My William, Screen Addiction
F1
My William, Screen AddictionIt remains one of the most baffling cases in Australian criminal history. For the first-time, Karlie Tyrrell speaks exclusively to Sunday Night about the disappearance of her son, who vanished from his foster grandmother’s home in September, 2014. We are well and truly in the grip of the digital age. We are turning into a society of mindless zombies staring at our phones. Turns out there's a reason for it… we're being hooked.
The Fall
F2
The FallBree Robinson had every reason to live. The vivacious 21-year-old had landed her dream job as a cheerleader with the Gold Coast Titans. She was over the moon, according to her family. Yet, late one evening, Bree plunged to her death from her 11th floor balcony. Bree’s boyfriend, Dan Shearin, was the only person in the apartment with her when it happened.

The Fugitive, Hooked, Reach for the Sky
F4
The Fugitive, Hooked, Reach for the SkyFor 20 years, Lee Barnett was on the run from police, a wanted woman. Caught up in a fierce custody battle, she kidnapped her baby daughter and fled the US, criss-crossing three continents to evade capture. Lee finally settled on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, and got on with her life … until the FBI turned up on her doorstep. Now, for the first time since being released from prison, Lee is able to tell the full story of her life as a fugitive … a secret hidden from even her own children. From the outside looking in, rugby league legend Matt Cooper has it all – a beautiful wife, two healthy girls, a luxurious home and a place in Australian sporting history. But until recently, Matt had a dark secret – a secret that almost cost him everything. He was hiding a severe addiction to prescription drugs. Opioid addiction doesn’t discriminate, hundreds of Australians die every year, and thousands more are hopelessly hooked on strong pain killers. From superstars like actor Heath Ledger to everyday mums. Andy Hensel was a high-flying freestyle motocross star, fearless and always up for a challenge. But six years ago, his dream run came to a tragic end. Andy took off up a ramp hurtling more than 20 metres in the air, and missed the landing. He crashed the bike, broke his back and crushed his spinal cord. The accident left him a paraplegic. Enough, you’d think, to ground him forever. Not Andy. Sunday Night is there as he bravely attempts to fly again.
