Trudie Adams asked her mum to wait up for her the night she left the party at Newport Surf Club and put her thumb out into the traffic on Barrenjoey Road. She never made it home... Almost 40 years on, Trudie’s disappearance remains a mystery, an infamous cold case that stands in stark relief against the cool surf culture, the gleaming new suburbs and malls of Sydney’s Northern Beaches in 1978. Over the years, more and more facts have emerged. They combine to make the picture more intriguing and chilling. There is far more to this story than just an unsolved murder. This true crime story begins with Trudie and what may have happened to her long ago. But it leads, over three compelling hours, into the dark heart of Australia now: high-level corruption, cover-ups, massive drug deals and many murders in which the bodies have not remained hidden.
Who killed six year old beauty pageant queen JonBenét Ramsey in the dead of night? Twenty years after the child’s body was discovered in the basement of the family’s Colorado home on Christmas morning, the mystery remains unsolved. Now, with access to the massive case archive assembled by director Lawrence Schiller, the story is told in a way that no other documentary can - through interviews and evidence from people intimately involved with the tragedy. Schiller talks to family members, police detectives and members of the District Attorney’s office and uncovers fresh information from those involved to tell the story of JonBenét’s killing like never before. Time has not diminished the spectre of JonBenét - the macabre gaudiness of beauty pageant America always seemed a curiously appropriate backdrop for a crime of the worst order.
