GUILT

Guilt, Season 7, Episode 1: I Love You, Mum

On Sunday the 30th of March 2003, Sara Niethe, a mother of three from the little Hauraki Plains village of Kerepehi, drove out to see a friend in nearby Kaihere. She never came home. In twenty three years, no trace of Sara, or of her light green 1987 Honda Civic, has ever been found.

Today, the 3rd of November, would have been Sara’s 55th birthday.

So before the case file, before the courtroom, this season of Guilt begins with her. Her son Dion, her close friend Janine and Moana, the teacher who taught her kids, remember the mum who was the loudest voice on the sideline, who brought the school PTA back to life, and who never once missed calling home.

This is Searching for Sara.
