520    The chilling true story of the heinous murder of Karlie 
       Pearce-Stevenson and daughter Khandalyce and how the case 
       was cracked. How did two girls go missing for six years 
       and nobody noticed? In August 2010, dirt bike riders 
       discovered human bones in the notorious Belanglo State 
       Forest, where, years earlier, Ivan Milat had so cruelly 
       tortured and slain seven young backpackers. The remains 
       were those of a young woman, who police dubbed 'Angel' 
       after a T-shirt emblazoned with the word 'Angelic' found 
       nearby. But 'Angel' lay unidentified for years. Who was 
       she, how did she die, and at whose hand? Then, in July 
       2015, the bones of an unknown child were found in a 
       suitcase by a highway in South Australia. Weeks later, a 
       call to Crime Stoppers was the lead police needed. 
       Clothing and a blanket found near the suitcase matched 
       those in a photo of two-year-old Khandalyce Pearce who, 
       with her young mother, had left Alice Springs in 2008 and 
       hadn't been seen since. Through DNA, police were quick to 
       identify Angel as Karlie Pearce-Stevenson, Khandalyce's 
       mother. In the grimmest of scenarios, mother and daughter 
       were reunited at last. The Lost Girls is the chilling true
       story of this heinous double murder and how investigators 
       tracked down the killer, who not only murdered the two 
       girls but stole the young mother's identity to defraud 
       authorities and her worried family of more than $70,000. 
       It's the tale of a vivacious young woman keen to discover 
       the world; a loving family desperate for answers; 
       dedicated investigators who never give up; and a vicious 
       killer with form who lies to the end in a bid to save 
       himself. Gripping and authentic, The Lost Girls celebrates
       the short lives of a young woman and her daughter and the 
       investigators determined to bring them home.
