Breakthrough: Body Found In Search for Jayden Penno-Tompsett
About this episode
The episode discusses the mysterious disappearance of Jayden Penno-Tompsett and a recent breakthrough in the case.
In December 2017, two young men took off on a drug-fuelled roadtrip to spend New Year's Eve in Cairns. One made it to the party - the other was never seen again. Now a shocking development could see this case finally solved. In the final episode of this special series for Outback Murder Highway, investigative journalist Amelia Oberhardt dissects the mysterious disappearance of 22-year-old Jayden Penno-Tompsett who vanished in a tiny town off the Flinders Highway. The coroner ruled out foul play - but Jayden’s mum isn’t convinced and hired a private investigator to find new evidence. You can watch the Outback Murder Highway TV documentary series 8.30pm Wednesday on Channel 9 from April 22 to May 13. Or watch anytime here - on 9Now.
