Jack’s mum gets a shocking tip-off from a scared community member. With the rumour mill in overdrive, ABC journalist Rob Burgin tries to decipher what’s true and what’s not about the disappearance of Jack McLennan.

Love series 8. Really excellent construction of the unfolding situation. Absolutely compelling.
Great mixture of the personal and political. History and current events. Very moving, and informative, but also a feel for the funny and absurd.
Absolutely love Unravel. Blood on the tracks was my fave. Can’t wait for more seasons. Thank you !!
Listened to the 4 episodes and hoping there is more. Did Jack fall down a rabbit hole or was he a victim most foul. Well put together and researched. Insightful input from Jack’s parents and childhood best mate. Hoping more episodes released and parents get some answers. Definitely worth a listen!!
This podcast brought me to tears on more than one occasion. The injustice and sorrow are so powerfully woven can be tangibly felt as the story is told to us through the narrative. Beautifully crafted and deeply moving this tells a story of a family and uncle with love so deep it leaves an ache in your heart.
