Trace ABC Podcasts

Trace fans should know that there are now three seasons of the Unravel True Crime podcast available. Their latest story Last Seen Katoomba takes a deep dive into the case of 19-year-old Belinda Peisley who went missing from the Blue Mountains in September 1998.

More than a year on from their plea for a new coronial inquest, the James brothers get a decision.

Will they finally get answers to the burning questions they've carried for 38 years about the murder of their mother?

And what about those items Trace has been given that might have DNA on them?

Can they identify the killer?

We take them to one of the world's best DNA labs, with some of the most sensitive equipment, to find out.

In their first reunion since Trace launched, former detective Ron Iddles, Maria James’s son Mark James and journalist Rachael Brown got together for a special live event at the Wheeler Centre.

They discuss the challenges of reviving the cold case, its insistent questions, and the uncommon task of investigating a murder in the public arena.

This special one hour event is hosted by Myf Warhurst.

New evidence has been found. So can police test it for a trace of the killer? What happened to crucial documents? And a new confession.

It is nearly a year since the James brothers applied for a new coronial inquest into their mum's murder, but the case hangs in legal limbo.
