Summary

Christine Sharrock and Marianne Schmidt, both 15 years old, were at the sandhills at Wanda Beach in New South Wales, Australia in January 1965 when they disappeared. The next day, their bodies were found; they had been brutally murdered. Despite an extensive investigation, including potential other case connections and three viable suspects, their case remains unsolved to this day. It has been 60 years and Christine and Marianne still do not have justice. Click here to join our Patreon. Connect with us on Instagram and join our Facebook group.

1:13.0	This is an unsolved case that was suggested by one of our listeners, Lisa from Australia.
