It has been months in the making, but police are opening up the files on the missing Nannup Four for Expanse host Dominique Bayens, and there's news on another search.
Jeremy SpiveyGuestJessica SicuroGuestBarry McIntoshGuestI've actually spoken to the man from Human Remains Detection Dogs of Western Australia, who coordinated the twenty twenty-four search, to understand how significant or not it is that the dogs picked up a scent.
As he put it, "They don't react to meat pies, and they don't react to dead roos.
Barry McIntosh, Chantelle's uncle and retired Victorian copper with thirty-five years, largely in major crime investigations, remembers it as pretty significant, too.
In the last few days, in light of where things have fallen with police, Barry has told me he's going to do another final search.
do.The search is planned to happen in late 2026 depending on whether Barry can crowdfund the money needed in that time.
You might recall their previous search only got off the ground because Peter Grieves and Barry sunk their own cash into it.
Barry started investigating his niece's disappearance during COVID, and he's not super impressed with how things were handled.
I think, um, the, the investigation by the police on the, in Western Australia is, uh, was not thorough, and they jumped to conclusions a bit too much.
Primarily, uh, they didn't, uh, interview the prisoners or the prison officer at all in both investigations.
So I put one email and one phone call from the other side of the country to speak to the prison officer and got the correct coordinates of the, uh, where the prisoners were.
And from that information and what you read in the police investigation, where do you think they might be, Chantelle and Leela, Simon and Toni?
I'm working on the assumption that, um, they're at North Cliff buried somewhere on that track.
I can't help thinking what happens if this new final search comes back without answers just like the last one.
