It’s 1999, 17-year-old Hayley Dodd set off on a working holiday across Western Australia. She was last seen walking along a remote stretch of North West Road near Badgingarra, then, she was gone. No calls. No sightings. No body. For years, her family clung to hope, but as time passed, the truth remained elusive.

In this first episode of our mini-series on Hayley Dodd, we retrace her final known movements, explore the initial search efforts, and uncover the frustrating gaps in the early investigation. How does a teenager disappear in broad daylight on a rural road? And why did it take nearly two decades for a conviction?

Join me while I examine the evidence, the suspects, and the heartbreaking fight for justice that still continues today.
