In our three-part season finale miniseries, we explore cases of travellers who go missing while abroad.

Part One focuses on the disappearance of Marion Barter - one of Australia’s most puzzling missing persons cases.

In 1997, the 51-year-old teacher set off on a year-long overseas trip, staying in contact with family as she traveled. Just 5 weeks into her trip, she made a final call to her daughter that seemed normal. However, it would be the last time anyone in her family ever heard from her.

In this super-sized episode, we break down Marion’s life before her trip, the timeline of her travels, and the many twists and turns uncovered in the nearly thirty years since she vanished.
