Episode 41 - End of the Line: The unknown men killed on Australia’s railway lines.

In 1998, a man was killed while walking along the railway tracks in inner-city Perth. With no identification on his person and no information from the public, investigators couldn’t reunite the man with his family. History repeated itself 10 years later, in 2008 when another man was struck by a train in south-east Melbourne. He too was unable to be identified. These two men joined the more than 500 unidentified persons at any one time who are currently stored in morgues, or unmarked graves. Despite huge advances in forensic technology, and the development of a National Missing Persons and Victim System to link DNA records with reports of missing people, these two men remain unidentified. Investigators are sure that someone in the community knows something, and have renewed pleas for information.
