In 2001, British tourist Peter Falconio and his girlfriend Joanne Lees were traveling around the world on the trip of a lifetime.

On a cold night in June 2001, the couple were driving through the remote Australian outback. A passing motorist named Bradley John Murdoch motioned to the couple to stop their vehicle because of car troubles. Peter pulled over and got out of the car. What happened next is the stuff of nightmares.

Joanne heard a loud bang and Peter dropped out of sight. Bradley then attempted to abduct Joanne, but she managed to escape into the desert where she hid for hours.

Bradley would eventually be charged with Peter’s murder, but Joanne faced vicious attacks from the media who questioned her every move. The media interest in this trial was so large that the court went under a massive renovation costing almost $1 million dollars.

23 years later, Peter’s body has never been found.
