About this episode

The episode revisits the unresolved case of Peter Falconio's murder and the questions surrounding it.

Twenty-five years after the murder of British backpacker Peter Falconio shocked Australia and the world, one question still remains: where is Peter? In this episode, Wayne Flower is joined by Daily Mail Australia News Editor Kevin Airs, who reported from the heart of the investigation as the case unfolded in 2001. Together they revisit the night of Peter’s murder on the remote Stuart Highway, the extraordinary survival of Joanne Lees, and the trial that convicted Bradley John Murdoch.  But Murdoch is now dead, Peter's body is still missing, and crucial questions of the case may never be answered.
