Cocaine Cassie brings her new wife to Australia and reveals the shocking truth about her time as a drug mule.
“Cocaine Cassie” Sainsbury, the South Australian gym bunny who turned up in police custody at a Bogota airport in 2017 with six kilos of drugs in her suitcase, would become the stuff of criminal legend.
The blonde bride-to-be was dubbed the “new Schapelle Corby” after smuggling the illegal narcotic in a bag full of headphones she claimed were wedding gifts. Cassie was dumped in one of the world’s worst women’s prisons and left to rot.
While her mother, sister, and then fiancé Scott pleaded for her release, Sainsbury’s father Stuart has been open about showing his sex worker daughter some tough love, lashing out at her crime in the media and bad-mouthing her to anyone who would listen.
Now, Cassie Sainsbury has returned home after spending three years in El Buen Pastor prison (and another three on parole in the drug capital) to give her first real confessional to 7NEWS Spotlight this weekend.
The convicted drug smuggler walks Australia through every step of her criminal activity, admitting she lied in previous interviews, and the nation will be astounded by how far she goes.
In a shocking interview, award-winning reporter Ross Coulthart confronts “Cocaine Cassie” and finally learns the terrible truth about how she played such a dangerous game.
There will be tears, but she has reason to smile as well, as she invites the audience to her beach wedding and shares a love story unlike any other.
Who supplies ‘the top end of the street’?
Looks obvious. Isn’t that the real truth behind liars’ support and release?
