Someone, somewhere, knows something. Almost 38,000 missing people are reported to police every year in Australia; that’s one every 14 minutes. Some do not return home. For their families, it’s a never-ending nightmare. For police, the search for answers can sometimes last for decades. The Missing Australia exists to change this. Presented by former police officer Meni Caroutas, it aims to break new ground on these cold cases – because there’s always someone out there who knows what happened to a missing person. The challenge is to find them.

    Two women set off on an adventure, never to be seen again.  Former Detective Neville Scullion speaks publicly for the first time about leading the investigation into the disappearance of British backpackers Joanne Walters and Caroline Clarke, whose bodies were found months after their April 1992 disappearance in the Belanglo State Forest. He coordinated with British authorities and faced the heartbreaking task of informing the victims' families.
