Scott Johnson's naked body was found on the rocks at Blue Fish Point near Manly in Sydney in December 1988. Above him loomed the jagged cliffs from which he had fallen the night before.


Manly police were quick to declare his death a suicide, even though gay men were being found in similar circumstances around the Sydney shoreline with shocking regularity.


Scott was, and still is, deeply loved by his friends, family and older brother, Steve Johnson.


Steve refused to give up in his pursuit of justice for Scott. His crusade uncovered the truth about decades of gay hate crimes in Sydney and the police inaction that allowed them to thrive.


Steve Johnson has just released a book called A Thousand Miles from Care, and he joins us on Australian True Crime to talk about it.
