The award-winning 7NEWS true crime investigation podcast, The Lady Vanishes , has surpassed 10 million streams and downloads since its launch in 2019.

The 7NEWS.com.au production delves into the true story of much-loved mother, teacher and friend, Marion Barter, who boarded a plane for an overseas adventure 22 years ago and was never seen again.

The riveting 51-episode series continues to enthral listeners as they follow Marion’s daughter’s pursuit for answers.

The Lady Vanishes executive producer, Alison Sandy said: “Since its launch in 2019, The Lady Vanishes has been a labour of love for all involved. NSW Police initially dismissed the case, however, they have since reopened the investigation after listening to the podcast. It finally feels like we are getting close to a resolution. We’re closing in on the culprit.

“A special thanks to Seven Network Director of News and Public Affairs, Craig McPherson, and everyone who made this podcast possible by investing support for our project from the start.”

New episodes are being released sporadically, depending on the investigation, new details and the inquest.
