I Saw Him After He Disappeared

Days after the inquest into Des Carr’s disappearance, a message arrives from a stranger named Robert.

Robert says he knew Des in the Kimberley—and is adamant that sometime after Des vanished in 1979, he bumped into him on a Perth street.

But when Robert called out his name, the man he believes was Des denied knowing him and claimed he had never even been to the Kimberley.

Then another extraordinary story emerges. Years after Des disappeared, a member of his own family remembers seeing a man in a Perth pub who she was convinced was her missing uncle.

Could Des have survived? Were both sightings simply cases of mistaken identity? Or does this completely change what we thought we knew about his disappearance?

Police are now looking into Robert’s account.
