Damien remembers Dylan as his best mate, a funny, mischievous kid who grew up riding motorbikes, making people laugh and eventually working alongside his dad as a plasterer. But in the year before Dylan disappeared, Damien began to notice changes. Money was going missing, Dylan’s appearance was changing and drugs had entered his life. In this episode, Damien reflects on the son he knew, the warning signs he saw, and the questions he has carried ever since.

Dylan Dickie: The Son I Knew

When 71-year-old Robert “Bob” Dickie suddenly stopped answering his phone, his son Damien drove to his remote property near Dubbo looking for answers. Bob was nowhere to be found. But a woman Damien didn’t know was at the property, claiming to be Bob’s wife and saying he had simply gone to a party. Robert has never been seen again.

Note: A woman investigated in connection with Robert’s disappearance was acquitted in the NSW courts in November 2023. No allegation is made against her contrary to that decision.

Days after the inquest into Des Carr’s disappearance, a message arrives from a stranger named Robert.

Robert says he knew Des in the Kimberley—and is adamant that sometime after Des vanished in 1979, he bumped into him on a Perth street.

But when Robert called out his name, the man he believes was Des denied knowing him and claimed he had never even been to the Kimberley.

Then another extraordinary story emerges. Years after Des disappeared, a member of his own family remembers seeing a man in a Perth pub who she was convinced was her missing uncle.

Could Des have survived? Were both sightings simply cases of mistaken identity? Or does this completely change what we thought we knew about his disappearance?

Police are now looking into Robert’s account.
