On the morning of February 19th, 2024, a terrifying triple zero call came in from a quiet Sydney neighborhood.

An operator heard a struggle, a man shouting, and then silence. A few blocks away, life went on,

unaware that two young men full of potential had just been erased from the world. The disappearance

that followed would expose a

tragic relationship, a deadly obsession, and a killer hiding in plain sight. For days,

the entire country was held hostage by a desperate search.

Hey guys, and welcome to the Moms and Mysteries podcast, a true crime podcast featuring myself, Mandy, and my dear friend Melissa.

Hi, Melissa.

Hi, Mandy.

How are you?

I'm doing well.

We actually just chit-chatted for about half an hour before we started recording.

I know.

Yeah, I feel like we're peppy. We're into it. Well, we're always into doing the show. We're into life today. Yeah, sometimes we're only into the show. And life is like, no, thanks. Not interested. Yeah. Weather is beautiful. For those of you wondering, absolutely gorgeous. It gets cooler next week in the mornings, and I'm very excited about that. I know you are. I am.

I mean, I did see that there's about to be like a 10-inch snowstorm in some places, so not that cold, but it'll be like not sweating when you go outside at 7 a.m.

I feel like it's about every October that we start saying, oh my gosh, it's already

snowing somewhere and it's going to be, we have a whole on to the 80 degrees coming right now.

But yeah, the weather's been beautiful. Actually, I'm very looking forward to it being nice next week

because my kids are off school. I've mentioned before on the show that my kids get a week off

of school every six weeks I've calculated. my kids get a week off of school every six weeks I've calculated.

It's either a week off of school or it's a holiday break.

And they also get lots of three-day weekends.
