Description

It’s been over 35 years since the night Sarah MacDiarmid vanished from the Kananook railway station on Wednesday, 11 July 1990. Blood evidence at the scene suggested Sarah had been attacked and may not have survived. But her attacker took her, and Sarah’s body has never been recovered.


After an extensive search and a police investigation which continues to this day, Sarah’s family hope this podcast will bring a renewed focus onto her case, and that someone listening will hold a piece of the puzzle that will help return Sarah to them.

Steve talking about one of the encounters he and his mom had with Denyer while they were driving: "we had seen him driving over the the...railway crossing in his little yellow car...". Like, maybe, the yellow car that a witness saw tearing out of the parking lot on the night Sarah disappeared?

"We will never stop searching for her, even after 30 years, if we receive a tip we will be there"... Proceeds to ignore tip about Sarah's purse found in regarding basin.
