This episode is introduced by Loren O’Keeffe, founder of the Missing Persons Advocacy Network.
A litany of errors and a blatant lack of investigation by NSW Police has been laid bare during evidence at a recent coronial inquest into the disappearance of Ursula Barwick.
The bubbly 17-year-old vanished without a trace in 1987.
Her family dropped her to the train station on the NSW Central Coast, where she was headed to Sydney to start a new job. But they never saw her again.
Police failures in Ursula Barwick’s case were first raised in an Australian Story program in 2019. Evidence presented to the Coroner last month upheld many of the family’s concerns and documented a trail of errors and missed opportunities to piece together what had happened to her.
