  • Darwin, the capital of the Northern Territory is a popular holiday destination for both Australian Residents and international visitors alike. Also known as Australia's Tropical capital, its warm weather, night clubs, beach markets and laid back life style are among the many reasons why people choose to live in or visit Darwin.

    But behind this carefree façade hides another face of Darwin that is much more sinister. Per capita Darwin has the highest crime rate of any Australian city. In 2004, It would be the backdrop to an horrific crime that would be etched in to Darwin's history for many years to come.

  • We have had many emails with theories about what happened to my Uncle Des. Some of them have been wild and would never make the podcast, some we followed up but went nowhere and then others we believe needed further exploring… this theory is one of them.

    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  • As a family member any information we receive is helpful, whether it leads somewhere or not. It’s helpful to either shut down possible theories or sometimes give closure. A helpful witness says he saw Des at the Broome Rodeo two days after he disappeared. The police report tells a different story.
