Fifteen missing people, fifteen families grieving, and one person looking for answers: a forensic and moving re-examination of some of Australia's most heartbreaking missing persons cases

Every 14 minutes in Australia, someone vanishes. Of the 38,000 missing persons reported each year, most return. But for the families of those who don't, it's a nightmare they never wake up from.

There are currently 2,600 long-term missing Australians. On top of that, 700 unidentified bodies lie in morgues and unmarked graves across the country, silent mysteries waiting to be solved.

In this powerful and gripping collection of real-life cases, Meni Caroutas - a former cop turned investigative journalist - reviews old evidence, hunts new leads and recounts shocking developments surrounding the disappearance or murder of 15 people. From the baffling case of a deceased newborn sent in the mail from Melbourne to Darwin, to the haunting abduction of 16-year-old Gordana Kotevski in 1994, and the chilling possibility of a 14-year-old girl falling victim to notorious serial killer Ivan Milat, these are cases that have left behind shattered parents, traumatised siblings and grieving friends still searching for answers.

Meni sounds the plea, someone, somewhere, knows something, because this book isn't just about stories - it's about truth, hope and the relentless pursuit of justice for those who can no longer speak for themselves.
