Justice for Kiesha
It’s often said the bond
between a mother and her child is unbreakable. Which is why it seems
inexplicable when a child is killed by the person who should love them the
most. Such is the case of 6-year-old Kiesha Weippeart – her brief, tortured
life was punctuated by physical, emotional and psychological abuse of the worst
kind. For the public, this story began in August 2010, when Kristi Abrahams –
Kiesha’s mother – made a teary plea, claiming her daughter had been abducted
from the family home. We now know this was nothing more than a gruesome hoax
for the cameras. Behind the scenes, a dedicated team of investigators began the
task of finding out what really happened to little Kiesha. For the first time this
Sunday, 60 Minutes will broadcast the police interviews with Kristi Abrahams
and reveal how detectives began to unravel the most horrific truth, which will
haunt them for the rest of their lives.

Urban Myth
From the age of six,
Keith Urban wanted to be a country music star but it still took 20 years for
the kid from Caboolture to crack the big time. There were many speed bumps
along the way: drugs, alcohol and a whole lot of rejection. Then everything
started to click for Keith – hit singles, marriage to Nicole Kidman and kids.
But it wasn’t until his appearance on The Voice that we Aussies really began to
know – and like – Keith Urban. Despite all this time in the public spotlight,
he’s still an enigma. So when Tara Brown caught up him with on tour in America,
she was happily surprised to find a man ready to let his guard down.

JFK
Few historical moments of
the last century are as powerful, or as visceral, as the assassination of
American President John F Kennedy. It may be difficult to imagine in these
hardened political times but JFK was much more than a politician. He was a
star, a beacon of hope for the future. Of course, all that was shattered when
he was gunned down in Dallas, Texas on November 22 1963. As we approach the
50th anniversary of that shocking day, anyone old enough will no doubt recall
that moment with vivid clarity. But none more so than the bodyguard who still
can’t forgive himself for failing to save the President’s life. Clint Hill was
the agent seen scrambling onto the back of the President’s car after he
was shot. On 60 Minutes, he’ll retrace his steps, actions and feelings on the
day the world lost its innocence.
