For their families, it’s a never-ending nightmare. For police, the search for answers can sometimes last for decades. The Missing Australia exists to change this. Presented by former police officer Meni Caroutas, it aims to break new ground on these cold cases – because there’s always someone out there who knows what happened to a missing person. The challenge is to find them.
