Why did you change your name, Kevin? 67 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: Why did you change your name? 68 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 9: Get out of lake, Get out of the way. 69 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 5: Watch out, Dan. 70 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: I'm Ashley Hanson and you're listening to episode eleven of 71 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 1: Dear Rochelle, a podcast by True Crime Australia. This is 72 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: the untold story of Rochelle Childs, a twenty three year 73 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,799 Speaker 1: old who was brutally murdered. Her killer has never been caught. 74 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: You just heard our approach to Kevin Correll. This day 75 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: was the culmination of fourteen months of rigorous journalism, planning, 76 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 1: surveillance and careful consideration, Kevin drove off in a fury. 77 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: If you want to see the full video, it's on 78 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: our website, Dear Rochelle dot com today you A short 79 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: time later, though, Kevin returned to the club and began 80 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: his shift. We didn't get the answers we came looking for, so, 81 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: I said Kevin. A follow up email with forty questions 82 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: about his suspected involvement in Rochelle's murder, as well as 83 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: the allegations from multiple people of stalking, intimidation, fraud, sexual assault, 84 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: and rape, I offered to talk to Kevin, including a 85 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: sit down interview with him, but received no response. Kevin 86 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: was acquitted of all four sex assault charges in the 87 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: nineteen eighties. He strenuously denies any involvement in Rochelle's murder 88 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: and has never been charged, and in a recent email 89 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,559 Speaker 1: response to further questions, Kevin said, over the past twenty 90 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: three years, I've been interviewed by detectives numerous times. I've 91 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: attended the inquest and cooperated with police, supplying my DNA 92 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: and answering all their questions. And Kevin vehemently denies the 93 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,679 Speaker 1: allegations of domestic abuse leveled against him by his former 94 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: wife Elites. To date, Kevin hasn't taken up my invitation 95 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: for an interview, but his close friend and former partner, 96 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: who will call Marion, did agree to be interviewed. I 97 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: spoke with her at length just days after a photograph 98 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: of Kevin from our approach at the club was published 99 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 1: on the front page of the most widely circulated newspaper 100 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: in New South Wales, the Daily Telegraph. Is Kevin still 101 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:21,239 Speaker 1: working at the moment. 102 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 7: No, he got fired because of this. 103 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: Do you know why. 104 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 10: The justification for firing him was, Yes, the reporters were 105 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 10: going and talking to staff members and they all felt 106 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 10: like that they were being hassled. 107 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 7: So the club had said that they're just going to 108 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 7: go in a different direction and just wait for six 109 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 7: weeks to see if it quins down. So I think 110 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 7: he's suspended, not fine. So suspended. 111 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: And how did Kevin take that news that he was 112 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: being suspended. 113 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 7: Well, he wasn't happy. He loved his jong, He loved 114 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 7: his job and they loved him. 115 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: Do you think Kevin might be interested in talking with 116 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: me and doing an interview. 117 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 7: He has a hatred for all this, other than the 118 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 7: fact he wants the truth to come out. He has 119 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 7: bought the paper, especially when he's plastered on the front. 120 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 7: Keep in mind, I mean when the case had come 121 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 7: was first on. Obviously he lost his work, he lost 122 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 7: his home, he lost a lot of things. But he's 123 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 7: always said it's nothing compared to what Rachelle's family has lost, 124 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 7: and he just feels that it's going down the same 125 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 7: road again. So mentally is not doing too well. I 126 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 7: know for a fact Kevin feels for the family. Put 127 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 7: it this way, Kevin's embarrassed. He's totally embarrassed with the 128 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 7: people that he not his old friends because they all 129 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 7: know what had happened all that time ago. But his 130 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 7: new friend's new work associates. Yes, here's embarrassed about all 131 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 7: these things that are coming up. 132 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: I just want to pause Marian's interview for a few 133 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: moments to make sure you're up to speed with some 134 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: fresh police developments. So what Marion tells me next makes sense. 135 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: Since Rochelle's case was reopened, police seized and forensically tested 136 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: the petrol cap from her car for fingerprints. They tested 137 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,239 Speaker 1: the fueld cap. I believe it was only for fingerprints 138 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: and they didn't glean anything from that, but the family 139 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: is anxiously waiting to be shown by police. Two segments 140 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: of CCTV from the night Rochelle was killed. The security 141 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 1: video is currently being enhanced. The vision is from the 142 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,839 Speaker 1: Bargo train station, which covered the front entrance of the 143 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: Bargo Pub and driveway into the back car park in 144 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: two thousand and one. The second segment is a mystery 145 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: blue v B or VH commodore captured with an unidentified 146 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: young woman and man at a service station at South 147 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: Nauro at ten forty pm, just over twenty minutes from 148 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: seven Mile Beach. Our publication News Corp. Only just reported 149 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 1: this CCTV development days before my phone interview with Marion. 