## Resource

The daughter of Marion Barter, who vanished in 1997, testified at a parliamentary inquiry revealing how New South Wales Police’s unsolved homicide unit is stretched too thin—just 38 officers handle over 700 cold cases—leaving families like hers without closure after decades. With crucial leads ignored and resources scarce, victims’ families are demanding more staff, better community collaboration, and national reforms including a missing persons register and remains review, hoping upcoming hearings will finally spark real change.
