“Who the f*** is Hamish”: Tracy Hall Pt.1

I Catch Killers with Gary Jubelin

Tracy Hall fell in love with Max Tavita. Life was perfect. There were family holidays, they looked at buying houses, and they’d planned their future together. But it was all a web of lies. Within 18 months, he’d fleeced her of $300,000 in her life savings. She was left with nothing, and the man she knew as Max Tavita was in fact one of Australia’s worst con men.
