Australian true crime mysteries

In this collection of Australian unsolved true crime mysteries, you'll discover bizarre, sinister and heartbreaking stories from Australia's criminal past.

These clips show how the cases were reported on at the time and how cold cases were often reinvestigated through fresh eyes many years, or even decades, after the tragic events.

We also see the lasting effects that unsolved cases like the missing Beaumont children and the Wanda Beach murders have on those left behind.

WARNING: Some of the content and descriptions in the following clips are graphic in nature and may be upsetting to some people.
