A much-loved mother, teacher and friend steps on a plane for an overseas adventure and is never seen again.


When Marion Barter disappeared in 1997, police initially dismissed it as the actions of a divorced mother abandoning her family. In this book, the creators of the addictive global hit podcast The Lady Vanishes detail the winding investigation into Marion's disappearance, from tentative early police efforts to her daughter's 27-year search for answers.

The Lady Vanishes is an engrossing story of how a small team of seasoned investigative journalists and storytellers, a daughter's intuition and a team of listener super-sleuths uncovered a web of intrigue spanning nine decades and three continents, and how - after 57 episodes, 20 million downloads and sparking a coronial inquiry - they discovered at the heart of the mystery a stranger-than-fiction international man of mystery who could hold the key to what really happened to Marion.

Alison Sandy is an award-winning print and broadcast journalist who specialises in crime and Freedom of Information. Her passion is ensuring Government is held to account and criminals are brought to justice.

Sally Eeles has more than 30 years' experience in broadcast journalism, in various roles from reporter to executive producer at all of Australia's major networks. She has received a number of awards, including a Walkley. She now works in International Development with journalists around the world.