150 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 7: The last time I spoke to Kevin a few days ago, 151 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 7: he was happy that they have found footage of a car. 152 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,559 Speaker 7: I think is it Rachelle's car? I'm not sure, but 153 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 7: he's happy about that. He was over the moon. Over 154 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 7: the moon a man, A guilty person would shick themselves, 155 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 7: wouldn't they. They said, I'll be proved that I'm innocent. 156 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: If it's unrelated and it's somebody else, say it's another 157 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: woman at the petrol station with another man, then that's 158 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: not going to prove Kevin's innocence. 159 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 7: Why not if it's a different man, a different woman, 160 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 7: and it's not Kevin. 161 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: Well, if it's a different woman and it's a different man, 162 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: then it means it's completely unrelated to Rochelle's case. In 163 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 1: Rochelle's car, well, it might they might realize that the 164 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: car is unrelated as well. 165 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 7: Oh okay, Well, I guess he wasn't thinking on those terms. 166 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 7: Neither was I. I just assumed that. 167 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: It was her car, and we don't know if it 168 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: was her car. That's why believe it's taking a closer 169 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: look at it. Oh okay, does that change things for you? 170 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 7: Well, that's a bit sad because I think both he 171 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 7: and I are thinking, you know. 172 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: It's Russia. 173 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 7: It is Rochelle's car that they've got footage of, and 174 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 7: they're going to see who's in that car. Okay, Ah, 175 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 7: that makes a big difference, doesn't it. 176 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: When was the last time you saw Kevin in person? 177 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 7: Yes, we went to Thailand this time last year, and 178 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,719 Speaker 7: probably a couple of times after that. When it came 179 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 7: down to visit the times. 180 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: I don't know were you in a relationship with Kevin 181 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: when you went to Thailand. 182 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 7: No, we're just friends when there's nothing physical between us. 183 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 7: There's nothing sexual, nothing physical. We're just friends, good friends 184 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 7: and not with benefits. 185 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: When did you meet Kevin Correll? 186 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 7: End of two thousand and nine Boxing Day. My first 187 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 7: impressions of Kevin. I liked him. He was funny. He 188 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 7: had a great group of people around him that I 189 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 7: enjoyed all of their company. That was the first time 190 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 7: I met him, and then I only en't met up 191 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,079 Speaker 7: with him at men on a Friday night, and I 192 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 7: got to know him a little bit better. And then 193 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 7: things went further as far as starting to see each 194 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 7: other on dates and stuff. 195 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 1: And did you get into a relationship with Kevin and 196 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: how long did that last for? 197 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 7: We were dating for a year, then we lived together 198 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,920 Speaker 7: for two years. Then he had issues with his daughter 199 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 7: and he just felt that he should have his own space. Look, 200 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 7: I had issues with his daughter. I loved a bit, 201 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 7: but there are a lot of selfish things happening, which 202 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 7: angered me a little bit. So Kevin wanted to keep 203 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 7: seeing his grandchildren freely, so then we stayed together but 204 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 7: didn't live together. He's supportive, his gentle He will do 205 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 7: anything for you without even asking he'll just go through 206 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:11,199 Speaker 7: and don't know. He's just so gentle, romantic, caring, supportive, generous. 207 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 7: I mean, my roof was collapsing and he just voarded 208 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 7: money to me to get it, get it fixed. 209 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: I just I don't know. 210 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 7: I just I cannot see anything bad. I just can't. 211 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 7: And I don't think you can keep up a facadel 212 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,719 Speaker 7: like that for as long as since two thousand and nine. 213 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 7: But let me tell you, when I first met Kevin, 214 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 7: he was never, ever, once inappropriate, forceful, touchy feely. Now 215 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 7: how does a person like that refrain? I don't know, 216 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 7: I don't know. 217 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: Multiple people have described to me that Kevin has a 218 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: split personality. There's a good Kevin and there's a bad Kevin. 219 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 7: Yeah, me too, I'm like that pissed me off. I'm 220 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 7: not a nice person. Oh look, I've seen the angry 221 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 7: side of him. And when I say angry, let's say 222 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 7: it's it's an argument between he and I. He will 223 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 7: raise his voice, but then he'll turn around and walk away, 224 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 7: which is frustrating to me. I'd like to nut it out, 225 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 7: but no, never in my face, ever, ever? Ever? 226 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: Are you aware that he was charged over four attacks 227 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: on women in the nineteen eighties. 228 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 7: I have heard of it again. When I first met Kevin, 229 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 7: I had hell to pay from several women at mingles. 