  • Summary

  • Lyn and Chris Dawson appear to have the perfect marriage. He's a star footballer and popular high school teacher. She's a devoted wife and mother. They share a beautiful home above Sydney's northern beaches. But when Lyn goes missing, dark secrets are buried. This is no fairytale, but a sordid story of strangely close twin brothers, teenage student lovers, and probable murder. The Australian's Hedley Thomas digs deep into a cold case which has been unsolved for 36 years, uncovering startling new evidence.

Incredible Reporting

I can tell a lot of work went into this story. Great job bringing awareness of these disturbing events.
To Lyn's loved ones & the SA victims, I hope you receive the closure you deserve & are able to find some peace.
