About this episode

This episode explores the tragic case of Karlie Pearce-Stevenson and her daughter Khandalyce, who were found murdered years apart, and the circumstances surrounding their disappearance and identification.

Two unidentified bodies were found years apart and thousands of kilometres away from eachother- Then came the chilling discovery that they were a mother and her young daughter. When the remains of a young woman were discovered in the notorious Belanglo State Forest, no one knew who she was. Her identity remained a mystery for five years, until the horrific discovery of a toddler's body on the side of a highway, and the heartbreaking truth they were mother and daughter.  This episode, Xanthe takes us through why Karlie Pearce-Stevenson and her daughter Khandalyce were never reported missing - and how they were finally identified. Plus the depraved actions of the man who killed them - and his calculated deception designed to convince family and police they were still alive.  Watch the full video episode on Youtube at Crime Central Australia HERE.