230 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 7: I've had threats from them. They said they would not 231 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 7: that they want to be going out, but they had 232 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 7: gone out with him, and it's not right that he 233 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 7: didn't call them again. And there was a lot of 234 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 7: jealousy there. There are a couple of women that said 235 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 7: I was jealous of them, but I didn't know them 236 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 7: from Adam, and I said to them, I don't know you. 237 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 7: Why would I be jealous because we dated and I thought, well, 238 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 7: good for you. Like everyone's got the past, I don't know. 239 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 7: There was a lot of a lot of women that 240 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 7: were jealous that he saw somebody else and not them. 241 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 1: So why did Kevin change his name? According to him, 242 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: what was the reasoning for that. 243 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 7: To disassociate with what's happening? What was happening with his brother? 244 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: What does he say about these allegations that women had 245 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: accused him of very serious offenses, including rape. 246 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 7: We all know that people call sexual assault quite easily 247 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 7: not I haven't asked any of those questions. 248 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: I'll just tell you in all of these cases, these 249 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: women didn't know Kevin. In two of the cases, he 250 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: offered to drive them home, and while these women were 251 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: in his car, he allegedly attacked them, actually raped them. 252 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: That is the allegation that he raped those young women 253 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: in the car who were dropped home by him. He 254 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: was acquitted at those charges. 255 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 7: Why why was he acquitted? 256 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: He stood trial and it was back in the nineteen eighties. Yeah, 257 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: and the jury didn't believe there was enough evidence to 258 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: convict him. But I do know that a police officer 259 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: who arrested him in one of those cases, when he 260 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: arrested him, his pants fell down and the woman was 261 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: screaming for help running from his car. I have not 262 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: for help. Yeah, that's not good. Another woman claims that 263 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 1: in punch Bowl in nineteen eighty that Kevin responded to 264 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: an ad in the paper for a room to rent. 265 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: Kevin admitted to turning up to the home to look 266 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 1: at the house, and then allegedly Kevin has returned and 267 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: pulled the knife on her and raped her in the 268 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: home where her two young children were sleeping in a 269 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: near black bedroom. Now he denies it. 270 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, but I cannot see that one. As soon as 271 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 7: you mention knife, no way and children n he loves kids. 272 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 7: There is no way if he knew there were kids 273 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 7: in there, she will never attempted anything like that. I 274 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 7: think that's bullshit. 275 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: Well, what did Kevin and tell you about who killed Rochelle? 276 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 7: Oh, he hasn't said he doesn't know who killed her. 277 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 7: He hasn't said, he hasn't said anything like that. 278 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: Has Kevin ever told you that her fingers were missing 279 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 1: or detached? 280 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 7: No, we discussed it when I was reading the transcript. 281 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: You've read the transcripts from Rochelle's inquest. 282 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 7: Yeah, like I said, I did ask him questions. But 283 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 7: what those questions were right now, I can't remember until 284 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 7: I probably read it again and then something might gel. 285 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: Does Kevin like fire? No, he's really bad. 286 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,959 Speaker 7: With it too. I mean he had a platty at 287 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 7: his place and he went near the fire and he 288 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 7: wanted to stoke it or put something on it to 289 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 7: get the fire going a little bit better, and all 290 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 7: blew back on him and Bertie's arm. So no, he 291 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 7: has version to follow up. 292 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: And what about Kevin's like for movies? What sort of 293 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: movies does he like? And TV shows? 294 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 7: Well, that's something we have in common, and I love 295 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 7: watching crime shows. Like, who done it not? Try and 296 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 7: solve them? And Kevin enjoyed them with me and he 297 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 7: likes the same as what I like. 298 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 11: So it's. 299 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 7: I love them. I love them. 300 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: And what about your children and your friends? What do 301 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: they think about Kevin? 302 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 7: They love him, they love him. Look, even at the 303 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 7: time of my brother's death death, which was twenty nineteen, 304 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 7: I had a niece post something on Facebook how grateful 305 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 7: she was that he was in my life and the 306 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 7: support that he had given me and the entire family. 307 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 7: I'm just getting emotional because I'm thinking of my brother. 308 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:10,199 Speaker 7: But he was nothing but supportive for everyone, and they 309 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 7: were so glad and I are still glad that he's 310 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 7: in my life. 311 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: Well, he's lucky to have you. 312 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, But what's that say of me? If I'm wrong? 313 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 7: I don't know. Maybe my bubble will be First. 314 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: We've reached out to the Lees Club to clarify Kevin's 315 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: employment status. We were told he's employed by a private 316 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: security company and has not received any further shifts from 317 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: the club since our podcast investigation was brought to their attention. 318 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: Kevin's career change as an RSA marshal has shocked many people. 