    PRESENTS — What Became of Jack

    25/05/2026 | 2 mins.
    The brand new season of hit true crime podcast, Unravel, is available now. 'What Became of Jack' investigates how a fit young man disappeared from a picnic spot, leaving a trail of strange clues behind him. The belongings he left behind are discarded in a way that seems nonsensical, and to some, even sinister. Is he missing, has he left town or has there been a crime? Concern turns to suspicion and online speculation as weeks turn into months, with no sign of Jack. Now, ABC journalist Rob Burgin investigates what became of Jack, tracing the fragments of that night through a web of small Queensland towns, where everyone knows everyone, everyone knows something, but no one can agree on what became of Jack.
    What Became of Jack is the latest season of the ABC's award-winning true crime podcast, Unravel. Follow Unravel to be the first to get new episodes.

    05/12/2025 | 3 mins.
    The ABC's biggest investigative true crime podcast Unravel has just dropped their new season, Huntsman, and it's already rocketing up the podcast charts.
    You might remember when former Jetstar pilot Greg Lynn was convicted of murder in the High Country. The story made headlines when Lynn admitted to burning the campers' bodies to cover his tracks.
    But behind the scenes, people who knew him years ago began talking and sending messages.
    It sparked an ABC investigation that uncovered the full story of his dark past and his abusive relationship with his first wife, Lisa Lynn, which ended in tragedy.
    In this new season, investigative reporter Rachael Brown uncovers the details of Greg Lynn's former life and the fear and damage he left behind him in the suburbs.
    You can find the podcast on ABC listen, or search for Unravel: Huntsman wherever you get your podcasts.
