Crimes NZ: The disappearance of Heidi Charles

From Afternoons, 2:29 pm on 15 October 2020

On New Year's Eve in 1976, 36 year old mother of two, Heidi Charles was dropped off by her husband in central Rotorua to do some shopping. The plan was for her to meet him and their two sons back at their campervan an hour later. She never made it back and has not been seen nor heard from since. True crime writer Scott Bainbridge has looked into the baffling case.
