The Abduction of Joanne Ratcliffe and Kirste Gordon

Joanne Ratcliffe (11) and Kirste Gordon (4) were abducted while
attending an Australian rules football match at the Adelaide Oval
on 25 August 1973. Despite the case making national headlines at
the time, the presumed abduction and murder is often linked and
overshadowed by the disappearance of the Beaumont children in
1966. The case is also referred to as the Adelaide Oval
Abductions.


Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the girls and their
families, the details of the abductions, sightings of the
perpetrator, police investigation and suspects. In the latter
part of the episode, as Shaun dug deeper into the research of
this case, two seemingly missed leads and a disturbing theory in
connection with a remote South Australian town surfaced,
suggesting a potentially dark and twisted end to this case and
possibly many others...
