Nine has announced a 60 Minutes special tonight at 7.30pm following a guilty verdict for former NSW Detective Roger Rogerson.
Today a jury found 75-year-old Rogerson guilty of murdering 20-year-old university student Jamie Gao.
The special, which hears from former drug squad detective Michael Drury and Sascha Huckstepp, daughter of murdered whistle-blower Sallie-Anne Huckstepp, means David Attenborough: The Hunt is not airing tonight.
In the 1980s Rogerson was viewed as a potential future police commissioner. But it was all a lie. In reality he was a bad cop, as crooked as they come.
For the first time, a former good cop, Mick Drury, reveals all to 60 Minutes about Rogerson’s involvement in the assassination attempt on him in front of his young family. And Drury’s account of his battle to expose Rogerson’s corrupt ways is just the beginning of the real history of the most notorious rat in police ranks.
60 Minutes also speaks exclusively to Sascha Huckstepp, the daughter of whistleblower Sallie-Anne Huckstepp who was brutally murdered in 1986.
Just years before her death, Sallie-Anne famously claimed to 60 Minutes that Rogerson had murdered her boyfriend, Warren Lanfranchi.
Tonight, for the first time, Sascha talks about her belief about Rogerson’s role in her mother’s killing.

So there’s a press release when they add a last minute 60 minutes special yesterday but no press release when they decide to have a live episode of footy classified on gem at 8.30pm on monday? I realise monday was a public holiday but still inconsistent.
Did it really have to be on at 7:30pm. They have been promoting DA: The Hunt all week. Was looking forward to this episode. Guess ill have to wait another week….. or watch it another way
State of Origin 2 next week sorry.
I wonder how long 60 Minutes have been sitting on this…
Yes not uncommon for current affairs to have stories ready to go as soon as legal case is out of the way.
