THE WOMAN WHO NEVER CAME HOME | The Lynette Dawson Story

In January 1982, Lynette Dawson vanished from Sydney's Northern
Beaches.


There was no violent crime scene. No body. No confession. Just a
husband who claimed she had walked away and a family who never
believed she would abandon her children.


For decades, Lynette's disappearance remained one of Australia's
most infamous unsolved mysteries. Behind the image of the perfect
suburban family were allegations of control, a failing marriage,
and a teenage schoolgirl who became deeply embedded in the Dawson
household before Lynette disappeared.


In this episode, we examine the timeline of Lynette's
disappearance, the controversial relationship that sat at the
centre of the case, the decades-long investigation, the impact of
The Teacher's Pet podcast, and the remarkable murder trial that
ultimately led to Chris Dawson's conviction despite no body ever
being found.


More than forty years later, one question remains unanswered:


Where is Lynette Dawson?