319 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 2: Well, why has he changed his profession into doing that 320 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 2: rather of work. It seems from one to the end 321 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 2: of extreme sort of employment opportunities. But that does consume 322 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 2: me as well of his prior arrests, perhaps some without conviction, 323 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 2: but I was similar sexual nature. He's disturbing. 324 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: And here's Jane, who you heard from in episode six. 325 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: She accused Kevin of rape in nineteen eighty. Oh my god, 326 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: I don't know why you would employ this person. 327 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 6: Ah, that's just that's wrong, so wrong. 328 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 1: Here's Kevin's ex wife Elisa's reaction. 329 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 11: He's taking young girls out to the car. Oh my god. Okay, 330 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 11: he should not have been in that job. And I 331 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 11: could see why I probably took that job on because 332 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 11: that would have made him feel really good about himself. 333 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: I have watched him in the job, and he does 334 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 1: love controlling a room. 335 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 11: Oh yes, if you'd ever seen him be in a 336 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 11: DJ when he was younger, Yeah, he totally had control 337 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 11: of the room. 338 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 3: Yeah. 339 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 11: He's a performer through and through. Yeah, he didn't just 340 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 11: spin the records. He dance and he'd mime and like 341 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 11: put on a show. He'd put on a full show. 342 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 11: I've never seen a DJ do that before. He'd have 343 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 11: girls hanging around him all the time. Girls flocked over 344 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 11: it like around him and wanted to be around him. 345 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: Since Dear Rochelle went live, we've received many emails from 346 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: people sharing tips and information about Rochelle's case. Bear with us. 347 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 1: This investigation is moving fast, but we want to bring 348 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: you as many updates like these as we can. 349 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 12: Ian Watson's my name and in the mid to late 350 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 12: nineties I came across a man named Kevin Carrell through 351 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 12: the motor trade in Nara. 352 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: I'm interested to pick your brain, not just because you 353 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: knew Kevin through the car game, but also as a 354 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,199 Speaker 1: former detective. What's memorable about him to. 355 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 12: You at the time that I met him, And, like 356 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 12: I said, I didn't have any dealings with him at 357 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 12: that point. I did later on when he worked at 358 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 12: Camden Hold years later. When I first met him, we 359 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 12: ended up about forty people maybe from the car game, 360 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 12: in a restaurant called the Boat Shed in Nara, just 361 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 12: over the bridge. It was a social gathering and on 362 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 12: this particular night everyone ate had a drink and later 363 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 12: on in the night, a young girl I can't remember 364 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 12: who she was, but she obviously worked in a car 365 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 12: yard and she screamed out, yelled out in front of 366 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 12: everyone in the place. Everyone looked around, and she said, 367 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 12: he grabbed me. A couple of the guys walked up 368 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 12: to him, said what happened? She said, he put his 369 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 12: hand up my dress and grabbed me. She was about eighteen, 370 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 12: and I'm presuming he would have been forty at that point, 371 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 12: maybe a bit younger. 372 00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: Anyway, he was evicted. 373 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 12: They tossed him straight out. He's always wore black, black shirt, 374 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 12: black pants, black tie. Almost like your first impression was 375 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 12: like he wanted to be like a bad cowboy in 376 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 12: a western. There was something about him that was just sleazy. 377 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 12: He wasn't a person that you'd want to associate with. 378 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: When you refer to the he he grabbed me? Who 379 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: was this woman referring to to Carell. 380 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 12: They were standing in the back of the room in 381 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 12: a group of people and he put his hand up 382 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 12: address and everyone, the guys that I was with, turning 383 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 12: around and said what happened? And she just pointed straight 384 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 12: out of him and said, he just put his hand 385 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 12: up my dress. I guess it shows a pattern. 386 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: A pattern of behavior with Kevin. And what also interests 387 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: me about Ian's interview is Kevin's connection and geographical knowledge 388 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 1: of the South Coast.

Rochelle's friend fi 393 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: owner stayed at the car yard alongside their manager, Jim Morrison. 394 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 13: I remained there for three years. Afterwards, I got a 395 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 13: letter sent to me from somebody. Three years later, in 396 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 13: two thousand and four, I used to opened the mail. 397 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 14: I was a receptionist and I received a letter in 398 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 14: the post that said I was jealous of Rochelle's money 399 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 14: and they referred to me as bat Fee in the letter. 400 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 5: I do remember that was in the. 401 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 13: In the letter or addressed on the en flap, I 402 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,359 Speaker 13: don't know, but it was, yeah, definitely Camden Holden and 403 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 13: we were poor Wakeling Holden by then. 404 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 5: So Jim's office was right next to my desk, and 405 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 5: he came and I said to him, I've just got 406 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 5: a letter. 