The Missing Files

In this fifth and final episode of The Missing Files’ series on the disappearance of Jayden Penno-Tompsett, we explore the findings of a Coronial Inquest into Jayden’s disappearance, speak with a world-renowned Private Investigator who is taking on the case, host a round table discussion with all members of The Missing Files team and hear from Jayden’s loved ones including mum, Rachel, Aunty Relle Harwood and good mate Jayson “Hungy” Hungerford. 

Wrong location for the search?  Mobile data tracking to help?  Which theory is now the most likely outcome?  We explore all of this and more in PENNO: Part 5 “THE FINAL CHAPTER”.

Penno: Part 4

 In this fourth episode just days prior to the Coronial Inquest into Jayden’s disappearance, we hear from one of the boys in Cairns who breaks his silence and makes two new startling claims.  That Lucas tried to sell his car in Cairns and that Jayden’s and Lucas’s argument could have been a violent one.

 And why have the police not offered a reward for information leading to Jayden’s whereabouts?  We read letters obtained by The Missing Files Podcast with responses from Police and the at time Home Affairs Minister, Peter Dutton.

Penno: Part 2

 Jayden Penno-Tompsett vanished from Charters Towers, Queensland after a 20 hour drive from Newcastle, NSW with travel companion Lucas Tattersall on New Year’s Eve 2017.

 In this second episode we speak with Jayden’s aunty, Sharelle Harwood, Townsville Bulletin senior journalist Trudy Brown, and Charters Towers locals Yvonne Schouten and Samantha Schouten.

Episode 1 

Penno: Part 1

 Jayden Penno-Tompsett vanished from Charters Towers, Queensland after a 20 hour drive from Newcastle, NSW with travel companion Lucas Tattersall on New Year’s Eve 2017.

 What happened to him between the hours of 3am and 11am on the 31st December remains a mystery.

 In this first episode we speak with Jayden’s mum, Rachel, his best mate Jayson “Hungy” Hungerford and discuss the theories from logical to unfathomable.

 Was Jayden the victim of a serial killer on the unforgiving Highway of Death?  Did he perish in the harsh Queensland terrain?  Was he executed for a long running debt to drug dealers?  Or was he responsible for his own actions?
