In Episode 4, Amy McQuire and Martin Hodgson discuss Missing White Woman Syndrome and compare police and media responses between when a white child goes missing to when a blak child goes missing. The data will horrify you, it's even worse than you can imagine!

In Episode 3, Amy McQuire and Martin Hodgson speak with the niece of Aunty Queenie Hart, Debbie West. With all three having worked closely together to have Queenie reburied at home in Cherbourg, this episode provides a chance for the family to take power of their own story, for Queenie's humanity to be heard and written into history, and for her killer to be named without any equivocation. This episode is the justice the Queensland courts and police could not provide!

In Episode 2, Amy McQuire and Martin Hodgson begin tracing the origins of the present crisis, in which Aboriginal women are being targeted for violence and disappearing. We begin with a story that connects the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) with the disappearing of Aboriginal women in our own country. Martin then looks back in the historical archive to understand how the history of gendered and racialised violence is repeated and reproduced throughout the generations.
