Eileen Ormsby is a lawyer, author and freelance journalist based in Melbourne. Her first book, Silk Road was the world’s first in-depth expose of the black markets that operate on the dark web.
Eileen’s gonzo-style investigations have led her deep into the secretive corners of the dark web where drugs and weapons dealers, hackers, hitmen and worse ply their trade.
Eileen is also a regular contributor of scripts for the Casefile True Crime podcast.
Her latest book, Little Girls Lost: True tales of heinous crimes, was published in September.
I’m a big fan of true crime (books, television shows, documentaries, podcasts) so I’ve been wanting to have a true crime author on the podcast for awhile, so I was excited that Eileen agreed to be my first true crime/non-fiction author on the podcast.
We talk about our work, her investigations of the darkest depths of humanity and how she deals with that, death threats, and a lot more.
