Three men were later jailed for the murders of 12 people, in one of the longest and most publicised trails in Australian history. And our guest had front-row seats to the whole saga.Gordon Drage is a former-senior constable with the South Australian police. He'd been sent to Snowtown to investigate stolen property, only to accidentally stumble across the bank vault. He tells us what it was like, and how the experience affected him in the years after.
