We have had many emails with theories about what happened to my Uncle Des. Some of them have been wild and would never make the podcast, some we followed up but went nowhere and then others we believe needed further exploring… this theory is one of them.

For more than 40 years, Pam and her daughter Jodie have carried their own theory about what happened to Des Carr that he never simply wandered away, and that his disappearance may have involved foul play.

They share memories of Des, the days after he vanished, and why they believe the answer could still lie somewhere along the remote roads of the Kimberley.

Then, just as Jodie hopes someone might hear the podcast and finally break their silence, a message arrives.

A man named Robert says he knew Des and claims he saw him again after he disappeared.

More than four decades after Des Carr vanished from a road roller in the remote WA outback, a coronial inquest finally examines what may have happened. A mysterious fire, new witness evidence, and an acknowledgement that police could have done more raise fresh questions and just when the family thinks the case is over, a confronting new theory emerges.

More than four decades after DeS disappeared without a trace, his family finally receives the news they have been waiting for: his case is being prepared for the coroner.

As police revisit the evidence, new questions emerge. Could unidentified human remains found near Newman be connected to Des? Will family DNA finally provide an answer? And what should be made of a disturbing account buried in the police file — a claim that Des may have been murdered after intervening to protect a young girl?

For a family that has spent more than 40 years living with uncertainty, there is finally movement. But with every new piece of information comes another question about what really happened to Desmond Carr.
