The Bike Boy Scandal – The Final Phase for Justice

After more than a decade seeking answers, Ryan Meuleman and his family are closer than ever to achieving justice. With your help, the final phase of the investigation and legal action can now move forward.

No family should have to spend more than a decade fighting simply to have the truth properly examined.

On 7 January 2013, 15-year-old Ryan Meuleman was almost killed. He was struck by an SUV in Blairgowrie, Victoria, driven by either Daniel Andrews or his wife, Catherine Andrews.

More than a decade later, we have never been closer to achieving justice for Ryan.

What This Campaign Has Achieved So Far

The generosity of Australians has funded the professional legal and investigative work needed to properly examine the events surrounding the crash and pursue accountability through the legal process.

This support has allowed the team to engage experienced legal counsel and professional investigators to examine the evidence properly.

Funds raised are managed carefully and used only for legitimate costs associated with the investigation and legal process. These include legal advice, evidence analysis, investigative work, expert reports, public awareness and community engagement activities, and essential administrative expenses.

None of this would have been possible without small donations from caring Australians.

The Final Phase

Investigations into the crash and the surrounding events continue, as does the public campaign calling on Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Mike Bush to re-open the investigation.

After three years of investigation, our team believes the evidence raises serious questions that should be examined by the appropriate authorities.

And thanks to Bike Boy – The True Crime Podcast, more whistleblowers are coming forward from inside Victoria Police and the Australian Labor Party.

After more than a decade, the finish line is finally in sight.

We must make the most of this opportunity.

Why This Is the Final Phase

This campaign is not open-ended. We are aiming to achieve justice for Ryan within the next year.

We have 12 months to complete this final phase — and we keep going for Ryan’s sake, and for Victoria’s sake.

Ryan and his family have carried this fight for more than a decade.

Justice should never depend on how powerful someone is.

What happens here matters not just for Ryan, but for the standards we expect in Victoria.

This final phase will make all the difference.

About Your Support

This section has been updated to provide clarity around how funds are used.

All contributions to this campaign support the ongoing investigation, evidence development, and legal preparation required to pursue this matter responsibly.

A small proportion of funds may also be used to support essential public information and awareness activities connected to the case. This may include communication initiatives such as limited social media outreach and community information efforts, which help ensure the matter remains visible and that relevant information reaches the broader community.

This work requires ongoing coordination, specialist input, and sustained effort over an extended period. Where appropriate, limited support may be provided to enable key activities to continue, ensuring the campaign remains active and effective.

Legal processes can take time, but every step is focused on ensuring that all available evidence is properly examined and, where appropriate, progressed through the appropriate legal channels.

Your support enables this work to continue — from expert analysis and investigative efforts through to legal proceedings — and plays an important role in seeking accountability and transparency.

This campaign is committed to using funds in line with these purposes. Donations are made voluntarily and are subject to GoFundMe’s terms and policies.
