In March 1982, Daphne Enid Sansbury’s body was found at Victoria Park Racecourse in Adelaide. No one was ever held accountable. More than forty years later, her children and grandchildren are still living with the trauma of her death — and of a system that took her children, silenced her voice and failed to deliver justice.

Through intimate family testimony, archival evidence and investigative reporting, Adam Shand retraces Daphne’s life: from government policies of assimilation and forced child removal, to the night she was last seen alive and the flaws that surrounded the police investigation that followed.
