COMPROMISED - The Vanishing

news, commentary, society, culture, documentary · EN

July 1977 — a van behind a Griffith hotel, three .22 shells on the ground, and a man who never came home. Compromised: The Vanishing — a true-crime investigation that follows businessman and political candidate Donald Mackay’s disappearance and the secrets that swallowed it. Through lost files, silenced insiders, and the shadow of the Woodward Royal Commission, journalist-producer Stephen Johns exposes how Australia’s drug underworld bled into its corridors of power — and how the silence that followed became policy. Cinematic. Relentless. Unsettling. A must-listen journey through half-truths, broken justice, and the ghosts still haunting Griffith. Written, produced, and narrated by Stephen Johns. © Compromised Podcast Series. Hosted on Acast. See
