About this listen
The chilling true story of the heinous murder of Karlie Pearce-Stevenson and daughter Khandalyce and how the case was cracked.
How did two girls go missing for seven years and nobody noticed? In August 2010, dirt bike riders discovered human bones in the notorious Belanglo State Forest, where Ivan Milat had so cruelly tortured and slain seven young backpackers. The remains were those of a young woman, who the police dubbed 'Angel' after a T-shirt emblazoned with the word 'Angelic' that was found near the body.
But 'Angel' lay unidentified for years. Who was she, how did she die, and at whose hand?
Then, in July 2015, the bones of a child were found by a highway in South Australia. Identification was made quickly: clothing and a blanket found near the suitcase matched that in a photo of two-year-old Khandalyce Pearce-Stevenson, who, along with her young mother, had not been seen for some years.
Police were quick to identify Angel as Karlie Pearce-Stevenson, Khandalyce's mother. In the grimmest of scenarios, mother and daughter were reunited at last.
The Lost Girls is the chilling true story of this heinous double murder and how the police eventually tracked down the killer, who not only murdered the two girls but stole the young mother's identity to claim more than $90,000 in benefit payments.

Sad but sensitively told
A compelling and comprehensive narrative which covered the viewpoints of the many people involved in these sad events. "Enjoyable" is never the right word when it is a story about innocent victims and their loved ones but as far as it is possible to appreciate a well-researched and well-narrated story - I did appreciate this one.

Sad Story
I listened to this story as I personally know Tanya Webber and recall this horrendous murder happening.
Unfortunate that the narrater pronounced Tanya’s name incorrectly throughout the book and lacked character in her voice.
Still worth a listen.

Excellent True Crime Story
I really enjoyed the extra details in this book. I found out about it from an Australian Podcast. Any fan of True Australian crime stories will love it too.

Amazing
So well documented and I feel gives a “voice” to the murder victims in telling their side of the story.

Heartbreakingly amazing
I have never listened to anything so well documented, factual, brutally honest and so heartbreaking as this book. My tears flowed often for the lost girls, their friends and their family and my anger roared at hearing not only the inhuman beings account of his early life and his constant referral to his sufferings and his blatant lies but also the female, supposedly a loving mother, who stood by him even after he stole the lives of her own children. I started listening from start to finish without interruption, I could not leave this unfinished. Narrated with utter grace and kindness, written truly from the heart so all who have been destroyed by this inhuman being would have their grief filled voices heard and two gentle one’s souls kept alive. An absolute privilege to hear truth and the acknowledgements to all who brought him to justice. Thank you.
