Black Snow

In 2003 Zoe Jacobs disappeared from the picturesque town of Moorevale during her own 21st birthday party. She packed her things into a blue backpack and walked out, withdrawing all her cash and leaving behind a note.

The new evidence gives Nadja and Sam hope that Zoe is still alive. But as Cormack puts together a timeline of Zoe’s disappearance, the old theory that Zoe drove to Brisbane doesn’t add up – it appears she didn’t leave Moorvale that night.

Cormack invites Sam to examine the contents of Zoe’s backpack and probe her memory for clues. Sam clocks a Jacobs Family Construction flyer with the word Sapphire written on it in Zoe’s handwriting.

The discover of Zoe’s remains sends shockwaves through the community, particularly for those clinging to hope that Zoe was still alive. Even Leo, who had grieved the loss of his daughter years ago, is distraught.

The field of suspects narrows; Sean’s computer reveals a history of despicable behaviour towards women, including the photos taken of Zoe without her consent.

Cormack is hot on the heels of Zoe’s killer after Julie is thrust into the spotlight. But it turns out that Leo had been lying about his alibi all along, and a revelation regarding the anonymous caller has Cormack racing against the clock to get to Sam.
