Wanted is an Australian television series. Its first episode went on air on Network Ten on 8 July 2013 at 8:30PM. Wanted is presented and produced from the Network Ten's Sydney studios in Pyrmont. The show is telecasted nationally. Because of Australia's multiple timezones, Wanted is aired live on the East Coast of Australia. In South Australia, the Northern Territory and Western Australia airs the show on a time delay of 30 minutes and 2 hours respectively.
Wanted is a criminal investigation show which helps federal and state police directly to solve cold cases, homicides, disappearances and petty theft cases such as burglaries and vandalism.
Wanted is a socially interactive show which employs a broad range of social media to encourage the public to help solve crimes, with viewers being encouraged to provide immediate information anonymously that could prove an arrest or a lead to close the case.
Wanted is presented by news presenters Sandra Sully and Matt Doran.
The show is also presented by a team of crime specialists including:
Forensic anthropologist and criminologist Xanthé Mallett investigates cold cases and finds new evidence to the cases. In 2010, Mallett made a series in the UK called History Cold Case for BBC2/National Geographic, with a team from the Centre for Anatomy & Human Identification at the University of Dundee. History Cold Case saw skeletons of everyday people from across the ages analysed in staggering detail, opening new windows on the history of our forebears. A second series was broadcast in June 2011.
Mallett also presented a piece about Jack the Ripper called National Treasures for the BBC in 2011. The live magazine-style format show put science at the heart of programming for the BBC's main entertainment channel.
Investigative crime reporter Neil Mercer goes into the field and interviews the victims' families for the main feature story. When Mercer isn't available, Doran or Sully presents the Story. Neil Mercer has been a journalist for more than 40 years, working in newspapers and television. Mercer has covered crime since 1981 when he reported on the shooting of criminal Warren Lanfranchi by NSW Detective Sergeant Roger Rogerson.
