"The family of an Aussie woman whose gruesome death hit headlines more than 40 years ago have broken their silence in a gripping new podcast, sharing unheard details of the cold case and their ongoing fight for justice.

Seven has delved into the shocking 1970s death of 21-year-old Margaret Kirstenfeldt, in a gripping new podcast titled Pendulum.

The body of the mum-of-two was found on February 10, 1978, by a teenage motorcyclist on a neighbour’s lawn in the small Queensland town of Sarina. Her throat had been slashed and she had serious stab wounds, with signs of sexual interference.

It’s now been 41 years since Margaret’s death and while officers initially believed it was a rape and murder case, claims later emerged that her wounds may in fact have been self-inflicted – with no set conclusion ever reached."

Self-inflicted? Did they think she would do that to herself just because she had a lot of sexual encounters?

Yes, it's very hard to imagine how anyone could do that to themselves. It feels to me like victim blaming at it's very worst.

What on earth does her sexual history have to do with anything? Other than to find the perpetrator of her horrific killing?
