After the news broke earlier this week that police had been called by a participant of Married At First Sight 2027 following a revenge porn ambush by producers, here's what is happening now and how it all went down.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this podcast you hear what happened last week as I attended the NSW Parliamentary Inquiry into unsolved murders and long-term missing persons cases where Katie Walker was used an example into present day police failures. The entire day was heartbreaking, infuriating and eye opening into what Katie is sadly now part of.  I also speak to Sally Leydon, the daughter of missing person Marion Barter, who you some of you may know from podcasts The Lady Vanishes or The Missing Matter, about proposed police reform.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After his split from Stella earlier this year, Filip has re-launched his YouTube channel and is pushing an anti-relationship, anti-woman and dangerous rhetoric that plays into misogyny and the manosphere. In this episode I break down what he’s saying, how there’s a financial motive attached to his views and how the rest of the cast, including Stella, are reacting to what feels like a new person to the one we watched on TV. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As Katie Walker’s story continues to reach more people, a growing number have questioned if she could have intentionally disappeared and is choosing to stay hidden. In this episode, after much research into previous cases like this around the world, I discuss why myself, and Katie’s family, do not believe this theory. I also discuss the Parliamentary Inquiry that is happening in New South Wales tomorrow where Sally Leydon, the daughter of longterm missing person Marion Barter, will share Katie’s story. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As one couple are kicked off the show, another groom is dubbed the future 'most hated man in Australia' and four cast members have previously dated each other, in this episode I look at what's happening on-set of Married At First Sight 2027 and what we can expect from the upcoming 14th series.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As I await a response from NSW Premier Chris Minns on how he can help Katie Walker by raising her case with the Police Commissioner, this week I look at the eerily similar disappearance of 28-year-old Melody O’Gara (pictured) – who was last seen in the exact same spot as Katie in 2004.   The Tamarama location isn’t the only thing Melody and Katie’s disappearances have in common, which is what left Katie’s brother “freaked out” as I shared this story with him after it was first sent to me by a lovely listener. I spent several days this week questioning if I share Melody’s story and if it’s relevant? Or if we’re simply now clutching at anything in the hope it’ll bring… something? Ultimately, I decided that even if this isn’t related to Katie, despite the similarities, at the very least this podcast today will help keep Melody O’Gara’s memory alive.

After months of silence, NSW Police Media Unit finally respond to me about Katie Walker's disappearance - and what they say, and the reason I believe they decided to finally reply, will infuriate you. Australian radio star Kyle Sandilands also backs my investigation and helps me speak to NSW Premier Chris Minns who has now publicly promised to raise this with Police Commissioner of New South Wales.  In this episode, I also become emotional while explaining why Katie Walker's story resonates so much with me - and why I won't give up trying to find answers.  If you have any information that may help†, please DM me on Instagram @jshfx1  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We start this episode with Katie Walker reading from her own book – an extract that is now chilling to hear knowing what happened before she got chance to finish writing. I then discuss the significance of Dubai in the story of her disappearance and how a human trafficking operation potentially first targeted Katie in Sedona and could be behind everything.  Throughout this series, and especially these last two episodes, i've struggled to make sense of everything I've been told and put it all into a script that'd make sense for you guys to follow - and that's because, more than ever with this story, I've realised so much doesn't make sense and it often feels impossible to piece together... hence why Katie is sadly still missing.  If you know anything, please contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 and PROOF INVESTIGATIONS.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Before I get to why Katie Walker’s friends and family now believe she was potentially targeted by a human trafficking operation, in this episode I take you back 10 years to Costa Rica when Katie’s search for solace led to her being persuaded to take psychedelic drugs as part of a ritual that promised her a spiritual awakening. It was this trip that friends say changed the trajectory of Katie’s life and led to more darkness than enlightenment.  Plus, in this episode I introduce you to Katie’s second husband Dean Taraborelli, who claims to make ‘miracles’ at the sanctuary he owns in Sedona, which Katie lived at for six years up until late 2023. The next episode will be out on Monday.  If you know anything, please contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 and PROOF INVESTIGATIONS. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It has now been 117 days since Katie Walker was last seen in Sydney's Tamarama - and this week, a lot has happened. A new person has come forward and their claims have led to a huge development which, in our opinion, finally and definitively, prove that Katie Walker did not end her life.  If you know anything, please contact Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 and PROOF INVESTIGATIONS. ______ Katie Walker, 46, was last seen in Sydney's Tamarama at 1:12pm on May 23, 2026.  In articles several weeks ago now, the press wrongly identified the mum-of-two as a "Married At First Sight Australia producer" and described the wrong woman. They confused Katie Walker with Kate Walker, who works in TV. Since then, some outlets have quietly deleted their stories and there has been zero further coverage. The real Katie's story has now been ignored by all mainstream media. I (Joshua Fox) have spent a week now speaking to Katie's frustrated friends and family, and promised them I'd use my platforms to get her face and story out there that'll hopefully lead to new information. Plus, I've been speaking the private investigator they've hired to also try and find answers I'll be documenting our progress on this new podcast, The disappearance of Katie Walker, as well as on my Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.  NOTE: NSW Police have now issued two public appeals for information and their investigation is active.  More details at helpfindkatie.com  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After bride Rebecca Zukowski recently went viral as she broke down while revealing she'd been followed from her home by a strange man, in this episode I discuss the rise of suspected trafficking across Australia and why this topic has been something I was already investigating before I came across the stories I share here. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As Married At First Sight 2027 continues filming in Sydney, I've found out the unthinkable has finally happened as two cast members rebel against producers and call the shots on their controversial storyline. Plus, Rhi talks about her split from Jeff, I talk about my split from [redacted] and Lucinda Light is lighting up the world.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As production for Married At First Sight 2027 continues in Sydney, John Aiken has branded this the most "extreme" season so far.

I'm recording this podcast live outside of the second Married At First Sight 2027 dinner party as all of the cast arrive around me. Here's what's happening on the show so far, the new rules introduced by producers and why it isn't off to a great start...  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
