The episode "Case 348: Toyah Cordingley" from Casefile: Australian True Crime Podcast Since 2016 covers the murder of 24-year-old Toyah Cordingley, who disappeared while walking her dog at Wangetti Beach near Cairns, Australia.
Toyah's loved ones launched a search after she went missing at the beach where she was last seen. In the early morning hours of October 22, 2018, her father Troy Cordingley made the devastating discovery that his daughter had been murdered and buried in the sand, at a place she had always considered safe.
