Chris Dawson and her first wife, Lynette Dawson, gave life to two children, Sherryn Dawson and Shanelle Dawson.
When their mother Lynette vanished from Sydney’s northern beaches in 1982, eldest daughter Shanelle was just four years old. And that was the last time two of them ever heard of her.
Dawson, their father, was first not thought to be a suspect in his wife’s abduction but has now emerged as the person who kidnapped and killed Lynette. Shanelle, who was four when the incident happened, is now 44 and is a mother herself.
Similarly, Sherryn Dawson, the couple’s second daughter, came after Shanelle in 1980, and she is currently 42 years old. However, no further details of their present whereabouts can be traced. Sherryn does not want to make headlines in the media as she is occupied with her life and family.
On the other hand, Dawson’s third child, Kristen Dawson, born in 1985, is the by-product of his second marriage with his former student Joanne Curtis. Chris and Joanne wed in 1984, and a year later, they are blessed with Kristen.
Kristen, who is now in her 30s and has two small children, continues to reside on Sydney’s northern beaches, close to her mother and not far from the former residence of Chris and Lyn Dawson.
