Episode The Third Finger: Why He Quit the Force
The Third Finger: Why He Quit the Force Three bloody fingers were found neatly arranged on a cellar floor. Two belonged to a police officer, but the third finger has never been identified, a detail that has haunted investigators and readers of Paul Cooper's account. What happened inside the house that night to change a 33-year veteran's life forever? In this episode, we revisit the chilling account of Senior Constable Paul Cooper, who, on November 21st, responded to a routine call at an unoccupied property outside Junee.
