Her family know she is no longer alive, but they haven't given up hope of at least being able to give her a proper burial.

This year, Tracey would have been 54.

She's been missing for longer than she was alive.

Our guest today, News Corp investigative journalist Ashley Hansen, has been re-investigating the case, speaking to Tracey's loved ones and uncovering damning new evidence.

She joins us now to tell us about her discoveries.

Ashley, thank you for joining us on True Crime Conversations.

How did you come across this case and what made you decide to reinvestigate it all these decades later?

It's interesting that you said

The details kept surprising you because I had the same experience when I was reading and watching all of your content where I was like, that can't be right.

And I had to like backtrack and like, and I was like, are you sure?

And we'll get to all of those details.

But there are some parts of Tracy's story that you just think, what, how?

Like it's quite discombobulating.

Well, let's start with who Tracey was.

Tell us a bit about her home life, her childhood, who she was.

So you said she met this William, he goes by Billy,

known bikey in about 1992.

Did her sister know much about that relationship or was she not in contact with her family during this time?

I want to get to that in a minute, but I want to, context-wise, a bit about the Comancheros in that early 90s timeframe.

You said that Jock was one of the kind of higher up guys, Billy not so much, but what can you tell us about the Comancheros during that time more broadly?
