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.

In 1974, 16-year-old Raelene Eaton and her 17-year-old cousin, Yvonne Waters, went missing after visiting a Perth pub to see a band. They have never been seen since.

Friends and family of the girls are as desperate for information as they were back then.

Journalist Melenie Ambrose has followed this case for many years. She produced the fantastic West Australian web series "The Vanishing Cousins," and she joins us today to tell us about several important new leads her investigation has discovered.

WA Police have released a 2 million dollar reward for information regarding their disappearances. You can make a report here to Crime Stoppers if you have any information.

Subscribers to the West Australian can view her web series here.

Also this week, I interviewed childhood best friends of Raelene Eaton, Lynne Caporn and Alison Russo. That episode is available for subscribers of ATC Plus on Apple Podcasts.
