When Good Weekend senior writer Melissa Fyfe and WAtoday journalist Carla Hildebrandt set out to write about Jeffrey Epstein’s most famous victim, Virginia Giuffre, it began as a piece about the legal battle over her multimillion-dollar estate. But as the reporters started their detailed investigation, a much darker story emerged about the events leading up to her death by suicide in April 2025. Here, Mel and Carla talk about their compelling Good Weekend cover story and four-part podcast series detailing the anguish Giuffre suffered as she endured domestic violence, a court order denying access to her children, debilitating health issues and the toll of living in the public eye.
