August 19th, 1986 started like any other day for mother Tess Knight and her daughter, Samantha. But by the time the sun went down taht day, Tess would be living every parents worst nightmare - her precious daughter Samantha had come home from school and simply vanished. What happened next would bring about one of the biggest missing persons searches Australia had ever seen, and would expose a mostly unheard of and unexposed predatory monster - often hidden in plain sight. 

Join Belinda over a coffee or catnip as she takes a deep dive into the missing persons case that broke Australia's heart, but one that has raised much needed awareness around predators.
