LYN Dawson vanished without a trace three decades ago – and nobody knows for sure what happened to her.
Here we explain who she is, when she went missing, and whether her husband Chris was involved in her disappearance.
Who was Lyn Dawson?
Lyn Dawson is a Sydney housewife who vanished 36 years ago after discovering that her teacher husband had been having an affair with a pupil.
Her husband Chris Dawson was suspected of killing her, but cops never charged him with her murder due to a lack of evidence.
He had been having an affair with his 16-year-old pupil Joanne Curtis.
Just weeks before she died, Lyn confronted Joanne and allegedly said to her: “You’ve been taking liberties with my husband.”
When did she go missing?
In December 1981, Joanne and Chris “ran away” to start a new life in Queensland. But she panicked and they returned to Sydney to continue their affair.
Then in January 1982, while Joanne was away with friends, Lyn vanished.
Chris claims Lyn had told him she was going away for a while and “not to worry about her”.
But just two days after his wife’s disappearance, Chris moved Joanne back into the family home.

Was husband Chris Dawson involved?
Even though Lyn’s body has never been found, two separate coroners in Sydney, Australia, have concluded that Chris killed her.
But the director of public prosecutions in New South Wales twice ruled there was insufficient evidence to charge Chris with murder.
Chris, who now lives in Queensland with his third wife, denies murdering Lyn – and bizarrely claims to have spotted her in the background of an episode of the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow filmed in Padstow, Cornwall.
