Australian investigative journalist Kate Kachor has spent more than two years mapping the disappearance of 17-year-old Elaine Johnson and 18-year-old Kerry Joel, last seen in Cronulla, Sydney, on 1 February 1980. The result is a new podcast series launching in 2026.

In May 2018, The Australian newspaper launched The Teacher's Pet, a crime podcast investigating the 1982 disappearance of Lynette Dawson from Sydney. Hosted by journalist Hedley Thomas, the series uncovered new evidence that would ultimately lead to the conviction of Chris Dawson, Lyn's husband, for her murder in August 2022.
