First on the scene at the Lindt Cafe Siege: Damian Loone Pt.2

I Catch Killers with Gary Jubelin

Retired detective Damian Loone has taken DNA evidence around the world to be tested, he’s negotiated with armed hostage takers and he’s investigated the disappearance of three-year-old Cheryl Grimmer. But the case that took the wind out of him was that of the 2014 Lindt Cafe Siege - where 18 people were held hostage by a lone gunman in Sydney’s CBD, and he was among those first on scene.
