Norman James Lawson was a teenager who disappeared during a fishing trip.

Case[]

Norman went out on a fishing trip with four other people at Kakadu National Park. The people accompanying him claim to have last seen him around 5:30 p.m. on October 21, 1986 carrying a fishing net towards the South Alligator River. He never returned, and has not been seen since. Investigators believe that he either ran away or drowned in the river. However, Norman's family strongly believes he was murdered. Murray, Norman's brother, believes that someone took his gun and shot Norman. There were several possible sightings of Norman between October 28-30, 1986, but none were ever confirmed.
