For 10 Years Paul Has Been Hunting His Daughter's Killer

From True Crime Conversations Mamamia Podcasts

Melbourne woman Elly Warren was a seasoned traveller, despite only being 20 years old.

In 2016, she travelled to Mozambique, Africa, on a month long trip volunteering in marine conservation. Just days before she was due to return to Australia, Elly's body was found at Tofo beach.

The circumstances around her death have never made sense, but after getting limited help from both Australian and Mozambique authorities, Elly's dad Paul has taken it upon himself to investigate and hunt for a killer.

Over the past ten years he has spent countless hours discovering new evidence, inconsistencies in official reports and forensic findings.

In this episode of True Crime Conversations, Paul talks Gemma Bath through Elly's final moments, the evidence that points to homicide, and his heartbreak as he still, all these years later, fights for justice for his little girl.
