5 | A Boy Named Kevin

Rotten Apple

If you say the name of certain people in Tasmania, you’ll get a knowing look and a hushed voice. This businessman is one of them. He and a set of 90s mates ran inner-city Hobart and they had a system. They would take children from foster homes for ‘treats’ and put them back.  One is Kevin - another is Gareth - both are dead. The men who had them weren’t official carers, but they apparently had a bible in hand. Did they gain access through the church - or their sparkling reputations?
