The Operation Tam base, set up to find out what happened to missing friends Ben Smart and Olivia Hope, released information on 12 January that screaming and shouting had been heard around the time the pair were last seen. Olivia and Ben had disappeared in the early hours of New Years Day 1998, after being dropped off by a water taxi, along with a mystery man, onto a yacht moored in Endeavour Inlet, off Furneaux Lodge.
