In November 2007, Philip Mather was arrested on suspicion of luring his good mate, 22-year old Jimmy O’Connell, out into the Northern Territory bush, punching and stomping him into unconsciousness, before setting fire to Jimmy’s car... with Jimmy in it. But did he do it? Jimmy’s parents don’t think so. Journalist Mark Whittaker investigates.

After 11 years in prison, Philip Mather insists he is not responsible for the death of his friend Jimmy O’Connell. Journalist Mark Whittaker tracks him down to sit face-to-face with a man convicted of a brutal killing.

Two best mates who see each other every day suddenly start hurling abuse at each other in a supermarket - and then one of them goes missing. Could Jimmy O’Connell’s last day tell us anything about what happened to him?

Less than three weeks after Jimmy O’Connell went missing, the police receive news of a shocking discovery out in the bush. While the investigation gets underway, a friend of Jimmy’s comes to the family with an extraordinary accusation.

Jimmy O’Connell’s relatives are desperate to find the truth about what happened to him. A pathologist’s report should provide key evidence, but the O’Connell family feel there is something they are not being told.

A lot of people in the Northern Territory seem to know a lot more about Jimmy’s disappearance than the police do. As Jimmy’s parents bring in a psychic detective to help with the case, it gets harder to tell fact from fiction.

As the trail grows cold and leads dry up, the O’Connell family start to lose faith in the police. But two witnesses come forward to change the course of the case for good.

Mark’s investigation into Jimmy’s disappearance reaches a pivotal moment when he meets someone who claims she was there when he was killed. Will she agree to be interviewed?
