What happened to Alana Cecil on the night of November 9, 1996?
Hi. Before we get started on this new season of guilt, I just want to say a few words. If you're new to this podcast, welcome. I'm Ryan Wolfe. In 2013, I graduated with a degree in law from Waikato University in New Zealand, and in 2014, I passed the bar. In 2021, I started this podcast with the goal of using my legal background to investigate unsolved cold cases in New Zealand and Australia. And guilt has become one of Australasia's most popular true crime podcasts, with millions of downloads and winning multiple awards. But more importantly, it's been able to shine a light on cases that need it. For some of you, the style of this podcast will be unlike others you've heard. In this podcast, you're going to come along with me during a live investigation.
We'll be chasing leads, dead ends, and going down rabbit holes, staking out properties, and uncovering fresh evidence. It's no holds barred, and I must warn you that this podcast features mature content, including discussion of murder, sex, rape, and drug use. It's raw and real. because that's what life is. And when we pursue the truth, we need to be honest and upfront. Throughout this podcast, you'll meet many people and hear many names. Unless otherwise stated, these are all real people, and everyone should always be presumed innocent of any crime unless proven otherwise in a court of law. unless otherwise stated, police statements and other official documents will be read by actors. This is a free podcast, available on all good podcast platforms.

This is a real-life investigation, and it will continue until we reach a conclusion, whatever that might be. At times, this case is going to shock, sadden, and sicken you. And I hope it does, because it's through you, as collective listeners, that we have the power to pursue the truth. And finally, justice for Alana.

a group of teenagers make their way on foot through the streets of the small city of Melton, just outside of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. It's a beautiful blue-sky day, and thousands of locals are attending the biggest event of the year, the Gerowar Bonfire Festival. A day-long event featuring a street parade, live music, and finally a ceremonial bonfire. Billed as a family event, throughout the day, children enjoy the carnival rides and food stalls. But for local teenagers, the real fun begins when the sun sets. And for this group of friends, it's no different. As they approach the venue, they finish their drinks and stash what they can in the nearby bushes before entering the event. At this moment, an on-duty police officer drives past this group and sighs.
It's going to be a long night. For local Melton police, the Jerawah Festival is always a busy night on the calendar, as some take celebrations well into the night. In the early hours of Sunday the 10th of November, a local sergeant drives the streets.