407 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 3: It was basically accusing her of Rachelle's murder. And it 408 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 3: was pretty pretty graphically worded. It was pretty nasty stuff. 409 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 6: It was in an envelope. It got to fi own. 410 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 3: It didn't get opened by me or anyone else price, 411 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 3: So it's first to for your own no reason to 412 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 3: not open it as she would in the normal La 413 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 3: scheme of things. So she's open and she's just yeah, 414 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 3: she was devastated. 415 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 5: And he came and straight away just took it straight 416 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 5: to the police station. 417 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 13: I know Rachelle didn't have money, mum, and used to 418 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 13: bring groceries to the train, like to the carriage for 419 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 13: rachel to take home, like she didn't have money. Like 420 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 13: that's the one thing that just stuck with me. She 421 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 13: didn't have money. 422 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 5: There was nothing to be jealous of of her money 423 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 5: or anything like. 424 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 1: That like this. 425 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 5: I don't know where this letter came from. Three years later, but. 426 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: What kind of an impact did that letter have on you? 427 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 5: Massive It's just remained with me. I mean, the whole 428 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 5: experience is just changed the person I was. 429 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 13: I'm very guarded, I'm very yeah, just a very different 430 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 13: person to the person that I was. 431 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 3: I passed it on to the business owner and I 432 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 3: think subsequently went to the detectives. I tried to do 433 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 3: my own little investigation. I suppose I looked at things 434 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 3: like the handwriting. I looked at things like sentence, structural, 435 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 3: all that sort of thing, see if it reminded me 436 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 3: of anyone. 437 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 6: But I vaguely remember it was done. 438 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 3: In a sort of manner that it couldn't be or 439 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 3: wouldn't be related back to a style as such. 440 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 5: Absolutely, I don't know where. I didn't know where it. 441 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 13: Came from, didn't I who sent it, didn't know that 442 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 13: whoever sent it still knew that I still worked there 443 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:06,640 Speaker 13: at the time. 444 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, just fear that's never left. 445 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 1: Can you picture the letter today. 446 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 13: I've blocked that out. But I didn't want to touch it. 447 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 13: I didn't want I wanted it to be fingerprinted. I 448 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 13: wanted like and I guess back then snail mail, every 449 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 13: man and their dog had handled a letter. So my 450 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 13: manager at the time, Jim, he just took it straight 451 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 13: up to the police station that same day, and I 452 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 13: resigned two weeks later. 453 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: And why did you resign? 454 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 7: Fear? 455 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 5: Just fear still to the day, don't know who did 456 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 5: this or who's out. 457 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 7: There or. 458 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, looking back now, what do you think the motivation was? 459 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: Of the person who wrote that letter. 460 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 5: Just scare me, just fear scare tactics, I guess, and 461 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:05,000 Speaker 5: it worked. 462 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: Who would want to do that to anyone, let alone 463 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: to one of Rochelle's good friends. Fee was still struggling 464 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: with Rochelle's sudden loss. Who knew Fiona opened the mail 465 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 1: and who would think that business was still trading as 466 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 1: Camden Holder. Remember, she was a key witness in the case. 467 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: Detectives never identified who sent that hateful letter to her. 468 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: In February two thousand and four, when the letter arrived, 469 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: Rochelle had been gone two and a half years. By 470 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 1: this point, police had held a mass DNA screening and 471 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: detectives had a renewed interest in the case. That letter, 472 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: along with other incidents centered around the workplace, were explored 473 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: at the inquest. 474 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 15: This inquest will investigate the circumstances of the death of 475 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 15: Rachelle Childs. As Childs was born on the twenty sixth 476 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 15: of May nineteen seventy eight, I anticipate that the evidence 477 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 15: to be led at this inquest will support the conclusion 478 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 15: that she died on the evening of seven June two 479 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 15: thousand and one. I anticipate that the evidence will support 480 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 15: the conclusion that she was murdered. 481 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,959 Speaker 1: Next, we're going to present part of a young woman's 482 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: testimony who applied for a job at Camden Holden about 483 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: six months before Rochelle's murder. She met Rochelle briefly, but 484 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: it was her experience with the used car manager, Kevin 485 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: Carell the court was interested in. On the fourth of 486 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: December two thousand and six, she took the stand and 487 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: her identity was protected. She told the court her interaction 488 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: with Kevin left her so fearful she moved house afterwards. 489 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: Here is some of her evidence. This is not her voice. 490 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: I saw an ad in the paper and I rang 491 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 1: Kevin Correll answered and invited the young woman into Camden 492 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: Holden for an interview. 