About this listen

In 1969, 20-year-old Lucille Butterworth vanished from a bus stop near Hobart, Tasmania. For decades, her disappearance remained one of Australia’s most haunting cold cases. In this episode, Adam Shand speaks with former detective constable Cary Mark Millhouse, who helped reopen the investigation and uncover the truth buried in old police files and forgotten confessions.

Through meticulous detective work, Millhouse and his colleagues linked Lucille’s disappearance to convicted killer Jeffrey Charles Hunt — a man who confessed to the crime multiple times, yet never faced trial. Together, Adam and Cary revisit the evidence, the failures of early police work and the heartbreak of a family still waiting for justice.
