Lyn and Chris Dawson appear to have the perfect marriage. He's a star footballer and popular high school teacher. She's a devoted wife and mother. They share a beautiful home above Sydney's northern beaches. But when Lyn goes missing, dark secrets are buried. This is no fairytale, but a sordid story of strangely close twin brothers, teenage student lovers, and probable murder. The Australian's Hedley Thomas digs deep into a cold case which has been unsolved for 36 years, uncovering startling new evidence.

Customer Reviews
great story...a real slog to get through
fascinating story, but painfully repetititve production. with some solid editing, this could have been an excellent listen. like a few other crime podcasts, the fact that the accused engaged in other reprehensible behavior was used as a justification for a murder charge. the episode with the psychic was completely ridiculous.
Interesting case but Painfully boring reporting
This should have been 3 episodes. The repetition of facts and interviews were infuriating at times, as were endless phone calls with ppl who knew the family just giving opinions. After a couple of episodes I started skipping around to try and get to a place where new information would be, only to find nothing. I ended up having to start skipping entire episodes, and by the end of the last episode there are still no answers or new information. So it was essentially 12 hours of listening to phone calls of how people felt about her disappearance.
Interesting Podcast!
How did Chris get away with this? He’s beyond ridiculous!
