Disappearance of Sarah MacDiarmid

Sarah MacDiarmid (born 15 November 1966) was a 23-year-old Scottish-Australian woman who disappeared from Kananook railway station in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia on 11 July 1990.

[1] MacDiarmid, who emigrated with her family in 1987 from the Scottish Highlands to Australia,[2] had been playing tennis after work with two friends at what was then known as Flinders Park in Batman Avenue, East Melbourne, before walking to Richmond station, where they found that they had just missed a Frankston line train.

Police suspected that MacDiarmid had been assaulted, based on bloodstains found beside her red 1978 Honda Civic abandoned in the station car park,[3] and drag marks leading into the bushes.

In May 2006, an inquest held by coroner Ian West,[2] found MacDiarmid "had met her death as a result of foul play but the exact circumstances were unknown".

In 2010, marking the 20th anniversary of MacDiarmid's disappearance, her family and friends visited Kananook railway station to leave wreaths at a memorial established there.