493 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 9: He was looking at my chest. He just kept staring 494 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 9: at me a lot. He looked at my hair a lot. 495 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 9: He commented on my clothes, he commented on my hair, 496 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 9: He commented on that I was good. 497 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: Looking a lot. 498 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 9: Yeah, it was really creepy. He said he wanted me 499 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 9: to meet Rachelle. 500 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: She did meet Rochelle, but not on that occasion. The 501 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: court heard Kevin spoke fondly of Rochelle that she was 502 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: a terrific person. She did things out of character that 503 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: she didn't need to do, like work on her day off. 504 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: Things like that she had her favorite car there. He 505 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,239 Speaker 1: always provided her with a car. He always provided her 506 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: with everything that she wanted, anything she wanted. She was 507 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: asked by counsel assisting the coroner, Peter Singleton, if Kevin 508 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: indicated that Rochelle did anything outside the employment that was 509 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,320 Speaker 1: beyond the call of duty. 510 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 9: Yes, well, I felt that the way he said, the 511 00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 9: way he spoke about her. I think I felt it 512 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 9: because of the way he spoke about her. He said, 513 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 9: you know, she does things that she doesn't need to do, 514 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 9: you know what I mean, you know, that kind of 515 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 9: thing with his the way he finished his sentences, the 516 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 9: way he looked at me, the way, you know, as 517 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 9: if he was asking me, are you going to be 518 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:16,320 Speaker 9: like that? 519 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: The witness went on to tell the inquest she wasn't 520 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 1: working at the time, she was broke and was desperate 521 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: for a job. A second interview followed on another afternoon. 522 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 1: She was invited back into the train carriage. 523 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 9: I was interviewed by Kevin. First, he sat me down, 524 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 9: he had a beer. He asked me if I wanted 525 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 9: to sit when I got there, I said no. He 526 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 9: kept sort of gazing out the window as if he 527 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 9: was thinking of what to say to me. He was 528 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 9: saying he didn't know how to He wanted to create 529 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 9: a management position. 530 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 7: That's right. 531 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 9: He didn't know how to create this without the other 532 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 9: staff knowing. He kept saying that everything that we talked 533 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 9: about had to stay in the carriage, and I wasn't 534 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 9: allowed to pit anything. Anything that happened in the carriage 535 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 9: had to stay in the carriage. 536 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: She ran Kevin to find out if she got the job. 537 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: The following day, she says, he asked to meet her 538 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 1: at the Marino Hotel in Camden. The witness told the 539 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: court the pair sat down and Kevin began looking all 540 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 1: creepy and propositioned her for sex. 541 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 9: If you're interested in getting involved with me, you don't 542 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 9: have to worry about money, he meant. I said, what 543 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 9: on a sexual basis are you asking me to have 544 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 9: sex with you? And he kind of looked around the 545 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 9: pub like to see if anyone was listening. 546 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: He said, the off is there if you need it. 547 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 9: I said, I need a job. 548 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 6: What about a job? 549 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 9: I'm not going to make up my mind about that 550 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 9: until you make up your mind about whether or not 551 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 9: I've got a job. He said, I'm going to go 552 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 9: and see my girl at Norellan, who I see once 553 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 9: a week. I'll give you one hundred and fifty dollars 554 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 9: instead of her if you want to suck my dick 555 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 9: instead of her. He said, you'll have to let me 556 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 9: know in the next couple because I'm going to. 557 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 7: See her this afternoon. 558 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 9: I thought I knew right then and there that I 559 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,120 Speaker 9: was not going to take the dog. But then I 560 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 9: said to him, my answer is I don't know I've 561 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 9: have I got a job or not. 562 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,320 Speaker 1: The court heard she told Kevin she wasn't that desperate 563 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 1: for money, but she was desperate for a job. He 564 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: then told her to come in for a trial the 565 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: following day, and she did. 566 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 5: Kevin came walking up the yard. 567 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: He gave me the filthiest look. That's right. 568 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 9: He shoved past me, physically shoved past me. And I 569 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 9: said good morning, and he said nothing. I felt a fight, 570 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,919 Speaker 9: that's right. We started fighting. I stood in the yard 571 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 9: at this time. I went into the yard, and when 572 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 9: Kevin went back into the carriage, I followed him, and 573 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,120 Speaker 9: I said, what's wrong with you? And he threw something 574 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 9: and said, what do you mean, what's wrong? I said, 575 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 9: your attitude. 576 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:54,880 Speaker 5: You're completely ignoring me. What's going on? 577 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 9: He raised his voice and he said, I didn't even 578 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 9: want you to start today. I said, what, You only 579 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 9: just finished telling me that you wanted me to start 580 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 9: this trial today and tomorrow starting at eight thirty. And 581 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 9: here I am, I've got. 582 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: Here, and I was in amazement. 