Too Much Space ; Policing Matters ; The Confession
Too Much Space
In terms of living and working conditions, it couldn't have been more claustrophobic. For NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams though, there was actually too much space. Their mission, the first crewed flight aboard Boeing's Starliner capsule to the International Space Station, was planned for eight days. However, a combination of life-threatening mechanical malfunctions and logistic obstacles meant it ended up taking more than nine months. But as Adam Hegarty finds out, what an adventure they had as they waited for the return trip home: 400 kilometres up in space, and orbiting the earth every 90 minutes at 28,000 kilometres an hour. Butch and Suni handled their unexpectedly lengthy space odyssey with such composure that they well and truly proved they're made of the right stuff.

Policing Matters
By any measure, Krissy Barrett's rise through the ranks of the Australian Federal Police is impressive. Twenty-five years ago, she started in the AFP as an intern. Just over a week ago she became the Commissioner, the first woman in AFP history to hold the position. But gender is not the reason she got the job. Commissioner Barrett is a highly skilled police officer who, as she tells Nine's Tracy Grimshaw, fully understands the responsibility she has, and the significant challenges she faces to keep Australians safe.

The Confession
Fifty-five years ago, three-year-old Cheryl Grimmer was snatched from a Wollongong beach. It's presumed the little girl was murdered, even though her body has never been found. All these years later the crime remains unsolved. But there is a disturbing twist in this case. A man has disclosed to police that he mercilessly strangled Cheryl. When taken to court though, his confession was ruled inadmissible, meaning the self-proclaimed killer walked free. For the Grimmer family, not knowing where their precious girl is has meant more than half a century of torment. But as Tara Brown reports, they'll always keep searching for Cheryl, and for any clues to help police track down the person responsible for taking her.
