Fear intensifies around the usually quiet towns of Bargo and Gerroa, as word spreads a serial killer could be responsible for two murders.

Police establish Rachelle Childs’ burned, half naked body was discovered just metres away from that of another murdered woman, young mum Jodie Fesus.

Ash and Damian go back to Crooked River Road and uncover crucial physical evidence, mapping out the crime scene and the timeline against chilling witness statements from the night Rachelle was murdered.

Kristy wonders if restoring Rachelle’s beloved blue 1978 Holden will help her hold onto her sister’s memory – even if it’s possible the killer was the last person to drive it.

Dear Rachelle is hosted and investigated by journalist Ashlea Hansen, who teams up with retired detective and renowned cold case specialist Damian Loone.
