Our take on The Teacher's Pet podcast

Chris Dawson was a star footballer and popular high school teacher. He seemed to be the ideal husband and a great family guy too. Then, one day, Lyn Dawson went missing from their fairy tale home beyond Sydney's northern shores.
A sordid story was lying below the shiny surface. Plenty of secrets, teenage student affairs, and potential killing.
Hedley Thomas explores this case in depth. The Teacher's Pet reveals shocking evidence in this crime, which hasn't been solved for 36 years.
