Robert Berchtold's reign of terror on the Broberg family - True Crime Compendium

This is an unlocked episode of Australian True Crime Plus. To access all ATC Plus episodes, plus ad free and early listening of all Australian True Crime episodes, you can subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

The story of Robert Berchtold's double kidnapping of Jan Broberg is so bizarre and tragic, that you may find it unbelievable.

In the 1970s, Jan Broberg was kidnapped twice by family friend, Robert Berchtold. First when she was 12, and again when she was 14.

She was abducted twice because after the first time, Jan's parents signed affidavits stating they'd given Berchtold consent to take Jan away with him, which was a lie.

Although we may think we have come a long way from the culture that played a part in this horrifying story, when it comes to childhood sexual assault, the statistics haven't changed.

Some audio from this episode has been taken from "A Friend of the Family", a new True Crime series coming exclusively to 7plus on October 25, 2023.
