Black Coast Vanishings: The new doco exploring Piha's missing people mystery

The Front Page - A podcast by NZ Herald

Over the last three decades, six people have disappeared from the Piha area on Auckland’s west coast, all never to be seen again. While none of the bodies have been found, coroners have ruled most of the cases likely to be accidents or self-inflicted, and Police have treated them all separately. Yet for some, three men and three women vanishing from the same area feels like too much of a coincidence. Now, mystery documentary on ThreeNow, Black Coast Vanishings, has examined all six cases, and the effects they’ve had on those left behind. Today on The Front Page, co-directors Megan Jones and Candida Beveridge join to unpack the series that has got the country talking.
