Episode Description from the Publisher

WA Police have acknowledged that earlier searches in the investigation into the Nannup Four were conducted in the wrong location. Retired detective Barry McIntosh, who has long pushed for answers in the case, believes the corrected coordinates point to a more accurate search area near Northcliffe, where clothing and the reported smell of human remains were allegedly detected after the group disappeared. Today, we check in with ABC investigative journalist Dominique Bayens about the latest developments in the case. LINKS Find out more about Barry's search for The Nannup Four.
