Disappearance of Joanne Ratcliffe and Kirste Gordon

Joanne Ratcliffe and Kirste Gordon were Australian girls who went missing while attending an Australian rules football match at the Adelaide Oval on 25 August 1973. Ratcliffe and Gordon's disappearance, and presumed abduction and murder, made front page news in Adelaide's morning newspaper The Advertiser and the afternoon newspaper The News, and became one of the state of South Australia's most well known crimes. The case was mentioned in a Woman's Day 2011 article about the disappearance of Siriyakorn "Bung" Siriboon as part of a postscript on "Australian kidnapping mysteries involving children [that] tug at our heartstrings long after they faded from the news".
