Almost 38,000 missing people are reported to police every year in Australia; that’s one every 14 minutes. The Missing exists to find them.

One night in July 1979 two teenagers in the Illawarra told their families they were going out to the movies. They never came home. Four decades later, ex-classmates at Lake Illawarra high school caught up for a sobering 40-year reunion. Meni attended the event and spoke to those who knew Kay Docherty and Toni Cavanagh about how their disappearance has changed everyone's lives forever.

Please note: this is an older episode of The Missing from a few years ago. The audio quality is better in series 2 (from June 2023), but the content and story is just as important.

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 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.
