This is a "Shortcut" episode. It\\u2019s a shortened version of this week\\u2019s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

Our guest today is Boyd Unwin, a suburban tradie and father of three in his fifties, who\'s always thought of himself and his family as the epitome of normal and unremarkable.

Boyd has committed himself to understanding how he lost his daughter, Katie Haley, to her partner five years ago. Boyd and his wife Tania are now raising the child their daughter shared with her murderer. And bit by bit, they\'ll have to explain to that child why neither of her parents can be with her. They\'re doing this at a time when they thought they\'d be settling into retirement and enjoying being grandparents.

The Unwin\'s are determined to open the eyes of other normal families to what they now see were red flags in Katie\'s relationship. They\'d all grown to dislike her partner, but none of them believed she was in mortal danger in her home. If they had, they\'d never have allowed her and her kids to be in that home for a single second, and that\'s the very important message Boyd wants us all to hear.
