Introducing: The Lost Boy - The disappearance of Mike Zhao-Beckenridge

Newsable - A podcast by Stuff Audio

It’s one of the most intriguing and harrowing unsolved mysteries in New Zealand’s modern history. In 2015, 11 year-old Mike Zhao-Beckenridge and his stepfather, John Beckenridge, disappeared in a remote part of Southland, leaving Mike’s mother and John’s former partner desperate for answers. John’s car was found two months later, having plunged into the ocean from an 80-metre cliff, but there was no sign of John or Mike.  Now a coroner is being asked to decide whether the pair are dead. To give you a sample of this new true crime podcast from Stuff Audio and The Press Newspaper, here’s episode one of The Lost Boy.
