COLD CASE: Missing 12 Years in Tasmania (Nicola Sallese)

Our search takes us deep into Launceston, Tasmania, where we believe Nicola Sallese might have ended up because this is where his late wife, Jill's, grave is located. Nicola, having been diagnosed with dementia, had reportedly shown deteriorating driving skills with recent accidents including hitting a car in a post office and a guardrail.

In this episode, join Dan from Downunder Search and Recovery and Bill McIntosh as they embark on a quest to solve a cold case that has bewildered Australia for nearly 12 years. Our mission is to uncover the mystery behind the disappearance of Nicola Sallese, a Sheffield man last seen driving through Sheffield in his 2006 Toyota Camry in November 17, 2008. His disappearance continues to be a traumatic mystery for his family and friends.

We're scanning each water body in the town, investigating possible targets that could be a submerged vehicle. As civilian divers, we're offering our services free of charge, hoping to bring closure to families like Nicola's who have almost given up.

Our journey led us to a pile of vehicles dumped in the water, a common practice years ago, but no trace of Nicola's car. With our sonar equipment, we systematically scan the depths of Lake Trevallyn Boat Ramp, which is part of the Hydro Tasmania group where Nicola worked as a hydro dam electric specialist.

As we expand our search parameters, we're resolved to clear each body of water in Launceston, starting from the cemetery and working our way out. We aim to clear ten bodies of water today, ensuring we've left no stone unturned.

Follow us as we leave no depth unexplored, in our relentless pursuit to solve the disappearance of Nicola Sallese. Witness the dedication and determination of our team in solving this cold case and bringing a sense of closure to Nicola's family.
