On a perfect spring day in 1992, a community barbecue by New Zealand's stunning Lake Wakatipu turned into every parent's worst nightmare. Two-year-old Amber-Lee Cruickshank vanished without a trace in less than 20 minutes—and 32 years later, nobody knows what happened to her.

Was she taken by the lake's icy waters? Abducted by a stranger? Or did someone she trusted commit the unthinkable? Host Paul Stiling takes you deep into one of New Zealand's most haunting cold cases, exploring every theory from accidental drowning to dark family secrets.

With a $100,000 reward still on offer and police convinced she was murdered, this isn't just another missing person case—it's a mystery that has torn apart a small Otago community and continues to generate new leads three decades later.

Join us as we examine the evidence, the theories, and the heartbreaking questions that have haunted investigators since that October day in Kingston. Because somewhere out there, someone knows what happened to Amber-Lee.

"Someone has information that could finally bring resolution to this case... The question is whether they'll ever come forward."
