Gone Girls Episode 1: An Unspeakable Crime

Twenty-five years have passed since a peaceful Tasmanian seaside community was shattered by the brutal murder of a young Italian tourist on one of its remote and beautiful beaches. Still to this day, no-one has ever been charged with the murder of Victoria Cafasso. But Victoria’s death wasn’t the first disturbing event along that picturesque coastline — young German tourist Nancy Grunwaldt had disappeared from the same area two years earlier. With the anniversary of Victoria’s death, the Mercury revisits these two mysteries to find out what the police detectives and the locals think happened — and if they’ll ever be able to put these ghosts to rest.
