Pop Star Blues; Nightmare on Alva Beach

Pop Star Blues
Twenty-five years ago, Vanessa Amorosi wowed the world with her powerful performances at both the Opening and Closing ceremonies of the Sydney Olympic Games. Back then she was 19, starting out on what would become a brilliant career. Outwardly, Vanessa wore her success, along with the wealth that fame brought, with ease. But behind the scenes, not everything was shiny. For the past decade the pop star has been locked in a bitter financial dispute with her own mother. As Nine's Tracy Grimshaw reports, it's something Vanessa has not spoken about publicly, until now.

Nightmare on Alva Beach
One night. Five strangers. Many drinks. Two dead. What occurred seven years ago at the tiny settlement of Alva Beach in North Queensland simply shouldn't have. It began innocently enough with a small, impromptu beach party, but somehow, hours later, became a frantic search for an injured woman, which led to a home invasion that ended with a teenager stabbing two men to death. For the first police officers called to this nightmare, the scene that confronted them could not have been more chaotic or confusing. On 60 Minutes, Adam Hegarty meets one of those officers who reveals why, all these years later, he remains deeply troubled by what he believes was a flawed investigation into that bizarre and tragic night.
