In episode #336 of Australian True Crime, we spoke to Lily Greer, whose mother, Tina Greer, disappeared from her beachfront home in the Gold Coast Hinterland in 2012.


After we published that episode, the Brisbane Coroner held an inquest into Tina's death. The coroner found that Tina Greer had been the victim of domestic violence at the hands of her partner, Les Sharman, and that he ultimately took her life.


Sharman, a member of the Finks Motorcycle Club, died in a car accident in 2018. Lily joins us again to talk about the inquest and its effect on her life.
