adelaide oval abduction: unknown Bones

For over 50 years, Alex Bone’s name was absent from the record, omitted from the inquest, ignored in official files, and unknown even to Joanne Ratcliffe’s own sister. But Alex was there. He went to the football with the Ratcliffes. He searched for Jo and Kirste that afternoon. And, in this episode, he finally tells his story.This is not just a recollection, it’s a revelation that challenges everything we thought we knew about the Adelaide Oval abduction. From a timeline that no longer holds to police being denied access to key areas of the Oval, unknown Bones uncovers details long buried, and asks the questions no one else has.Because when the official story doesn’t match the lived truth… It’s time to listen to the voices left behind.Abbreviations & ExplanationsACB = The Australian Cricket Board - the governing body of all cricket matters in Australia.COPPERS = Australian slang for PoliceFAT CAT = Fat Cat was a popular children's television program for South Australian Children.
