He’s sending a tirade of manipulative, abusive messages every step of the way. Only he knows of the violence he’ll inflict when he arrives - and tragically, countless life-saving warning signs have already been missed.
In this powerful two-part documentary, Bethany’s family tell the story of how this loving mother-of-two started a relationship with Daniel Boulton with no idea of his violent past.
As they begin to see signs of coercive control, abuse and violence, Boulton is forcing Bethany further away from safety. Unbeknown to them, he is also missing parole meetings, breaking restraining orders and confessing a hatred of Bethany’s oldest son.
There’s a further tragedy in this case, revealed by retired homicide detective Russell Wate. His investigations reveal that parole officers, the police, health workers and other agencies were aware of Boulton’s past and deteriorating behaviour – but could not keep Bethany safe.
Through the emotional interviews with Bethany’s mum, dad and sister, plus blow-by-blow revelations of both Russell Wate and Boulton’s prosecuting barrister Katherine Goddard KC, this two-part documentary reveals the tragedy of Bethany Vincent’s story – and the extra pain caused when her family learn that it could have been prevented.
