SERIES 9 - DIAGNOSIS OF A CRIME: Imagine being told that what’s wrong with your child isn’t an illness or an accident, but a crime. From the team behind The Boy in the Water and Fractured, Diagnosis of a Crime takes you inside the lives of families torn apart by a medical diagnosis. Join us for Melanie Reid’s latest groundbreaking investigation, where medicine and law combine, and nothing is quite what it seems.


SERIES 8 - THE BOY IN THE WATER SEASON 4: Melanie Reid takes listeners right inside the Invercargill courthouse for every moment as the Coroner delivers his long-awaited findings into the mysterious death of Gore three-year-old Lachie Jones.


SERIES 4 & 7 - FRACTURED SEASONS 1 & 2: A baby taken, a mother jailed, a couple forced apart and facing deportation without their daughter. Crushed by the weight of multiple government departments working in lockstep, what happens when the dream of a new country becomes an unimaginable nightmare? In this new investigation, Melanie Reid and her team take the x-rays that were used to convict a young mother and put them before international experts, who tell us this case is just the tip of the iceberg of a factitious medical phenomenon leading to injustice around the globe.


SERIES 6 - SATANIC PANIC: Peter Ellis, the Creche Case & Me: In never-before-heard interviews, this gripping series takes you inside one of New Zealand’s most controversial legal cases, when a kind of madness gripped Christchurch, resulting in a miscarriage of justice that would take 30 years to put right. Satanic Panic is the first Melanie Reid podcast, now re-released and available on DELVE.


SERIES 5 - POWDER KEG: Some stories grow from a green shoot; some explode like a powder keg. The global supplement market is worth $200 billion a year, and Chris Ashenden is a rock star of the industry. Investigative journalist Jonathan Milne wanted to tell his story – but when Chris proved elusive, alarm bells began to ring. Listen to a story that will entangle the biggest names in audio, from Joe Rogan to Andrew Huberman. We follow the money, dig into the crimes, commission our own lab analysis and chase down AG1’s founder to tell the story he didn’t want told. 


SERIES 1-3 - THE BOY IN THE WATER SEASONS 1-3: Melanie Reid's chart topping podcast takes you inside a small town harbouring a big mystery. After the lifeless body of three-year-old Lachie Jones is found floating in an oxidation pond in the Southland town of Gore, police rule his death a tragic accident. But nothing is what it seems. Melanie has spent three years covering this case, revealing multiple flaws in the police investigation and uncovering new evidence that casts serious doubt about the circumstances surrounding Lachie’s death. In The Boy in the Water, Melanie unravels the case – and the secrets – in an attempt to find out what really happened to little Lachie Jones.

This latest Melanie Reid investigation is about medicine diagnosing a crime, and what happens to ordinary New Zealand families as a result.

Step into the gripping world of Fractured, the acclaimed investigative podcast from Melanie Reid, as it returns for its second season.


In season 1 we uncovered the harrowing story of a controversial medical diagnosis from a New Zealand hospital, and the devastating chain of events that followed.


A baby taken. A mother jailed. A family torn apart. And a couple facing deportation without their daughter.


Crushed under the immense pressure of government departments working in unison, this is the story of how the dream of starting fresh in a new country spiralled into an unimaginable nightmare.


In this hard-hitting second season, Melanie Reid and her team take the x-rays that were used to convict a young mother and put them before international experts. Their findings challenge the Starship doctors’ original diagnosis, and ask whether there is a troubling pattern with a medical hypothesis that has led to wrongful convictions around the globe.

  

Fractured Season Two doesn’t just tell one family’s story, it reveals a chilling phenomenon that could have far-reaching consequences.

Also available to read today on newsroom.co.nz is an update on the couple at the centre of our Fractured case.


As mentioned in this episode, here are 33 different medical conditions that could be misdiagnosed as Shaken Baby Syndrome:


Sickle cell anemia, Meningitis, Vitamin C deficiency, Vitamin D deficiency, Vitamin K deficiency, Lobstein syndrome, Glutaric aciduria, Thrombocytopenia, Cryoglobulinemia, Reye's syndrome, Hemophilia, Dysphagic choking, Marfan syndrome, Von Willebrand's disease, Vascular malformations, Bacterial infections, Viral infections, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Menkes disease, Rickets, Terson syndrome, Osteogenesis imperfecta, Homocystinuria, Sudden respiratory distress, Venous thrombosis, Rebleed of a hematoma,  Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, Allagille syndrome, Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, Congenital heart disease, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, Henoch-Schonlein purpura, Other natural or accidental causes.

And what happens next is what Powder Keg, the podcast, is all about – Ashenden, his unorthodox billion-dollar business and his magical mystery powder. 

 

All we know is that his company AG1 is headquartered at an address in Carson City, Nevada. If it comes to the crunch and he doesn’t front, we’ll need to go there to talk with the company’s founder.

 

What we didn’t know is the story of criminal offending that will emerge – a story that Chris the Kiwi didn’t want told.

Chris has an unrelenting personal ambition – it’s served him well. The business leader’s quest wasn’t for the Holy Grail, it was for a holy green drink.

 

Jonathan is an investigative journalist. What’s served him well is his doggedness. And when Chris wouldn’t front for an interview about the success of his green powder shake and his US$1.2 billion company, Jonathan began asking questions. 

 

At first, Chris’s AG1 supplement had been targeted at sportspeople and gym freaks – but by last year, we reveal he’d rebranded to target the widest possible market of middle-America…desk-bound 30- or 40-something mums and dads, anxious to get back in shape.

In the latest electrifying podcast from DELVE, we investigate the superstar endorsements, the science and the safety of the world’s favourite green powder, AG1. Listen to a story that will entangle the biggest names in audio, from Joe Rogan to Andrew Huberman to Gwyneth Paltrow. We follow the money, dig into the crimes and commission our own lab analysis.

DELVE presents the new in-depth podcast from Melanie Reid Investigates about a controversial medical diagnosis from a New Zealand hospital and the cascade of events that followed. 

 

A baby taken, a mother jailed, a couple forced apart and facing deportation without their daughter. 

 

Crushed by the weight of multiple government departments working in lockstep, what happens when the dream of a new country becomes an unimaginable nightmare? 

 

In this new investigation, Melanie Reid and her team take the x-rays that were used to convict a young mother and put them before international experts, who tell us this case is just the tip of the iceberg of a factitious medical phenomenon leading to injustice around the globe.

Listen as we follow the coronial inquest into the death of three-and-a-half year old Lachlan Jones, whose lifeless body was found face up in a sewage oxidation pond in the small town of Gore in January 2019.

We have been covering this case for more than four years now. In Season One we revealed multiple flaws in the police investigation and uncovered new evidence that cast serious doubt about the circumstances surrounding Lachie’s death. Then, in August 2023, the coroner announced he would be holding an inquest into Lachie’s death.

In Season Two, we take you directly inside the courtroom during the inquest to hear the voices and evidence of the key people involved in this gripping case.

Melanie and her team will be travelling to Invercargill at the bottom of New Zealand’s South Island to cover the three-week inquest in May 2024, followed by another two weeks in August. 

Season Two of The Boy In The Water is coming soon to newsroom.co.nz and wherever you get your podcasts.
