Sally Greenham: The Silence at Bootenal

In August 1987, 28-year-old Sally Greenham failed to arrive at a work meeting in Geraldton, Western Australia. At first, there appeared to be a simple explanation. But as days turned into weeks, and weeks into years, Sally vanished not only from public view, but from every part of her life. Nearly four decades later, she has never been found. In this episode of Vanished West, we explore Sally's life in rural Bootenal, the unanswered questions surrounding her disappearance, the investigation that followed, and why her family are still searching for answers today.
