On March 19, 2015, Ray and Jennie Kehlet went fossicking with their friend Graham in the goldfields outside Sandstone, WA.

A week later when police came across their campsite they found half-empty coffee cups, dirty dishes, and clothes still hanging on a makeshift clothesline. But they couldn't find Ray & Jennie.

The couple's disappearance sparked the biggest and most expensive search in WA history at the time. To this day police and their families are still searching for answers.

(Please note there is some breathing audible in this episode. It's our guest's dog. We did our best to stop the issue during the interview, as well as fix it in the editing stage, but ultimately we decided to air the episode as we wanted to give airtime to this important story instead of having to abandon the interview. )
