Teacher’s Pet case: Podcast subject Chris Dawson sentenced to 24 years for murder of wife

An Australian former high schoolteacher who was the subject of a hit podcast was sentenced on Friday to 24 years in jail for murdering his wife 40 years ago.

The cold case against Christopher Dawson was reopened after the 2018 The Teacher’s Pet podcast put pressure on the police to revisit their investigation of the death of his wife, Lynette.

The 74-year-old, in failing health, was told by the judge he will “probably die in jail”. He will be 92 when he is first eligible for parole after 18 years in prison, in August 2040.

His sentencing comes after a decades-long campaign for justice.

Dawson was found guilty in August this year of murdering his wife in 1982 in order that he might have an unfettered relationship with a high school student who was also his babysitter, anonymised before the court as JC.

His wife, Lynette, went missing from the couple’s marital home on Sydney’

Sydney, Australia — A former Australian high school teacher convicted of murdering his wife after a hit podcast unearthed new evidence was on Friday sentenced to 24 years in prison. Chris Dawson, 74, was found guilty of killing Lynette Dawson some 40 years ago while pursuing an affair with his teenage babysitter and former student.
Her body was never found and there were few leads in the case until 2018 when "The Teacher's Pet" podcast sparked renewed public interest and ultimately a fresh police investigation.
The murder had been driven by Dawson's "possessive infatuation" with his former student, which led him to kill his wife, Judge Ian Harrison said Friday while announcing the 24-year prison sentence.
