193. The Wanda Beach Murders

from GBNF: A True Crime Podcast · host Lance Ryan

On January 11th, 1965 Marianne Schmidt and Christine Sharrock would take Marianne's four youngest siblings to Wanda Beach for the day for an outting. The beach that day though was closed because of bad weather. Marianne and Christine left the children behind and went into the secluded dune-area of the beaah and tragically would never be seen again. This case is one of Australia's most gruesome unsolved murders, and now, 65 years later, many wonder if there will ever be answers in this case.
