The ABC uncovers new evidence shedding light on a 90-year-old cold case mystery | ABC NEWS


In a groundbreaking ABC investigation, reporter Jason Walls takes on one of the Northern Territory’s most enduring cold case mysteries; the disappearance of Yolngu clan leader, Dhakiyarr Wirrpanda.

Dhakiyarr disappeared without a trace in Darwin 90 years ago and many suspect he was the victim of extra-judicial homicide at the hands of a policeman.

Trawling through the archives, Jason unearths crucial new evidence, and travels to remote Arnhem land to share his findings with Dhakiyarr’s family. This report was filed for ABC News Northern Territory.
