What Happened to Marion? 

Mother of two Marion Barter, the former wife of Socceroo great Johnny Warren, disappeared while on holiday.

In 1997, Marion left for Europe on the trip of a lifetime. She was in regular contact with her daughter Sally until one day, she inexplicably vanished.

For more than 25 years, Sally and police have been investigating what happened, uncovering some astonishing information, including Marion’s name change, the use of her passport to travel back to Australia, how her bank account was emptied at a seaside town, not to mention the rumours at the school where she taught and the stranger she met before she left.

The team investigating the case has ruled out many possibilities and uncovered new information and leads which, we hope, will finally provide the answers Sally has for so long searched.

The Lady Vanishes podcast is available on most platforms, including Spotify, iTunes and acast.
