<p>Deep in the suburbs of south-east Melbourne, a young woman who believed herself to be the reincarnation of Christ, began to build a following based on New Age ideologies and practices. Anne Hamilton-Byrne quickly developed a following of adults who would worship her like a god, and do anything, including break the law, to help "The Family". The cult set up a network to facilitate the fraudulent adoption of children to create the next master race. These children were given heavy doses of sedatives and hallucinogens and had their food restricted as punishment for breaking the rules. It wasn't until one of them ran away that authorities became aware of the cult operating right under their noses.</p>

<p>In 2012, 23-year-old Leisl Smith got into a white ute at Tuggerah Railway Station on the New South Wales Central Coast. She hadn't told anyone where she was going, or who she was going with, but when she didn't return home that night to tend to her horses her family knew something was wrong. The investigation into Leisl's disappearance was slow, leaving her family without closure for a long period of time. Finally, 6 years after her disappearance, a man was arrested for Leisl's murder, giving the family hope for justice. But a series of tragic events may mean they never know what happened to Leisl a decade ago.</p>

In 2019, a young woman, using the pseudonym Alice, came forward and reported that she had been sexually assaulted by the volunteer massage therapist she met at her childhood netball games. In the tight-knit community of northern Tasmania, news spreads fast, and within months another 4 women had alleged that the same man, Jim Griffin, had groomed and assaulted them too. The subsequent police investigation exposed a man who had dedicated his life and career to getting close to young girls, which sparked a lot of questions about how his offending, which started in the 1980s had flown under the radar for so long.