583 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 5: He was yelling. 584 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 9: He was still yelling, saying I had all these forms 585 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,720 Speaker 9: they wanted you to fill in. I said, what forms? 586 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,000 Speaker 9: Where are these forms? 587 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 11: Give them to me. 588 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 9: I'll fill them in now. He said, I haven't got 589 00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 9: them prepared. There was a tax form there. 590 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 1: I said, give me the form. 591 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 9: I've got a tax phone number in my head. I'll 592 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:27,719 Speaker 9: fill it in now. 593 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:29,360 Speaker 1: It'll take me five seconds. 594 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 9: He said, oh, don't worry about it now, and he 595 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 9: started waving his arms around. And there was at least 596 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 9: two other staff I could see in the yard that 597 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,920 Speaker 9: were aware of this argument that we were having. It 598 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 9: was beyond belief argument. It was schizophrenic. It was I've 599 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:44,800 Speaker 9: never seen a man treated woman like that. 600 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 1: Ever, the witness was asked if anything else happened. 601 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 9: I said to him, that's it. I grabbed my handbag 602 00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 9: and I yelled, I said, I yelled back. I just 603 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 9: let him have it. I said, you've done nothing but 604 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 9: stuff me around for the last two weeks. 605 00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 7: There you go. 606 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 9: I put up with the timing. I put up with 607 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 9: the timing you've used, meeting you in stupid places. 608 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:04,839 Speaker 1: This is what I said to him. 609 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,600 Speaker 9: The only reason I put up with it is because 610 00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 9: I thought you were going to give me a job. 611 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 9: Don't yell at me. And I was pointing at him 612 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 9: and yelling, and I was yelling this out. I said, 613 00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 9: don't you remember asking me to come in here today? 614 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 9: Do you have too many beers at the interview last night? 615 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,320 Speaker 9: You should have placed an added the personal's column, not 616 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,720 Speaker 9: the employment section. What a cheap way to find girls, 617 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 9: I said to him, don't think that everything you've told 618 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 9: me in your stupid little stay in the carriage line 619 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 9: is going to stay in the carriage. 620 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,240 Speaker 1: Sorry, the woman told the inquest. She left in tears. 621 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: The court heard Kevin later phoned her parents' home, but 622 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 1: she'd moved out pretty quickly after the incident. 623 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 9: I felt scared, I felt threatened, I felt fear for 624 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 9: my life. I felt that if I was ever in 625 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 9: the house that he had my address, he might just 626 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,400 Speaker 9: want revenge because I had to go back at him. 627 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 9: And yeah, I felt scared for my life, so I 628 00:36:58,120 --> 00:36:59,879 Speaker 9: moved bash kill. 629 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, yep. It was then put to the witness that 630 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 1: someone had claimed she'd told Kevin she had a gun 631 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:08,680 Speaker 1: in her car. 632 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 9: No, just my son's order pistol. 633 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 1: Peter Singleton then asked her, did you tell Kevin that 634 00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:19,040 Speaker 1: you were going to shoot him? No, The witness says 635 00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 1: she reached out to Narrow police with her story immediately 636 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: after hearing about Rochelle's murder. Let's hear Peter Singleton's take 637 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 1: on this woman's evidence. 638 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 15: Well, in my experience, it's very unusual to go to 639 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 15: a job interview and end up in fear of your life. 640 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,279 Speaker 15: In the context of this case, what it is is 641 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,320 Speaker 15: a part of painting a picture of one of the 642 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,320 Speaker 15: people of interest, as I said before, a part of 643 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 15: it of a thorough investigation tries to understand the victim 644 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 15: and tries to understand the various people who might have 645 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:54,839 Speaker 15: come across her path in order to work out who 646 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 15: it is. But it's worth pointing out that there are 647 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:04,279 Speaker 15: different legal tests applicable at an investigation stage, at an 648 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:09,440 Speaker 15: inquest stage, and a trial stage. But the basic idea 649 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 15: is that the person that the accused has a history 650 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,120 Speaker 15: that shows that he or she has a tendency to 651 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:22,320 Speaker 15: act in a particular peculiar way, or is known to 652 00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 15: have committed prior acts in a particular peculiar way, such that. 653 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 3: It is likely. 654 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,240 Speaker 15: That the crime with which he or she is charged, 655 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 15: which was committed in that peculiar way, was committed by him. 656 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,760 Speaker 15: But there has to be a higher level of peculiarity 657 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:46,320 Speaker 15: or special features that show that it really is very unlikely. 658 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 11: To be a coincidence. 