Shortcut: The woman helping families of the vanished in Australia

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed. 

Nicole Morris started a website more than 16 years ago called Australian Missing Persons Register. It was something she began as a personal project but it soon turned into a valuable resource and advocacy platform for the families and friends of missing people in Australia. 

Now some of these cases and stories are in her first book VANISHED, told through the experiences of siblings with a missing loved one - the desperate searches in the first days, the Police investigations and, for many, the heartbreak as the years, even decades, go by with no news and no answers. 

Nicole’s joined us for this episode. 

VANISHED is published by Big Sky Publishing and available for pre-order. It’s on the shelves and online on 7 June 2023.
