The disappearance of Roxlyn Bowie remained one of Australia's most haunting cold cases for more than 40 years.
On the night of June 5, 1982, Roxlyn Bowie vanished from her home in Walgett, New South Wales, leaving behind her husband, John Bowie, and their two young children. According to her husband, she had simply walked away to start a new life.
But investigators eventually uncovered a very different story.
This true crime documentary examines the complete timeline of the Roxlyn Bowie case—from her mysterious disappearance and the controversial "Dear John" letters to the 2014 coronial inquest, the formation of Strike Force Maluka, the discovery of crucial evidence, chilling witness testimony, and the remarkable murder conviction that came without a body ever being found.
How was John Bowie convicted of murder despite the absence of Roxlyn's remains?
And after more than four decades, the biggest mystery still remains:
Where is Roxlyn Bowie?
