Three years on his murderer walks free. Ryan journeys to the remote and isolated far north to find the answer to the question: Who Killed Dave Davan?

A statement in relation to recent developments in Finding Heidi Jun 15, 2025

Show notes

This update is a statement from Ryan in relation to today's news story in New Zealand covering the discovery of human remains, that could possibly be those of Heidi Paakkonen.

"It is very important to be clear that I'm not saying they are hers, but only that they could be. And the only way to know for sure is to find them. I'm calling for a second, more detailed search.

There is a lot more to this story than just a person finding a skeleton. Obviously there is more evidence at play, when I can I will share this, but for now going public with what I have today was the best way to move the case forward.

Thanks for all your patience and understanding with this." - Ryan
