Katie Matters.... Missing 7,227 days

In December 2005, 45-year-old Kathleen “Katie” O’Shea travelled from Melbourne to North Queensland to meet her first grandchild. She never arrived. Nearly twenty years later, Katie’s daughter Lily shares the story of her mother’s disappearance — a journey marked by unanswered questions, lost opportunities, and a family’s enduring hope for justice. This episode of The Missing Matter unpacks the investigation, the inquest, and the pain of living without answers in one of Australia’s most haunting missing person cases.If you know someone who is dealing with a missing person, and would like to share your story, contact Sally at [email protected]
