Troubled Waters

Troubled Waters is a 10-part ground-breaking podcast exploring the untold story of Louisa Ioannidis' tragic and mysterious death in 2011. Louisa Ioannidis was only 24. Beautiful, courageous, and vulnerable, yet her untimely death barely received a two-line report in a small local newspaper. Her body was discovered by passers-by in a local creek, clad in a pink dressing gown. Despite being a strong swimmer, police quickly determined there were no suspicious circumstances. Yet no one has been able to explain how or why she came to enter the creek.


Louisa’s brother Tass has always doubted the findings and is desperate for answers.


Over a decade after Louisa’s death, Private Investigator Julia Robson embarks on a fresh investigation and explores the full story of Louisa’s short life and the events leading up to her tragic passing. Together with Producer Clare McGrath, they uncover a gripping narrative full of intrigue. From an international kidnapping, a daring escape and a family’s desperate bid to stay together, it all unravels into a downward spiral exacerbated by a toxic relationship, all the while revealing flaws in a family violence support system that desperately needs fixing.

    The point
    I feel as though the point is shining light on stories like Louisa’s in hopes that it will help get people who do know something to come forward. For me, we have to get away from the mere entertainment value of a real life tragedy and remember this was a person with a family and friends who had a right to live. Just because there hasn’t been resolution does not at all mean the story should remain untold. I think it’s even more vital to share when those are the circumstances. Thank you for telling this story, and I look forward to what comes next as I know this is not the end.
  • Quel the belle
    Ghastly
    Listening to this relentless account of endless abuse is self abuse.

    Relentlessly depressing
    Domestic violence and coercive control leading from the start to a terrible end with no real resolution. I had to stop listening because it was just relentlessly depressing. I’m not sure what the point of this kind of podcast is, unless there are people out there who are unaware of how terrible some people can treat other people. It’s a tragic story that is all too familiar and I failed to see how this podcast contributed anything new other than the sad and grotesquely abusive story of Louisa’s childhood.
