00:00For more than 30 years, Jason Lawrence has wondered exactly what happened to his mum
00:04after she went missing in May 1994. His mother, Pauline Sarin, was 47 years old when he last
00:12saw her during a lunch that they had together in a pub in Warrawong. It upsets me knowing
00:17she has missed a celebration and being of the grandparents of her five grandchildren,
00:22who would have loved to have met her in so many special moments.
00:27The mother was a kind, caring and a loving mother, who was always loved by many people
00:34and how she lit up the room. Pauline Sarin, who was also known
00:38as Pauline Lawrence, has never been found. A coronial inquest determined she had died,
00:43most likely after an unconfirmed sighting in 1994. In 2023, a tip-off led police to rugged
00:50bushland in Fig Tree, where a dig uncovered clothing that they believed belonged to Pauline.
00:56But, to this day, she still hasn't been found. The mum of three is so much more than a face
01:02on a missing person poster. She loved music, cooking and holidaying with her sons.
01:08I've been robbed of not knowing my mother. I've been robbed of her not seeing what I've become
01:15over the years, how strong I've been in my career and my children and all of that. So,
01:21I've been robbed of her mother. There are dozens of people who were
01:24last seen or heard from in the Illawarra. From Cheryl Grimmer, who was three years old
01:29when she went missing, to Leslie Hicks, who was 81. They are mums, dads, siblings and best friends.
01:36If you know something or saw something, please call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
01:43Why aren't you up there?
01:46I'm sorry.
