KERRYN TATE: 46 Years Too Late

What happens when a case goes cold — but because time got there first....

Because in true crime, some stories don’t stay unsolved due to a lack of effort.
They stay unsolved because the world simply didn’t have the tools to hear what the evidence was trying to say.

This week on Nocturne Files: True Crime, we step into the case of Kerryn Tate — last seen in daylight in Mount Lawley in 1979, and found the following morning in bushland near Karragullen.

For decades, her case lived inside a gap.
A small window of time where everything changed… and nobody could explain how.

Cold cases aren’t only about what we don’t know.
They’re about what stops moving.

Leads that run out.
Witnesses who forget.
Details that soften at the edges.
A file that stays open — but never progresses.

And yet, sometimes… the future shows up.

Not with a confession.
Not with a dramatic reveal.
But with science — patient, methodical, unromantic science — finally catching up to a question that’s been waiting for years.

This episode explores that shift.

Not with sensationalism or shock-value detail, but by sitting with what it means when an answer arrives late — and how a name can change the weight of silence, even when there’s no courtroom ending.

Because some truths don’t arrive loudly.
They arrive slowly.
Piece by piece.
Over decades.

That’s all I’ll say for now.

Thank you for being curious.
And thank you for being willing to sit with the unresolved parts — with care.

💜💛 You're all amazing, and thank you so much for your fantastic support! 💜💛

Grateful as always you living legends!!! And here's to more True Crime Episodes just around the corner....
