The new Coffee & Crime AU episode follows the disappearance of two-day-old Tegan Lane, the case against her mother Keli Lane, and the questions that remain nearly thirty years later.

Early Access is now available for the new Coffee & Crime AU episode on Keli Lane and the disappearance of two-day-old Tegan Lane.

A clear, factual overview of the Gonzales family murders, the case against Sef Gonzales, the verdict and where the case stands today.

Before the murders, Sef Gonzales was already trying to keep parts of his life hidden. University failure, alleged poisoning, false trails and the lies prosecutors said were closing in on him.

On 28 February 2000, John Price went to court. He wasn't there because a crime had already happened. He was there because he was frightened that one might.

Every disappearance leaves behind a timeline. A sequence of moments that begins before someone is gone and continues after the world realises something has changed. In some cases, that timeline is clear. There are cameras. There are witnesses. There are physical clues that show investigators exactly where to look. But the disappearance of Bronwyn Winfield has always been different. Her case has been built from fragments. A family home. A locksmith visit. Witness

When two Australian women disappear without a trace, the similarities can seem striking. Lynette Simms vanished from Sydney’s northern beaches in 1982. Bronwyn Winfield disappeared from Lennox Head in 1993. Neither woman has ever been found. Both cases involved marital breakdown, a family home, and decades of unanswered questions.

What happened to Bronwyn Winfield? Bronwyn was 31 years old when she vanished in May 1993. She was a mother of two young daughters, a daughter, a friend, and a woman whose life was much more than the mystery that would later surround her disappearance.

More than thirty years ago, a woman disappeared from a quiet street in Lennox Head, and she has never been found. In May 1993, 31-year-old Bronwyn Winfield vanished from her home on Sandstone Crescent on the far north coast of New South Wales. She left behind two young daughters, a family searching for answers, and a mystery that continues to haunt those who knew her.

On a winter night in June 2014, police were called to a rural property in Western Australia. What began as an emergency response would later become the subject of a coronial inquest, forensic debate, and years of unanswered questions.

There is a sentence that appears repeatedly in discussions about Amy Wensley’s death: 'The scene had already changed.” Those six words sit at the centre of the controversy surrounding the investigation. They do not tell us how Amy died. They tell us something equally important: that later investigators were forced to examine a scene that was no longer preserved exactly as it had been at the critical moment.

On 1 March 1999, 15-year-old Rachel Elizabeth Barber disappeared from Melbourne, Victoria. Rachel was not just a name in a case file. She was a daughter, a sister, a friend, and a talented young dancer with her whole future ahead of her. She attended The Dance Factory in Richmond, where she was studying performing arts. Those who knew Rachel described her as a bright, caring and ambitious teenager who was passionate about dance.

Rachel Barber was just 15 years old. Talented, kind, and with a promising future ahead of her, she had no idea that someone she trusted had spent years becoming dangerously obsessed with her life. In this early access episode, we follow the case from the very beginning. From Rachel's final day at dance class and the fake psychology study that lured her to Caroline Reed Robertson's flat, to the calculated murder, the desperate attempts to conceal the crime, and the investig
