In July 2001, Peter Falconeo and Joanne Lease were taking a dream trip around the world.

One night in the middle of remote Central Australia, the couple's world was shattered and

Peter has never been seen since.

The question of what happened on the side of Stewart Highway has been resolved in the

courts, but was it the right answer?

I'm Charlie and welcome to Crimelines.

Alright welcome back to the show.

Just a heads up, I may not have an episode next week.

I'm not sure yet, I'm going on a out of the country trip next month so obviously I'm

missing an episode then and I didn't want to miss one in February, but my life is a comedy

of errors at the moment and the current error is called hand, foot and mouth disease.

Somehow my 16 year old got it, not the babies, no, not them.

The 16 year old got it, brought it home and so far has given it to my 6 year old, he

was just started with it, we'll see what happens with the toddler, but if they can't

go to school or daycare this week, I'm just not going to be able to get another episode

out.

So fingers crossed for healthy kids.

Tonight's case was suggested by Maggie and Tracy back when I was doing insight and I

want to thank them for this rabbit hole.

I also want to thank Jess for doing the base research on this case.

It's another case where my non-US listeners probably know it well, at least Australia and

probably those in the UK.
