60 Minutes Australia returns this Sunday with a double dose of investigative journalism, tackling both a decades-old missing person case and the ongoing enigma of Melania Trump. Airing at 8:40 PM on Channel 9, the program features two new reports: Crunch Time, a fresh look at the Madeleine McCann investigation, and The Invisible Lady, which examines the First Lady’s curious detachment from the White House.
In Crunch Time, reporter Tara Brown follows the latest developments in the McCann case, which finds Portuguese authorities once again combing the coastline based on information from German investigators. The report explores the ticking clock facing police as they try to build a case against alleged prime suspect Christian Brueckner.
Shifting from true crime to political intrigue, The Invisible Lady, reported by Dimity Clancey, takes aim at Melania Trump’s scarce public appearances since her husband’s inauguration five months ago. The report sorts through the speculation around her extended stays at Trump Tower and the East Wing’s persistent “no comment” around the First Lady’s schedule—and asks what, if anything, her low profile says about the state of the Trump marriage.
60 Minutes Australia has a history of tackling high-profile stories with a blend of on-the-ground reporting and pointed questions. This week’s edition stays true to form, pulling no punches as it looks to dissect two very different—yet equally compelling—mysteries.
60 Minutes Australia airs Sunday 8 June 2024 on Channel 9 at 8:40 PM.
