Disappearance of Natasha Ryan dating history

Details

Natasha Anne Ryan (1984 – c. 2 June 2024) was an Australian woman from Rockhampton, Queensland, who went missing on 31 August 1998 when aged 14. Police had wrongly assumed that her best friend Maioha Tokotaua, who was 15 years old at the time of her disappearance, killed Ryan, but local serial killer Leonard Fraser was later accused. In 2003 police received a letter saying that Ryan was alive and provided a phone number and address at where she could be reached. The police raided the location that was mentioned in the letter and Ryan was discovered alive at her boyfriend's house hiding in a wardrobe, almost five years after she went missing, during the trial of the man accused of her murder. It was discovered that 14-year-old Ryan had left home willingly to be with her older boyfriend, Scott Black, a 22-year-old, and had been living and hiding in his home for years. In 2008, they married and reportedly the two have four children.
