Chris Dawson jailed for wife’s murder

Her body was never found and there were few leads in the case until 2018, when “The Teacher’s Pet” podcast sparked renewed public interest and, ultimately, a new police investigation.

The murder had been prompted by Dawson’s “possessive infatuation” with his former student, which led him to kill his wife, Judge Ian Harrison said Friday as he announced the 24-year prison sentence.

There is a non-parole period of 18 years.

“Mr. Dawson is not old by contemporary standards, but he will not live to see the end of his non-parole term,” Harrison said.

Dawson strenuously maintained his innocence throughout the trial.

“The Teacher’s Pet” was hosted by journalist Hedley Thomas, and a few months after its first episodes released, Dawson was arrested in December 2018.

He drew comparisons to America’s genre-defining podcast “Serial,” which played a pivotal role in getting a man’s conviction overturned for murdering his girlfriend.

Greg Simms, Lynette Dawson’s brother, thanked Thomas on Friday.

“I look forward to the media and the police working collaboratively on future cases,” Simms said outside court after the sentencing. “It’s our time to start living our lives without having this on our heads.”
