1
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: Lawrence, tell me what you know.

2
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 2: We do this every two weeks we speak to a

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 2: member of the Victorian Police who do an extraordinary job.

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: Now we've spoken to people from all different departments this year, guys,

5
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: and this next policeman that we're about to speak to

6
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: has a very important role. He's acting detector Detective Inspector

7
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: Tony Combridge from the Missing Person Squad.

8
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 3: Good morning, morning, Jace, Morning, Lauren, Morning Clint.

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 2: Now the Missing Person Squad. I feel like this is

10
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: something we see on in like movies, but this is

11
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 2: something that is happening around Australia. Each year in Victoria,

12
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 2: twenty thousand people are reported missing, ninety nine percent of

13
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: them a found.

14
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 4: There was only there was two recent cases where children

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 4: were almost abducted here in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago.

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 4: If the kids weren't missing, it would be your unit

17
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 4: that would investigate that.

18
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 3: It would probably the crime Squad to take that. Initially

19
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 3: we'd have some input to it with some subject matter expertise,

20
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 3: but be crime would do that.

21
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, So how long once someone is missing, because people

22
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 2: might report someone missing, how long does it take for

23
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 2: the Missing Person Squad to get involved?

24
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 3: Well, Lauren It's a bit of a nuanced question because

25
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 3: we're really involved once we establish that the likely cause

26
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 3: of someone going missing is because they've been murdered.

27
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 4: Right, okay, right, so as soon as if our player

28
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 4: is detected, then you guys get involved.

29
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 3: That's correct, Yes, yeah, right.

30
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: You might not be able to answer this question.

31
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 4: I was talking to the guys about I had a

32
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 4: friend of mine who lived in Seattle over in the

33
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 4: States for a while. She was running me through the

34
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 4: whole Amber alert system over there, where if someone goes missing,

35
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 4: say missing child, an Amber alert will be blasted out

36
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 4: to everyone's phone and there'll be a photo on description.

37
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: Clink. You mentioned you've got a couple.

38
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 5: Before in New South Wales. Actually right, New South Wales Police,

39
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 5: is it quite effectively?

40
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: Do we have a system like that here?

41
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: There are Amber? New South Wales have a really good system, Clint.

42
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 3: They have GEO targeted se missing. So what they'll do

43
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 3: if they've got somebody, say who's gone missing in a

44
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 3: in South Melbourne, They've can send a text to everyone

45
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 3: in the postcard to South Melbourne and so keep a

46
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 3: lookout for this person. We haven't got that technology here

47
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 3: as yet.

48
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: Isn't that insane like they're just right across the border.

49
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 2: If there is an incredible service that one state has,

50
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: we should have it everywhere, right.

51
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 3: I absolutely agree, it's a it's a really good tool. Unfortunately,

52
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 3: it does come down the cost.

53
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 5: And this was by way of example, I was at

54
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 5: the Airport's in the airport and missing child. There was

55
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 5: an active missing child's case in Mascot, so that's close

56
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 5: the airport. I had a question about when a missing

57
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 5: person becomes a cold case, do you have to sort

58
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 5: of hand that over? How long do you sort of

59
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 5: actively investigate a missing person before you have to make

60
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 5: the harrowing decision to obviously cease the investigation.

61
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 3: Well, as far as missing person's investigations can Clint, they

62
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 3: all stay with us. Anything anything that comes to us

63
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 3: as in relation to a missing person where homicide is suspected,

64
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 3: they stay with us. And they're all open. They might

65
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 3: not all be actively worthd on at any one time,

66
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 3: but they'll all be open and as soon as new

67
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 3: information comes to us, we will recommence that investigation.

68
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 2: It must be a role that when you're working on

69
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: a case, it must never stop because you, in the

70
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: back of your mind must constantly be trying to think

71
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: of different things and ways and ideas. Does it wear

72
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: you down mentally doing a job like this.

73
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 3: I'm lucky, Lauren, because I've got a really good team

74
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 3: around me and I don't have to do all the thinking.

75
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 3: I just get to make some of the harder decisions,

76
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 3: which is a really good role to be in. But

77
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 3: the Victorian public can rest assured they've got some of

78
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 3: the finest detectives in Victoria Police working at the Missing

79
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 3: Person Squad that are doing a lot of the work

80
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 3: that in that space. For me, they just come up

81
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 3: with new and improved ways to get through cases all

82
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: the time. Yeah.

83
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 4: You know, when Lauren was mentioning, the stats say ninety

84
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 4: nine percent of the twenty thousand people each year that

85
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 4: go missing in Melbourne are found alive. What normally is

86
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 4: the way you find people? Is it mobile? Phone tracking?

87
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: Would have to be.

88
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 3: It's a really good question, Jakes, because there's so many

89
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 3: different ways to go missing.

90
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: Yep.

91
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: You know, we look at one very specific part of it,

92
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 3: and we average probably around about four or five cases

93
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 3: a year that are homicide. So that's we're looking through

94
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: twenty thousand cases to try and find four or five.

