Two Cups of Tea: The Unsolved Murder of Florence Broadhurst

In October 1977, one of Australia's most celebrated designers — Florence Broadhurst, the woman behind some of the country's most iconic wallpaper — was found beaten to death in her own Paddington warehouse. The front door had been open all night. There was no sign of forced entry, no struggle... and two clean teacups sitting in the kitchen.

Forty-seven years later, no one has ever been charged.

In this episode of Criminology Files, we go beyond the headlines to actually interrogate the case: the estranged son with a public argument and a verified alibi, the mystery visitor who shared tea with Florence hours before she died, and the infamous theory linking her murder to convicted serial killer John Wayne Glover — the "Granny Killer." We break down staging vs. posing, why proximity bias skews cold-case theories, and why "resembles" isn't the same as "proven."

This is a story about a woman who spent her life curating her own myth — and a death that's remained just as unresolved.

If you have credible information about this case, contact Crime Stoppers or your local police service.
