Australian police have begun digging at the former home of a Sydney woman whose disappearance in 1982 has recently attracted global attention.<\/p>\n

Lynette Dawson, a mother of two, vanished without a trace. Her husband, Chris Dawson, said she had left the family – perhaps for a religious group. <\/p>\n

Mr Dawson has denied murdering his wife after two coroners’ inquests found she had been killed by a “known person”. <\/p>\n

A popular podcast, The Teacher’s Pet, has brought wide attention to the case.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, police said they had begun a five-day forensic search of the couple’s former home in the suburb of Bayview.<\/p>\n

An inquest in 2003 found Mr Dawson, a former rugby league star and high school teacher, had had sexual relationships with teenage students.<\/p>\n

One 16-year-old girl moved in with Mr Dawson’s within days of his wife’s disappearance. The pair later married, but have since separated.<\/p>\n

Two separate inquests recommended that murder charges be laid against a “known person”.<\/p>\n

‘More extensive’ search<\/h2>\n

Police have previously conducted digs on the property at Bayview. This time, they plan to excavate four sites on the property.<\/p>\n

“What’s different about this dig is it will be more extensive. We will go until we hit rock,” Supt Cook said.<\/p>\n

Since May, millions of people globally have downloaded The Teacher’s Pet podcast, which is produced by The Australian newspaper.<\/p>\n

Why 2018 is the year of the ‘podcast boom’ Are podcasts breaking through to the mainstream? <\/p>\n

It has highlighted the bungled handling of the case by police in the early years after Mrs Dawson’s disappearance, prompting an apology from the state’s current police commissioner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
