if it is my dad, I do need to know is that.
16:50I need to know that as well.
16:51So was it my dad that killed Uncle Mitch?
16:55It's still out there.
17:00What is?
17:01The demon that killed.
17:05Sorry, it was?
17:06It was a demon.
17:09A demon killed Uncle Mitch?
17:13Well, what did this demon look like?
17:16It had glowing eyes.
17:20Right.
17:22But it was a person, right?
17:24It was a demon straight from a hill.
17:27Okay.
17:27Well, whether it was a demon or a person...
17:30It was a demon called Azazel.
17:32The thing is, though, it wasn't my dad, right?
17:34So what we need to do is we need to go to the police station right now
17:37and we need to tell them that my dad is innocent.
17:38No.
17:41They'll arrest us for the marijuana we've been growing.
17:45I can't go back to prison.
17:46I'm not bound for it.
17:47Sorry, Toby.
17:48Dwayne, yeah, Dwayne.
17:49Prison sucks.
17:50I can't go back there.
17:51No, Dwayne.
17:54Dwayne, we've got to go to the police.
17:55Azazel walks amongst us.
17:57The police is my dad, Dwayne.
17:59Be careful.
18:00Don't tell them I'll see if I come for you next.
18:04Well, whether it was a demon or a person who was a demon,
18:09straight from hell.
18:10And the demon's name is apparently Azazel
18:13and he's often depicted with glowing eyes.
18:15So I reckon we get the guys in and we just question them and...
18:20So McKeith boys are absolute loons.
18:23And I've smoked way too much ganja over the years.
18:26I'm not getting involved with that.
18:27Look, I know you think it's stupid, but maybe we should just check...
18:30You honestly believe they saw a demon?
18:34Well, I believe it is a possibility and I believe that maybe this person is not my dad.
18:40Maybe we should get the Azazel character in and just ask him a few questions.
18:43Yeah, and maybe you should talk to your lawyer and they can bring it up in court.
18:47And that'll get your dad off for murder.
18:54Ah, Azazel.
19:01I believe you.
19:05But it ain't no demon you're looking for.
19:19Where are you taking me?
19:21No one comes in here because the office has gone paperless, so a stationary room is pointless.
19:27Aliens regularly visit to Hoiho.
19:30Everyone knows of that.
19:31Getting the evidence that is the hard part, my friend.
19:35Behold a creature not of this world.
19:38Was that a fantail?
19:39At night?
19:40Come off it.
19:42Okay.
19:44How about this one?
19:47Right, that's just the Starlink satellite.
19:49Everyone gets confused by that one, so...
19:51It's not the Starlink satellite, smartass.
19:55Okay, sure.
19:56Listen, I can't actually stay for very long.
19:57I'd better go.
19:58Hold on.
19:59Call your checks.
20:00How about this one?
20:08Where did that one come from?
20:09It's a grey, from the Zeta reticuli star system.
20:14No, no, no, the footage.
20:15What was this recorded on?
20:18Buchananiser automated lawnmower.
20:21The Buchananisers have cameras?
20:23Yes, sir.
20:26The Buchananisers!
20:30The Buchananisers might have filmed who killed Uncle Mitch.
