Meet the lawyer guiding the Dear Rachelle team through the legal challenges of Rachelle Childs’ cold case. In this bonus episode, host Ashlea Hansen speaks to Justin Quill, a partner at Thomson Geer who has advised the podcast from the beginning. Justin reveals the careful legal checks behind every episode, from managing defamation risk to handling sensitive interviews.

They explore key developments, including modern phone data that undermined the alibi of main suspect Kevin Steven Correll, and interviews with his daughter and ex-wife. Justin also shares why he hopes the coroner will re-open the inquest into Rachelle’s death.
