12-year-old Terry Floyd disappeared on June 28, 1975, from the small Victorian town of Avoca.  

Journalist Dee Dee Dunleavy re-traces Terry’s last known steps with Daryl Floyd, who has spent the last five decades searching for his brother.  

Former Homicide Detective Charlie Bezzina explains why Terry went from his home town of Maryborough to Avoca that day, and how he got there. 

We hear the voices of Terry’s mate Peter Holland, and of the father of another of his friends, who was one of the last people to see him alive. 

Terry’s parents despair at realising that their son might never be coming home. 

Victoria Police has a one million dollar reward on offer for information that leads to the conviction of Terry Floyd’s killer.

On June 28, 1975, 12-year-old Terry Floyd was standing beside the road in a small Victorian country town when a panel van pulled up beside him. When it drove away he was gone. Terry’s family never saw him again.

His brother Daryl has spent the last five decades trying to find Terry,  including digging in an old gold mine. 

In this nine-part true crime series veteran journalist and broadcaster Dee Dee Dunleavy follows former Homicide Detective Charlie Bezzina as he investigates Terry’s disappearance. He firmly believes that this case can be solved. 

He has his suspicions about who took Terry that day. So why has nobody ever been charged over Terry’s disappearance? Who was in the small country town that day, and what were they doing? Who saw what? And where are Terry Floyd’s remains? 

We examine the suspects, the physical clues that have been uncovered, and we hear from witnesses who saw Terry on the day he disappeared

The first three episodes of The Boy In The Gold Mine launch on Monday, May 5, 2025.
