Tina Louise Greer, 32, went missing from her Beechmont home in Queensland, January 18, 2012.

She had gone to visit her ex boyfriend, a Finks bikie by the name of Les "Grumpy" Sharman, and has not been seen since.

Despite being listed by a Queensland coroner and police as the primary suspect in Tina's disappearance, Les Sharman was never formally questioned by police. He then died in a car crash in 2018.

Our guest for today's episode, Tina's daughter Lili, was 13 when her mother went missing. Now, as a young adult, Lili has been relentless in her fight to advocate for her mother and other families like theirs. 

Through Lili's advocacy, a coronial inquest has been announced into her mother's disappearance for August 2023.

Nicole Morris started a website more than 16 years ago called Australian Missing Persons Register. It was something she began as a personal project but it soon turned into a valuable resource and advocacy platform for the families and friends of missing people in Australia. 

Now some of these cases and stories are in her first book VANISHED, told through the experiences of siblings with a missing loved one - the desperate searches in the first days, the Police investigations and, for many, the heartbreak as the years, even decades, go by with no news and no answers. 

Nicole’s joined us for this episode. 

VANISHED is published by Big Sky Publishing and available for pre-order. It’s on the shelves and online on 7 June 2023.

In 2007 when Kate Kyriacou was a reporter for the Adelaide Advertiser, she took up a story of a missing woman named Glenys Heyward.

Glenys, 53, had been due to go on a holiday with her new partner. Instead, she went missing from her hometown of Mount Gambier, towards the Victorian border.

Nowadays, Kate is the Courier Mail's Chief Crime Reporter, and has since reported on many harrowing cases. This one, however, is the one that sticks with her the most. In Kate's own words, "when people say "why didn't she just leave?", this case shows why it's a lot more complicated than that".

Sarah Boyd immigrated from Scotland to Sydney in 1923. It was there, where she and an accomplice committed an unthinkable decision.

What's even more terrifying, is that it was a decision that wasn't uncommon for women living in Sydney, Australia at the time. In fact, it was one of only a handful of difficult options faced by many women.
