Part 1 of 2 - The disappearance of Sarah McDiarmidOn a winter's night in July 1990, twenty-three-year-old Sarah MacDiarmid stepped off a late-running train at Kananook station, south-east of Melbourne, and walked towards her car. She never made it home.In the first of two episodes, we follow Sarah's last night, from a social tennis match in the city to a dark commuter car park on the Frankston line, and the long hours her family spent waiting for a phone call that never came. Within a fortnight, police had a suspect, a sworn witness and a string of people repeating a confession. So why did the man running the investigation never believe it?Subscribe now to Strewth Premium on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/cw/StrewthPodcastStrewth social media links - https://linktr.ee/strewthpodcastContact me - [email protected] Music - Jesse Frank on PixabaySourcesABC News.
