E24 | Aramoana - Pathway to the Sea

The episode examines the Aramoana massacre, one of New Zealand’s deadliest mass shootings. Over 36 hours in November 1990, gunman David Gray killed 13 people in the small coastal settlement of Aramoana. The story traces how an isolated dispute escalated into extreme violence, the fear that gripped the community, and the police response that ultimately ended the siege. It also explores the lasting impact on survivors and how the tragedy reshaped New Zealand’s approach to firearms, public safety, and collective memory.

While some dramatic license is taken during the retelling of these stories, but you can be sure that these true crime stories are all based 100% on real events and facts.