659 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:53,839 Speaker 15: The fact that a job applicant applicant was creeped out 660 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 15: to the point of extreme fearfulness does not line up 661 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 15: with any anything specific to what happened to Rochelle. In fact, 662 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 15: it could be said that it goes the other way, 663 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:11,319 Speaker 15: because Rochelle presumably went for a job interview and wasn't 664 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,000 Speaker 15: for it to out and took the job. That's where 665 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:19,719 Speaker 15: the similarity is, and it isn't similar. The evidence you've 666 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 15: pointed out really is evidence that mister Correll might be 667 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 15: a bad person of the relevant kind. Well, that makes 668 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 15: him of interest to investigate. It can't be used as 669 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:37,280 Speaker 15: evidence against him. If it doesn't lead to admissible evidence, 670 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,320 Speaker 15: then it comes to nothing. 671 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 1: So when you painted this picture of Kevin Correll, what 672 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 1: did you see? 673 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 15: I recall that I put to him a list of 674 00:39:53,360 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 15: similarities between Rochelle's circumstances and engagement with him, and the 675 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:06,239 Speaker 15: details relating to at least one, maybe a couple of 676 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,760 Speaker 15: women who had been in mister Carrell's life in the past, 677 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:17,640 Speaker 15: and they were sufficiently striking in my view to put 678 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 15: them to him for comparison and for his comment. In 679 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 15: the end, of course, they were not judged enough to 680 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 15: prove his guilt of any crime. 681 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,840 Speaker 1: How did you react to that line of questioning from you? 682 00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 15: My recollection, which is subject to the transcription and should 683 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,959 Speaker 15: be checked, is that he at that point approximately that point, 684 00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,440 Speaker 15: decline to answer questions on the grounds that it might 685 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 15: tend to incriminate him. 686 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 6: Have you ever told any person that you were, or 687 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,799 Speaker 6: ever had been, a private investigator and. 688 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,360 Speaker 16: They have asked mister Johnston or refuse to answer that 689 00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 16: question on the grounds that it may incriminate me the work. 690 00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:01,719 Speaker 6: As a private investigator. 691 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,680 Speaker 16: On the advice of mister Johnston I refuse to answer 692 00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:06,840 Speaker 16: that question on the grounds that it may incriminate me. 693 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:09,920 Speaker 6: Have you ever worked as a psychologist or psychiatrist? 694 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 16: On the advice of mister Johnston, I refuse to answer 695 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,080 Speaker 16: that question on the grounds that it may incriminate me. 696 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,680 Speaker 16: Have you ever falsely made a representation to any person 697 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,239 Speaker 16: about your employment or the works that you did or 698 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,880 Speaker 16: had done in the past. On the advice of mister Johnston, 699 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 16: I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that 700 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 16: it may incriminate me. 701 00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,720 Speaker 6: What was your reason for changing your name to Kevin Corrupt? 702 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:33,720 Speaker 16: On the advice of mister Johnston, I refuse to answer 703 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:35,799 Speaker 16: that question on the grounds that it. 704 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:36,880 Speaker 6: May incriminate me. 705 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,240 Speaker 1: Is there any reason that I should be concerned about 706 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,320 Speaker 1: my safety investigating this case? 707 00:41:54,200 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 15: I think you should be a little bit careful. There's 708 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 15: a reasonable chance that the person who killed Rochelle Childs 709 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:12,359 Speaker 15: with a sexual motive, if that's what he had, would 710 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 15: have a similar motive towards you, but also hatred if 711 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,239 Speaker 15: you actually manage to expose him or bring him into disrepute. 712 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,960 Speaker 1: It's a very serious thing to say, and obviously not 713 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,880 Speaker 1: one that you take lightly. No, but. 714 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 15: What you're doing is potentially very valuable to the public, 715 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:43,759 Speaker 15: but potentially very harmful to a dangerous person. And I'm 716 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:47,239 Speaker 15: afraid you fit the profile of his potential victim. We 717 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:52,560 Speaker 15: do know what Rochelle's profile was, and you're not wholly dissimilar. 718 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,239 Speaker 15: Of course, there'll be vast differences between any two people, 719 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:59,440 Speaker 15: but at a superficial level, this person's obviously dangerous, whoever. 720 00:42:59,239 --> 00:42:59,640 Speaker 6: It may be. 721 00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,160 Speaker 15: You are embarking on it now. The chance for any 722 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,960 Speaker 15: of us is rather small, but you have heightened the 723 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:09,160 Speaker 15: chance for. 724 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 1: Yourself coming soon on de Rochelle. And I remember one 725 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,160 Speaker 1: of the last things I said to him was I'll 726 00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 1: find him. 727 00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:34,120 Speaker 6: I drew Peter on the side of the lake and say, well, 728 00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 6: it's your job to draw that crocodile out. 729 00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:39,600 Speaker 12: Mill's dad was fed a lot of lies about the 730 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:40,719 Speaker 12: homicide squad. 731 00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 8: Which would so strange that you would give a young 732 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,560 Speaker 8: girl like that that sort of vehicle for a weekend. 733 00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 1: Well, thank you, Mill, And we're about the sirch we. 734 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,799 Speaker 6: Look at someone with psychopathic personality. 735 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,160 Speaker 1: You have more strength than you give yourself. 736 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:00,440 Speaker 14: For. 737 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:09,200 Speaker 7: There were quite a few years that I know I 738 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 7: protected him. 739 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 1: Dear Rochelle is a multi media production from True Crime Australia. 740 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,080 Speaker 1: If you want to be one of the first to 741 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,759 Speaker 1: find out what happens next, go to Deroshelle dot com 742 00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:27,560 Speaker 1: dot a you.
