In January 1993, 20-year-old Tracey Valesini appeared at the Campbelltown Courthouse in Sydney for a legal matter. She was last seen sitting inside the courtroom that day.

After that moment, Tracey was never heard from again.

More than 30 years later, there is still no definitive answer about what happened to the young mother or where her remains may be. But the case has never truly gone cold. Journalist Ashlea Hansen has since uncovered new evidence, determined to keep Tracey’s story alive and bring long-overdue attention to her disappearance.
