Booking Overview

This investigative true-crime show focuses on Australian cold cases and missing persons, typically featuring external forensic specialists, advocates, investigators, and firsthand witnesses. Agencies could credibly pitch forensic scientists, missing-persons advocates, criminal investigators, researchers, and people with directly relevant case knowledge; booking difficulty is medium because the show is accessible to specialist guests but handles sensitive, legally delicate material.
