Australian teenager Natasha Ryan (14) was having some difficulties in 1998. Her parents had divorced and she had been experimenting with drugs and alcohol.
One morning in August 1998, Natasha’s mother dropped her off at school. Her daughter never made it home.
For years, police and the family searched for Natasha. It was believed that she was possibly a victim of Leonard Fraser, a serial killer that had been operating in the area. Fraser was charged with the murder of Natasha, as well as other women.
During Fraser’s trial, an anonymous tip was called in to police. They searched a house in Rockhampton, Queensland. Natasha was found alive and well, hiding in a cupboard.
