Police descend on home in search for woman missing since 2002

Police are planning to dig up the backyard of a Port Lincoln home after launching a fresh search into the 2002 cold case disappearance of Susan Goodwin. 

Goodwin, aged 39 at the time, was last seen shopping in the local Coles and Woolworths. 

Authorities suspect she was murdered, though previous extensive searches have failed to locate her remains.

Officers say today's search comes from an ongoing review of the case and all available evidence.

The current focus is a home on Pamir Court in Port Lincoln, where officers have been seen sectioning off the lawn and using radar equipment provided by the Australian Federal Police. 

"I thought they had done it years ago, but it's good to know they are still looking for people, because if you go missing, it's good to know someone is still looking," a neighbour said.

Police allege John Mislov, who used to live at the property, is a person of interest in Goodwin's disappearance.

"I'm not feeling anything man, why should I, I haven't done anything wrong," he said when asked how he was feeling about the search.

"I got kicked out of there in 1999. I haven't been there for 25 f---ing years."
