Bike Boy – The True Crime Podcast

S2 • Ep8: Ryan’s arrest shocked the investigation team. In this episode, we discuss the emotional fallout, the public reaction, and why many people believe Ryan’s life may have taken a very different path had the 2013 crash — and what followed — never occurred. We also examine the growing controversy surrounding the proposed Daniel Andrews statue, and ask why police moved swiftly against Ryan while continuing to avoid formally investigating the serious unanswered questions surrounding the Andrewses, and the crash itself.

S2 • Ep7: Why wasn’t Catherine Andrews breath tested for alcohol by police after the crash? And why did police keep changing their excuse for that failure in basic policing? How did these contradictions make their way all the way to IBAC — Victoria’s anti-corruption body — only to be handballed back to Victoria Police? And why didn’t these people realise we would eventually figure it out?

Years after the Blairgowrie crash that nearly killed teenager Ryan Meuleman, then Senior Constable Shayna Sage suddenly altered key police evidence connected to the case. And why did the timing closely align with Daniel Andrews’ highly scripted press conference, where he publicly presented his version of events to the media?

Episode 5 is unlike anything we planned to release. It is a confronting and heart-wrenching listen — but an important one. In this deeply personal and emotional episode, Peter Meuleman, Ryan's dad, reflects on the devastating events of the past week, Ryan’s declining mental health, and the toll 13 years of public scrutiny, political controversy, and unresolved questions have taken on his son and family. 

Who really wrote those false statements to Police that Daniel and Catherine Andrews signed weeks after the crash. And should the disgraced couple face criminal charges for perverting the course of justice because of those statements?

How members of Victoria Police worked with Daniel Andrews’ wife, Catherine Andrews, to produce a police report that started as a very different document — written for something else entirely. Find out what the police involved say now about what happened then.

Ryan's sister describes how she fought to keep her brother alive—as confronting questions emerge. What happens when politicians and police get too close?

A lot has changed since Series 1. New evidence. New witnesses. We hear from Ryan’s sister, Samantha, who rushed to the crash scene — and couldn’t believe what she found. Now, one witness makes a stunning claim: that the crash was used to blackmail the Victorian Government.
