True crime writer fights to unlock cold case answers in Adelaide
Journalist Debi Marshall is fighting to lift suppression orders in Adelaide's unsolved family murders case.
Marshall has written six true crime books. One was the basis for the film Snowtown.
Marshall's work has drawn attention to killers years before charges. Marshall chronicled Leonard Warick, the Family Court bomber, and baby Deidre Kennedy's 1973 murder.

But she can't walk away from this one. Marshall says suppression orders are blocking answers that could solve the murders.
