The Double Report
On 28 July 2018, Louise Jeffries walked into Hobart Police Station to report two missing persons: her brother Jamie Greyson and her son Kain Jeffries. Through her formal statement, she details the escalating silence from Jamie, her growing suspicions about his partner Luke Smith, and Kain's disappearance after going to check on his uncle. This document marks the official beginning of an investigation that would spiral into one of Tasmania's most baffling cases.

Something is terribly wrong at a Berriedale residence, and Louise Jeffries knows it.
When her brother Jamie stops answering calls—uncharacteristic silence that stretches from days into a week—Louise's concern escalates into genuine fear. Jamie has been experiencing relationship difficulties with his partner Luke Smith, a man Louise has never quite trusted despite a decade-long acquaintance. Her attempts to reach Jamie produce only silence. Her visits to his home yield only closed doors and an empty driveway.
Desperate for answers, Louise sends her twenty-two-year-old son Kain to check on his uncle. Kain leaves Jeffries Manor on the morning of 26 July. He never returns.
Two days later, Louise walks into Hobart Police Station and files a formal missing persons report. Her statement, methodical yet edged with maternal terror, documents the timeline of disappearances, her failed attempts at contact, and her profound distrust of Luke Smith—who claims Jamie has gone to Melbourne "to think things over" and insists he hasn't seen Kain at all.
This is the official record that starts everything. A mother's statement. A sister's fears. Two missing men, and the man Louise believes holds the answers.
