Here on Stolen Lives, we discuss brutal and heartbreaking crimes against children.

Themes may include child murder, torture, and sexual domestic and child abuse.

I do try my best to remain respectful for the babies in these stories, and leave out unnecessary

details that honestly, none of us need to know to understand the frustration of why and how this

ever happened. However, if you find frustration of why and how this ever happened.

However, if you find any of these themes triggering this podcast may not be for you.

Listener, discretion is advised.

This week's story is a listener's suggestion.

Thank you to Lisa for bringing Eloise's story to my attention.

Eloises is a story that is actually one of the first I remember being interested in.

Her photo was burned in my memory and gave me many a nightmare as a child.

I remember hiding behind the catch of my grandparents

while they watched the segment on Australia's Most Wanted like it was yesterday. January, 1976, Beaumaris, Victoria, Australia.

Eight-year-old Eloise Worledge was put to sleep safely in her bed. Her parents were going through

a separation, but had really tried to keep the household amicable for Eloise and her siblings.

But the next morning, only two children would wake up in their beds.

Eloise was gone. What would follow would be one of the largest missing person's searches in

Victorian history, changing how families lived forever. And now, almost 50 years later, we are still searching for answers and

asking what happened to Eloise. This is Eloise's story.

Patricia Ann Watmuff, or Patsy, as she was known by those who knew and loved her. Patsy was

working as a student teacher when she met her future husband, Lindsay Wurledge. He was three years older than her, and was working as a student teacher when she met her future husband, Lindsay Whirlidge.

He was three years older than her, and also working as a teacher at the Caulfield Institute of Technology.
