Hamish is due to be sentenced to jail in early 2019 for swindling a handful of victims out of more than $7m. But these crimes are just the final pages in a resume too thick to staple; for decades he’s duped victims in the US, Canada, Britain, Hong Kong and Australia. How did he do it? How did he evade authorities around the world for so long and what’s he done with all those tens of millions of dollars he stole?

This six part serial lifts the lid on the complicated world of dog detectives and the pet community in Australia. Andrea Thiis-Evensen has spent the last two years following two competing real-life Ace Venturas, who dedicate their lives to finding stolen and missing animals, each with their own team of ex police officers, drone operators and hackers. The Dog Detective brings you inside ongoing cases and will attempt to unravel the complicated web of the pet detective community.

Someone, somewhere, knows something. Almost 38,000 missing people are reported to police every year in Australia; that’s one every 14 minutes. Some do not return home. For their families, it’s a never-ending nightmare. For police, the search for answers can sometimes last for decades. The Missing Australia exists to change this. Presented by former police officer Meni Caroutas, it aims to break new ground on these cold cases – because there’s always someone out there who knows what happened to a missing person.
