Rescuing Tara
It took an extraordinary effort by police task forces in Australia and America to take down an international child pornography ring. But Rescuing Tara is so much more than bringing some truly reprehensible men - one of whom was "Tara's" own father - to justice. Rescuing Tara is the story of how dedicated police officers on opposite sides of the world used the paedophile ring's own playroom - cyberspace itself - along with good old-fashioned investigative work in their search for a young girl whose real name they didn't know; whose location was a mystery; and whose fate was unknown. Welcome to Crime Shots - short, sharp, true crime stories from Australia's past and present.
