After decades of wondering what happened to his missing twin sister, Kevin Docherty might be a step closer to finding out.

In 1979, Kay Docherty, aged 16, and her friend Toni Cavanagh, aged 15, went missing .

The high school students were last seen at a bus stop in Shellharbour. They had planned to hitchhike to Wollongong to go to a disco.

In the 46 years since, the lives of the Docherty and Cavanagh families have been left in limbo .

But, on Wednesday, October 15, a motion was passed in NSW Parliament to commence an inquiry into missing person cases and unsolved murders.

It will focus on cases from 1965 to 2010, and investigate possible links between unsolved murders and long-term missing people around the Southern Highlands, Inner Sydney, Newcastle and the North Coast.
