Biddy Porter killing: Grieving parents speak out on “system failure”
#biddyporter #australia #truecrime #investigation
Dominic Porter and Rebekah Keukenmeester speak about the devastating loss of their daughter, Bridgette “Biddy” Porter — the 10-year-old girl Dom calls “Australia’s forgotten child”.
Six years on from Biddy’s killing in regional NSW, her parents say the trauma has never stopped. Instead, they describe a system that has forced them to relive their daughter’s death again and again through official reviews, legal processes, suppression orders and ongoing battles over victims’ rights.
In this powerful interview, Dom and Rebekah speak about the pain of losing Biddy, the heartbreak of watching time move forward without her, and the deep frustration of navigating a forensic mental health system they believe puts perpetrators first and victims last.
They share how Biddy’s absence is felt in every milestone she never reached — high school, learning to drive, teenage years, relationships and the future she should have had. While the world moves on, Biddy remains 10 forever in the eyes of those who loved her.
The story is also explored in season six of Watching Two Detectives, the podcast hosted by former NSW homicide detectives Peter Hogan and Scott Rogan. Drawing on decades of experience investigating major crimes, Hogan and Rogan examine the brutality of Biddy’s death, the impact on her family, the coronial inquest, and the wider questions raised about child safety, victims’ rights and the forensic mental health system.
