She went for a drive with her son. After that, everything is a mystery. No charges. No body. No legal outcomes. Her name is Kathleen (Katie) O'Shea. She was only 44. Katie's daughter Lily has spent more than half her life not knowing who killed her mum. Somewhere in the vast Atherton Tablelands in Queensland is her body and the evidence police need to charge Katie's killer. Today, Lily tells the She Matters Podcast how hard it has been to maintain hope that justice will prevail, and she explains how her mum's murder has impacted her life. This episode discusses domestic violence and murder. It is not for children. This is Kathleen's story.

This season of She Matters is supported by Verve Super, committed to women’s financial security and standing against violence in all its forms. She Matters is also proudly supported by Your One and Only and UNTMD Media.

Women in Australia retire with 23% less super than men — a real super gender gap. Our financial lives can be complex, and many of us don’t know who to turn to for support in a system not built with us in mind. That’s why Verve created a community for women, men and non-binary people who believe in closing the super gap.
