Episode Details

A decade later, the chilling case of missing AFL legend Barry Breen’s brother, Brendan, takes a dramatic turn as a 72-year-old man, Brian James Hall, is charged with his murder. Last seen in Melbourne in April 2012, Brendan vanished without a trace—his bank accounts and phone went dark, and his ex-partner reported him missing after he abruptly disappeared. Initially thought to have simply fled, police now believe foul play was involved. Hall, who pleaded not guilty, is set to face trial in the Supreme Court next month. Brendan, with a troubled past including fraud and prison time, had a twin sister who emotionally begged for leads, sensing something was terribly wrong. After arresting and releasing another suspect earlier this year, investigators have now zeroed in on Hall, bringing closure—or at least answers—to a haunting mystery that’s gripped the family and the community for over a decade.
