Belinda Peisley's life descended into chaos after her 18th birthday when she received a big inheritance and bought her own place in Katoomba. Her family hoped the house would set her up for life but, instead, her new address became a magnet for a world of drugs and crowd of people who’d turn up at all hours. Six months later, Belinda disappeared. In the months before she vanished, Belinda told her family she was scared — even that she wanted to change her identity and leave town — but they couldn’t imagine why anyone would want to hurt her.Join reporter Gina McKeon as she travels to Katoomba to begin to understand what happened to Belinda Peisley.

We go inside the courtroom at Belinda Peisley's inquest to hear firsthand the arguments, phone taps and witness testimony. Jason*, Belinda's boyfriend at the time, says he met up with her on the night she disappeared. They had an argument at her house and he left. It's the last time he ever saw her. Jason is from a footy family in the Mountains and his father John* wasn't impressed his son was going out with someone from the so-called 'junkie' crowd.Hear the inquest testimony from Jason and his father as they answer questions about Belinda's disappearance. *We've changed their names for legal reasons.

Despite the uncomfortable nature of this podcast, I got a lot out of it. Extremists usually come out of the woodwork when times are tough financially. For the most part, racism starts in the cradle.

I'm really enjoying this series. I used to live in kings cross and often used to sit on Juanita's doorstep (feel sorry for whoever owned it then). I haven't lived there in years but have often thought of the birds that are also recorded in this series. can someone please tell me what they are

I agree with Pipp! I have always thought the development angle wasn't enough bc it's not like Juanita was the only thing getting in the way....why would juanita be the sole target?? unless you say she was an easy target to be a warning to others getting in the way...but I think that's a stretch. and I would like to know (having never been to Victoria street) after Juanita was gone didbthe development move forward??

Yes! Another 'Unravel' is finally starting. Things in Kings Cross were insane in the 60' & 70's so this should be a good series.

The braindead Boomer dad is so frustrating. Pasting emails into Word docs, not bothering to tell his son that the lawyer was actually Lezley, hiring a PI who enables L to avoid the NZ cops… What a tool. I'm surprised he didn't lose his house earlier.

I think you did realy realy well. So brave and clever to confront her and get her to listen to you. You did the best you could do; you made her uncomfortable and exposed her as a con in a very well mannered way.

lol, you think she's really going to meet with you??? it's no wonder you were all taken in 🤦‍♀️ You are all so nice, which is why the Lezlie Manukians of the world can operate as they do. She is clearly a narcissist with sociopathic tendencies! Her tears were so fake, did you really think she meant that? she has no empathy for anyone. Ugh..... How could you even feel a second of sadness for her? she brought it all on herself, and fucked everyone over to do it.
