In May 1986, 33-year-old Cheryl Renwick vanished from Como, Western Australia. Days later, her car was found parked at Perth Airport — but there was no record of her boarding a flight.

Nearly four decades on, Cheryl remains missing. Was she the victim of foul play? Could her disappearance be linked to the Birnie murders, domestic proximity, or other unsolved crimes in Perth’s history? And why was her vehicle left in long-term parking?

In this episode of Vanished West, we examine the timeline, the investigation, the public speculation, and the unanswered questions that still haunt Cheryl’s family.

A man who vanished without a trace.

In April 2003, Wayne Dennis George Drewett disappeared in Perth, Western Australia. What remains is a coronial finding — and a silence that has never been resolved.

In June 2017, Jorn Jesper Jensen vanished from his Ocean Reef home.

He left behind blood on the floor.

A broken internal door.

And days later, his car was found more than an hour away in Lancelin — parked neatly, keys still in the ignition.

No body has ever been found.

An inquest determined Jesper is deceased, but how he died remains officially unascertained. Within his own family, two very different narratives endure.

This episode walks carefully through what is known, what is alleged, and what still refuses to settle.

Because sometimes, it isn’t the blood you see that matters —

it’s the blood that didn’t follow.
