Case 316 Gilbert Bogle & Margaret Chandler

When the bodies of Doctor Gilbert Bogle and Margaret Chandler were found along the banks of Sydney’s Lane Cove River on New Year’s Day 1963, scandal and suspicion erupted. The two were married – but not to each other – raising immediate questions of foul play.

Yet as investigators peeled back the layers of this bizarre case, they found themselves tangled in a mystery far stranger than anyone had imagined.
