66 Tasmanians are listed on the Australian Missing Persons Register, including 11 from the North-West Coast.
Two of the more high-profile Coastal cases are Devonport’s Darlene Geertsema, who was last seen in 1978 and young Burnie mother Helen Munnings, who disappeared in 2008.
Police believe both may have met with foul play and there’s still a $500,000 reward on offer to help solve either case.
