Meshel Laurie has detailed her chilling brush with notorious serial killer Peter Dupas while working as a receptionist at a Melbourne brothel in the 1990s.
Reported in The Daily Telegraph on Sunday, the comedian turned Australian True Crime podcaster revealed she once met the killer's final victim, counsellor Nicole 'Nikki' Patterson, who she fondly described as being 'wonderful'.
The 48-year-old explained that her 'beautiful boss' Miss Vick used to set up staff meetings once a month, something she had found 'hilarious' at the time.

'One month, she had this young woman come who was a counsellor and psychotherapist, to talk about self-esteem issues, self-care and mental health,' she recalled.
The psychotherapist turned out to be Nicole, with Meshel speaking warmly of her 'wonderful' methods of speaking to those who worked in the brothel with a sincere intention.
'I remember she ran out of cards and she started getting bits of paper and writing her phone number on them,' Meshel said.
