    Penno: Part 1

    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?  The Missing Files podcast is hosted and produced by Adam Drummond from waggawagga.tv.  Investigative Journalist: Daniel Johns.  Police Liaison and investigation mentor: Michael Rowan.  Editor and media content contributor: Matt Olsen.  Media inserted throughout The Missing Files Podcast comes from:  A Current Affair: NINE Network Australia NBN  Channel 9 Channel 7 Sunrise: Network 7 ABC Music and Sound Effects are sourced and licenced through Envato Elements with attribution to author usernames:  Praded PhilLarson AudioZen _Blacksmith_ Stockwaves AirFamily  No money is received for the production of The Missing Files and all team members participate and contribute on a voluntary basis.
