Summary

Forty-Seven year old Australian Paul Stevenson took his prized motorcycle out for an early morning ride. He’d done this countless times before but this time he didn’t return. After extensive searching, police were able to locate his motorcycle and helmet, but no signs of Paul.

The bike was found at the bottom of an embankment, minor damage but nothing to suggest an accident. No skid marks, no blood, and for eight years now the police and his family have struggled to discover the truth. What happened to Paul Stevenson and why did he never come home?
