Hello, I'm Allan Clarke, and I'd like to take a moment to introduce my podcast, Unravel: Blood on the Tracks. 
 

This is a story I’ve worked on for a large part of my life, and still, there are new revelations emerging.
 

It started decades ago, just outside Australia’s country music capital, when a young man’s body was found on the train tracks, surrounded by shattered Christmas presents and discarded wrapping paper.
 

For decades, the mystery has haunted Tamworth: How did Mark Haines die? Why has the truth remained buried for so long? And why did the initial investigation into the Gomeroi teenager’s death make so little progress? 
 

When Blood on the Tracks was released as the first ever season of the ABC’s true crime podcast Unravel in 2018, it won a Walkley award, and eventually, the authorities announced a new inquest.
 

Now, I’ve returned to Tamworth to cover some bombshell moments from the inquest. In many ways the truth is now closer than ever.
 

As the long-awaited final chapters of this saga unfold, revisit the story with new reporting and fresh case developments, starting today on the ABC listen app.