95
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 3: So yeah, right, a little less like looking for a

96
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 3: needle in a haystack and more like looking for a

97
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 3: needle in a stack and needle. Yeah, But most people

98
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 3: self recover. They basically either they go home with their

99
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 3: own accord or they turn up at a police station

100
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 3: and say here, I've been reported missing. When we're actively

101
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,559
Speaker 3: looking for somebody, if they've voluntarily gone missing and they're

102
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 3: taking active steps to avoid detection, they are difficult to find.

103
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: But we do have ways and means.

104
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 4: Do you ever watch that TV show Hunted and think

105
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 4: I'd find a minute a minute.

106
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 3: I haven't got time aways work jokes.

107
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 4: Aside, In twenty twenty four, it would be hard to

108
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 4: go missing if you wanted to.

109
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,799
Speaker 1: Surely you'd think just with all the technology the cameras, every.

110
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: Cameras, even like dash cams and doorbell cameras.

111
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 4: The other day were like in the news because they're

112
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 4: using facial identification cameras.

113
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 3: Look, it is more difficult now, and when we look

114
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: back at some of our older cases, you can see

115
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: how what we would do today just can't be applied.

116
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 3: So it's a very different investigation when you're looking at

117
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 3: something so pre ninety ninety even, Yeah, which doesn't sound

118
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 3: that long ago for someone in my age, but it

119
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 3: is a fair one.

120
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 4: I think just from walking for the car park here

121
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 4: at night to the studio, fifty cameras we swipe in

122
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 4: with a car like our digital footprint would be unbelievable.

123
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 3: And that's we rely on that and part of what

124
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 3: we look for around suspicious circumstances. You look at you

125
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 3: look at people's normal digital footprint and if that's just stopped,

126
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 3: that's usually pretty good indicator that something's happened.

127
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 5: To I tell you where there wasn't really a digital footprint,

128
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 5: and that was in Victoria's High Country.

129
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 3: How know?

130
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 5: You presided over the case of Russell Hill and Carol Clay,

131
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 5: which was very very high profile. There has been a

132
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:14,559
Speaker 5: prosecution very recently, the appeals the appeals process at the moment,

133
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 5: but they're the campers that went missing in the high Country.

134
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 5: That must have been a harrowing case to work on

135
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 5: because there was a fairly substantial spotlight on that case

136
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 5: as well in terms of public interest.

137
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 3: Pretty much every job we work on, Clint gets that spotlight.

138
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 3: The missing person's cases that we do are classic who

139
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 3: done it murder mysteries. I think I think it attracts

140
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 3: a lot of a lot of public attention. But also

141
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 3: there are peoples and people and families involved here, So

142
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: there's two sides to that. There's a lot of attention.

143
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 3: Our people are trained and they know how to how

144
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 3: to deal with that additional scrutiny, but it's more around

145
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 3: trying to shield the families.

146
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 4: It's just the way society is at the moment. Look

147
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 4: at crime podcasts and all that's sort of well.

148
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: The Victoria Police have a podcast now, Police Life the Experts,

149
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: which is a podcast. People are fascinated by this stuff.

150
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: We're going to take a quick break. When we come back.

151
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 4: I want to talk about a case that you guys

152
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 4: are chatting about on Police Life the Experts podcast. In fact,

153
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 4: you've actually bought in. I've heard this audio. This is

154
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 4: incredible audio. We're about to play. It was from inside

155
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 4: the interview process of the accused.

156
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: We'll play it for you. We're going to chat about

157
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: that case. Next. We are doing probe the Pope with

158
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: the Missing Person's Unit.

159
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: We're about to talk about a case from here in Victoria.

160
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 2: So if you've got little ears in the card, just

161
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 2: be mindful that this is a very heavy conversation we're

162
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: about to have.

163
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 6: Police are searching a rubbish chip in Melbourne's North for

164
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 6: the body of a missing Epping mother. Her parents are

165
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 6: refusing to believe the thirty three year old is dead,

166
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 6: even though her boyfriend has already been charged with murder.

167
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 4: Wow, she was a famous case. Tony Missing Person's Unit

168
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 4: worked on it. He was found guilty, yes, and he's

169
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 4: currently serving time for murdering the single mum.

170
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: She Zang was her name. It's a terrible, terrible story.

171
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 2: I think they were they were dating, she wanted to

172
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 2: break up. I mean, we hear about this stuff way

173
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:20,559
Speaker 2: too often.

174
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 5: By the way, here's the thing. These these are people

175
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 5: with families, right, and your job is to not just

176
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 5: locate the body in this case, but also.

