Samantha Knight - Never Forgotten 60 Minutes True Crime Podcast

In this episode, reporter Ross Coulthart remembers the chilling case of Samantha Knight, the angelic nine-year-old Bondi schoolgirl, who one day in 1986, vanished. Her disappearance led to one of the largest police investigations in New South Wales history but her body has still not been found. In 2001, the notorious paedophile Michael Guider was charged with Samantha's murder, and six months later pleaded guilty to manslaughter, claiming he hadn't meant to kill the little girl. He has never revealed where he put her body.

What happened to Samantha remains her parents, indeed every parent’s, worst nightmare.
