Detective Karl Jenkins receives a call from Detective Jeremy Harding of the Broken Hill Police Station, revealing a new missing person case connected to Luke Smith.
As Detective Karl Jenkins sits at his desk, he receives a phone call from Detective Jeremy Harding of the Broken Hill Police Station. Detective Harding informs Karl that he is investigating the disappearance of a young man named Paul, who is believed to have traveled from Broken Hill to Hobart after an argument with his wife.
The connection to Karl's case becomes apparent when Detective Harding reveals that Paul's brother, who bought him the plane ticket, is none other than Luke Smith. The news sends a shockwave through Karl, as he realises the implications of this new information.
Karl shares with Detective Harding that he has been investigating Luke Smith for the past week, suspecting him of being responsible for the disappearance of at least five other people. The two detectives agree to collaborate, with Karl promising to look into Paul's whereabouts after leaving the Hobart airport. The possibility of Luke's family in Adelaide being in danger adds another layer of urgency to the already complex case.
