17 July 2014. Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, is shot down by a surface-to-air missile in the skies above Eastern Ukraine. 298 people were on board, including 38 people who called Australia home. None survived.

Recovering and identifying victim remains would quickly become an unprecedented operation for the Australian Federal Police and their international counterparts. It would also become a complex mission to find the truth about what happened to MH17 and pursue justice for the families left behind.
