Episode Details

The Unsolved Disappearance of Paddy Moriarty from Larrimah - Part 2 of 2

A man and his dog vanished from an outback town of a dozen people, a few hundred metres from home. In Part Two, the rest of the world arrives to look for them.

The searches. The divers. A quarter-million-dollar reward. A listening device left running in a quiet house, and a voice in the dark that the police thought might finally be the break they'd been waiting for. An inquest, a coroner who stood up and said the word out loud, and then, years later, two flat sentences that brought the whole thing to a halt.

The conclusion of A Man and His Dog.
