  Someone Knew Something

  Aug 30, 202620 minS5

  For more than 40 years, Pam and her daughter Jodie have carried their own theory about what happened to Des Carr that he never simply wandered away, and that his disappearance may have involved foul play. They share memories of Des, the days after he vanished, and why they believe the answer could still lie somewhere along the remote roads of the Kimberley. Then, just as Jodie hopes someone might hear the podcast and finally break their silence, a message arrives. A man named Robert says he knew Des and claims he saw him again after he disappeared.

  After 40 Years, the Coroner Steps In

  Aug 23, 202628 minS5

  More than four decades after DeS disappeared without a trace, his family finally receives the news they have been waiting for: his case is being prepared for the coroner. As police revisit the evidence, new questions emerge. Could unidentified human remains found near Newman be connected to Des? Will family DNA finally provide an answer? And what should be made of a disturbing account buried in the police file — a claim that Des may have been murdered after intervening to protect a young girl? For a family that has spent more than 40 years living with uncertainty, there is finally movement. But with every new piece of information comes another question about what really happened to Desmond Carr. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

  The Clues That Could Finally Identify Des

  Aug 16, 202627 minS5

  Forty years after Des vanished, new information is still emerging. Peter Connolly has now made an official statement to police about seeing Des after he disappeared — and one detail about what Des was wearing raises fresh questions about whether unidentified remains found years later could really be his. Then come two potentially important identifying clues: Des had missing teeth and may also have had a metal plate in his jaw  information that has now been passed to police. As old photographs, family records and memories continue to surface, the search for answers is gathering momentum  and proving that even after four decades, a cold case can still move forward.

  A Body Is Found

  Aug 11, 202624 minS5

  We have had many emails with theories about what happened to my Uncle Des. Some of them have been wild and would never make the podcast, some we followed up but went nowhere and then others we believe needed further exploring… this theory is one of them.     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
