The disappearance of Les Ball is a cold case spanning decades, but a single, forged train ticket has emerged as a pivotal piece of evidence. This crucial detail, alongside conflicting accounts and a meticulously constructed deception, is casting a stark new light on what happened to the 71-year-old just before he vanished.
In this episode, we scrutinise a heavily debated hospital visit, unpack a trail of suspicious financial behaviour, and follow police as they race to identify whether a burned-out trailer holds the dark secret to Les’s final days.

It was a routine welfare check - something police officer Ian Ninness had done countless times before, but this time, he knew something was different. Three police investigations and two coronial inquests have failed to find out what happened to WWII veteran Leslie Ball, who vanished more than 30 years ago.
In the premiere episode of Perfect Alibi, investigative reporters Jo Townsend and Callum Denness begin their two-year investigation into the mystery surrounding his disappearance. They re-examine the facts behind a man who seemingly vanished into thin air after building his dream retirement home, leaving his daughter, Le-Chelle, on a 33-year mission to find the truth.

Three police investigations and two coronial inquests have failed to find out what happened to Leslie Ball, who vanished more than 30 years ago. Investigative reporters Jo Townsend and Callum Denness have spent two years trying to unravel what happened to the war veteran and grandfather as part of news.com.au's six-part true-crime podcast series Perfect Alibi. They’ve tracked down family members and former police investigators, uncovered evidence of fraud, and found links to the Melbourne underworld. They have also uncovered proof they say identifies who killed Mr Ball.
