A Kiwi Teen Almost Killed the Queen. Kia Ora cuz! - #112

In 1981, a psychopathic New Zealand teenager came very close to assassinating Queen Elizabeth. Embarrassed police not only covered it up but sent him away to Australia, a free man. Why haven't we seen that on the Crown? Former high-ranking New Zealand Detective, now Gold Coast retiree Tom Lewis tried to tell the world and was driven out of his homeland. He and his granddaughter Maria join us to tell the incredible story that's now the subject of a major corruption investigation in New Zealand.Warning: please be advised this episode contains graphic content.Show notes for Episode 112:Your hosts are Meshel Laurie and Emily WebbWith thanks to Tom and Maria LewisLike us on Facebook ​Follow us on Instagram or TwitterSupport us on PatreonTom Lewis' book Cover Ups and Cop Outs is not currently available.Listen on Apple PodcastsListen on Google PodcastsListen on SpotifyIf you have any information on the cases covered by this podcast, please contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
