Julia Sheppard’s Someone Else’s Daughter is a harrowing account of the life and brutal murder of Anita Cobby, a young nurse whose death in 1986 shocked Australia. Combining biography with true-crime investigation, Sheppard pieces together Anita’s story, the circumstances leading to her abduction, and the trial that followed. It’s both a deeply personal portrait of a woman whose life was cut short and a stark examination of violence, justice, and the grief left in its wake.
