- Ep 2 -The Final Hours
In the days before Revelle Balmain vanished, she was a rising model with a promising future. But behind the glamour of Sydney's 1990s fashion scene was a world of sex, drugs and secrets.
In this episode, we hear from a photographer who met Revelle just days before she disappeared, uncover a bizarre rumour about a wealthy prince and retrace her final known movements.
As conflicting accounts emerge and unanswered pager messages pile up, one question remains: what really happened after Revelle's final appointment?

Episode 1: Her Name Was Misha
She was a young model and dancer with dreams of making it big overseas. But 22-year-old Revelle Balmain had another life, one her family and closest friends knew little about.
Working as an escort under the name Misha, Revelle was preparing to leave it all behind for a fresh start in Japan.
Then, in November 1994, she vanished.
More than 30 years later, questions remain about her secret life, the people around her and what really happened in the days before she disappeared.

So how does an experienced bushman simply disappear without a trace?
