60 Minutes on Channel 9 and 9Now S47E21- with reports from Christine Ahern and Amelia Adams will air Sunday 22 June at 8.40pm on 9 and 9Now.
MURDER IN PARADISE
The words Fiji and murder are rarely used in the same sentence. Similarly, five-star luxury resorts are seldom the scene of violent crimes. Tragically though, the stabbing death of Australian man Jason Rigby in the tourist town of Nadi last December combines all three elements.
But this murder in paradise is also one that, so far, hasn’t been investigated properly. In fact, if it wasn’t for the perseverance of Jason’s family, who were forced to hire a private detective to conduct their own inquiries, his killing would probably have been dismissed as not even suspicious.
On assignment for 60 MINUTES, Nine’s Christine Ahern travels to Fiji to report on his family’s frantic mission to discover the truth.

RUSH OF EGO
Two years ago, almost to the day, the United States Coast Guard was tasked with leading the search for the Titan, the submersible missing on an expedition to the wreck of the Titanic.
At first there was hope the experimental craft could be rescued, but as is now well known, 90 minutes into its journey and three kilometres below the surface, Titan imploded. All five men on board were killed instantly. Among them was Stockton Rush, the boss of OceanGate, the company which designed, built and operated the doomed sub. Not surprisingly he has been a main focus of the Coast Guard’s investigation into what went wrong.
Its official report is expected to be released imminently, but as Amelia Adams reports, already this disaster seems to be a case of ego overruling expertise.
