The Search for Natasha Ryan
Believing she might have fallen prey to Black, the police ran an extensive search. Bushlands were burnt down to aid the investigation, and local state emergency services were called out. The search cost about $400,000. After the long investigation, they still couldn’t find her, and assumed she was dead.

Natasha’s family had a memorial service held in Bundaberg, a place in Queensland. The memorial was held on her birthday on the 9th of May, 2001. After two years, she was found just a few kilometers from her home. Take note that she’d disappeared for four years and eight months.