177
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 3: To prosecute absolutely. It's there's two aspects. And Clint, you

178
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 3: hit it on the head that we have the whole

179
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 3: people accountable for these crimes, but we hold a whole

180
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 3: other responsibility to the community, and that's to try and

181
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 3: provide these families with finances. Absolutely, and that's where we

182
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 3: were fortunate in this case that we were able to

183
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 3: do that. When I say fortunate for you that that

184
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 3: fortune derived from the fact that our blokes worked really

185
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 3: hard on this, and our lead investigator in particular worked

186
00:08:58,520 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 3: incredibly hard on it.

187
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 2: This poor woman was put in a rubbish bit yes,

188
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: and the council came around picked up the bins. There

189
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 2: weren't cameras on this particular truck.

190
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 3: There was actually a camera on it, Lauren, but unfortunately

191
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 3: the truck was incredibly busy, and by the time we

192
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 3: got to the CCTV that truck had overwritten, there were

193
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 3: six other trucks collecting in the area as well that

194
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 3: did have footage, and we watched all the footage from

195
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 3: those trucks and realized that she wasn't in the first

196
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 3: six trucks, so she's going to be the boy process illumination.

197
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 3: We said that she came in the.

198
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 2: Seventh, so then that truck goes to the tip or

199
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 2: the rubbish trucks go and your department have to do

200
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 2: the ungodly job of trying to re possess that body.

201
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 3: We were really lucky that we came across the people

202
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 3: who ran the tip out at WI Alert, the good

203
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 3: people from Hanson and Grabner who helped us immensely. Now

204
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 3: those guys find stuff out there all the time. He'd

205
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 3: be surprised when it ends up in the tip that

206
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:04,599
Speaker 3: shouldn't yep. So they were amazing with their assistance that

207
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 3: they provided us. But yeah, we had to put people

208
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 3: on ground out there for We were planning for probably

209
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 3: twelve weeks. It ended up being about four days.

210
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: Wow.

211
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 4: Wow.

212
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 5: So once you got the body, you need to prosecute, right,

213
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 5: And this is where the interview process kicks in.

214
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 4: Jason, Now this features on Police Life The Experts. It's

215
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 4: a Victorian police podcast which is out now. When it

216
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 4: comes to prosecuting, this audio was played at court. This

217
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 4: is from the interview process. Take a listen to.

218
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 7: This, June. Your phone has been analyzed. When we download

219
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 7: your phone, we can see everything that you have done

220
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 7: on the phone, who you've called, who you've messaged, what

221
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 7: you've been searching on the internet, what I socially on

222
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 7: the internet? Yes, on Saturday afternoon, you triped this into

223
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 7: a Google search. How many years you get for killing

224
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 7: someone in Australia. Why would you search?

225
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 5: I don't know.

226
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 7: On the same night, at nine pm, he tripes this

227
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 7: into Google. How to deal with sinking rubbish in Australia.

228
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 7: Why are you searching them.

229
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 3: I have has no idea.

230
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness. I mean, well, he did a terrible

231
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 2: job trying to cover his tracks. But when someone something

232
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 2: like that happens, are you guys like this is I mean,

233
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: we got him.

234
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're pretty confident we've got the right person around

235
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 3: that time.

236
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, when someone goes missing or you detect foul play,

237
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 4: do you want me look at the partner first?

238
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 3: Well, look, look look at the people close to the miss. Obviously,

239
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 3: statistically they're the people that have got the most opportunity.

240
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 7: Yeah.

241
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 3: So and realistically we're probably going to the last person

242
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 3: that sees them. Yeah, because they're a crucial witness. And

243
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 3: in this case it was this man. He was the

244
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 3: last person that had seen it.

245
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 4: Wow.

246
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 5: And being able to obviously you deal so closely with

247
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 5: the families of these victims. Being able to sit down

248
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 5: with the family post and tell them that the person

249
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 5: that has murdered their daughter or their sister is now incarcerated,

250
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 5: what's that like?

251
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 3: Yeah? Oh, look at it. It's powerful, but it's never going

252
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 3: to provide them with what they want. They want their

253
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 3: daughter to come home, and that wasn't going to happen.

254
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 3: And I have a vivid memory of myself and Detective

255
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 3: Seem Russell having to get back into suits from the

256
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 3: tip and drive out to see Jew's mum and dad

257
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 3: who were who'd come in from China, and then eight

258
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 3: year old son and tell them you know, we've located her,

259
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 3: and you know, that's the best news they've had in

260
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty seven days.

261
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 5: And it is grim news, but it's the best news

262
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 5: they've had. Jesus shocking.

263
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,280

264

Speaker 4: guys do an absolutely remarkable.

265
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 2: Job, unbelievable work. In Victoria, twenty thousand people are reported

266
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 2: missing each year and ninety nine percent of them are found,

267
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 2: almost all alive and well, but there is that terrible

268
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 2: one percent, and you do do an amazing job. Tony.

Speaker 3: Thanks.

271
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 5: Can I end on a lighter note if I'm losing

272
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 5: my keys all the time, do you lose stuff and

273
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 5: are you able to track it down?

274
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 3: Pretty pretty well? Yeah, you'd be surprised how much stuff

275
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:17,120
