An unofficial Crime Writers On...online resource and community site.
After New Zealander Greg Wards married an American, she convinced him to open a cafe in a resort town. He’d learn that Lezlie Manukian forged bank documents, stole money, and made off with his parents’ life savings. Years later, Kiwi journalist Ollie Wards examined his family’s efforts to locate Lezlie. Wards picked up the search and discovered a trail of more fraud, cover stories, and victims.
“Snowball” is from the Unravel Podcast team at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and is being redistributed in the feed for Pushkin’s “Deep Cover” series. Part family profile, part shoe-leather investigation, “Snowball” follows Wards’ attempt to reconstruct how his family was brought to financial ruin and what happened to the woman who caused it all.
