Shirley Singh and her husband were in Fiji attending a family wedding when a ’phone call in the early hours from Queensland Police informed her that three of her four children had been found dead—murdered—in the family home.
In Shirley’s Story, journalist and author Emily Eklund Power tells the story of every parent’s worst nightmare and what Shirley Singh had to endure to bring the perpetrator to justice. Strong, sassy, passionate, and loving, Shirley depended on her love for her children, her faith in God, and her decision to keep a ‘clean state of mind’ to overcome alcohol and substance abuse while battling mental illness to help catch the killer. When her only surviving child died of a brain aneurysm in February 2020, Shirley was once again forced to dig deep, finding strength in memories captured over 43 years.
Shirley Singh joins Emily in conversation with Lia Harris.
