0:00.0	Here on Stolen Lives, we discuss brutal and heartbreaking crimes against children.
0:05.8	Themes may include child murder, torture, and sexual domestic and child abuse.
0:11.6	I do to my best to remain respectful for the babies in these stories, and leave out unnecessary
0:16.9	details and honestly, none of us need to know to understand the frustration of
0:21.6	why and how this ever happened. However, if you find any of these themes triggering this
0:27.2	podcast may not be for you. Listener discretion is advised. This week's episode is a listener suggestion.
0:42.5	Thank you to Sal for asking me to cover more stories out of my local region, the greater

1:31.8	16-year-old Gordana was abducted while walking home from a local shopping centre. She was just

1:42.5	seen again. Gordana's loved ones have spent a year since her abduction in an unrelenting search for answers.
1:49.3	But despite wide-scale police searches and multiple eyewitness accounts,
1:53.5	as well as ongoing public appeals and rewards, Gordana's body has never been found.
