Episode 33 - Abduction at Adelaide Oval: The unsolved disappearance of Joanne Ratcliffe and Kirste Gordon.

On the 25th of August 1973, Joanne Ratcliffe and Kirste Gordon went to a Saturday afternoon football game with their families at Adelaide Oval. In the 3rd quarter, Joanne and Kirste went to the bathroom together. When they didn’t return to their seats 15 minutes later, Joanne’s mother became worried and began to look for the two girls, but it may have already been too late. Despite a number of witness accounts of the abduction, and potential links with similar cases, the disappearance of Joanne and Kirste remains unsolved.
