On a warm January morning in 1965, fifteen-year-old friends Marianne Schmidt and Christine Sharrock boarded a train to Cronulla for what should have been an ordinary day at the beach.
They never came home.
Hours later, the girls vanished into the vast Wanda Sandhills, accompanied by a mysterious teenage boy seen only by Marianne's seven-year-old brother. By the following afternoon, one of Australia's most haunting murder investigations had begun.
In Part One of this two-part series, we follow Marianne and Christine's final journey, uncover the disturbing discovery that shocked Sydney, and examine the enormous police investigation that followed. Thousands of witnesses were interviewed, countless leads were pursued, and a nation became captivated by one question...
Who was the mysterious "Surfy"?
Join The Eclectic as we explore one of Australia's most enduring unsolved mysteries.
🎧 Part Two continues the investigation, examining the suspects, modern DNA evidence and the theories that still divide investigators more than sixty years later.
