SOLVED: Lynette Dawson Pt. 1

In January 1982, 33-year-old Lynette Dawson vanished from Bayview, on Sydney's northern beaches, and it would take 40 years to prove she had been murdered. A nurse and the mother of two young daughters, she had spent years trying to hold together a marriage to Chris Dawson, a former rugby league player and PE teacher the community adored. Months earlier, Chris had moved a teenage student into the family's spare room, and Lynette's friends had started noticing bruises on her arms. On the morning of Saturday, January 9th, she left to run errands and did not come home. Her clothes stayed in the closet, her bank accounts were never touched, and only her husband claimed to know where she was. In Part 1 of Murder: True Crime Stories, host Carter Roy introduces Lynette Dawson, the marriage that was unraveling behind closed doors, and the ordinary Saturday morning she left to run errands and was never seen again. Please note, this episode contains discussion of domestic abuse and the sexual abuse of a minor and may not be suitable for all audiences.
