Ep. 059 | The Murder of Grace Millane

Grace Emmie Rose Millane, a 22-year-old British tourist on a gap‑year trip in New Zealand, disappeared on the evening of December 1, 2018, after she left a Tinder date in Auckland—her body was discovered in a suitcase a day later in the Waitākere Ranges

The man she met, Jesse Shane Kempson (26 at the time), was arrested on December 8 and later convicted in November 2019 of murdering her by strangulation; he claimed it was consensual “rough sex” that accidentally caused her death—a defense widely condemned as victim-blaming.

Kempson received life imprisonment with a minimum of 17 years before parole, his appeal was dismissed in December 2020, and the case continues to spark discussion around violence against women and the problematic “rough sex” defense.
