In 2007 when Kate Kyriacou was a reporter for the Adelaide Advertiser, she took up a story of a missing woman named Glenys Heyward.


Glenys, 53, had been due to go on a holiday with her new partner. Instead, she went missing from her hometown of Mount Gambier, towards the Victorian border.


Nowadays, Kate is the Courier Mail's Chief Crime Reporter, and has since reported on many harrowing cases. This one, however, is the one that sticks with her the most. In Kate's own words, "when people say "why didn't she just leave?", this case shows why it's a lot more complicated than that".
