Under Investigation on Nine Network: The Case of Ray and Jenny Kellett
Documentary series about the mysterious disappearance in the Australian outback
Quick Facts
What is the series about?
Under Investigation on Nine Network delves into one of the most mysterious cases from the Australian outback in its 8th season. The documentary series, led by experienced journalist Liz Hayes, investigates the tragic events surrounding the couple Ray and Jenny Kellett. The couple ventured into the remote terrain of Western Australia to search for gold along with their friend Graham Milne. However, the expedition ended in tragedy, with only Graham Milne returning alive. He claimed that the couple had disappeared during the trip, but his explanations have since been met with intense skepticism from both relatives and investigators.
The real case
The real case of Ray and Jenny Kellett is marked by conflicting accounts and controversial decisions during the police's initial investigation. Ray Kellett was found dead at the bottom of a deep mine shaft, while his wife Jenny vanished without a trace and has never been found. Central to the investigation is Graham Milne, who was the last person to see the couple alive. Western Australia Police and Detective Sergeant Steven Cle revealed in the program that there were already plans in 2018 to charge Milne, but the case stalled.
Journalist Liam Bartlett has played a crucial role in bringing new information to light. During the work on Under Investigation, it has emerged that there is forensic evidence that the police apparently overlooked or ignored in the early stages of the investigation. One of the most criticized details of the case is that Milne was allowed to camp unsupervised in the area while the search for the couple was ongoing, which potentially could have given him the opportunity to remove evidence.
