Episode 2: Sweating Bullets

THE AUSTRALIAN
About this episode

Police detectives talk to Shandee’s former boyfriend, John Peros, who discloses his trust issues, their arguments, problems in the bedroom and break-up. John willingly goes to the police station to make a statement, but he declines to give a sample of his DNA.

One of the detectives describes John as very nervous - he tells another cop in a recorded chat at the station that John is ‘sweating bullets’.

Jarrod Hau discloses how he warned Shandee and John when they got together to keep their relationship casual.
