1 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: The public has had a long held fascination with detectives. 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: Detective sy aside of life. The average person is never 3 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 1: exposed her I spent thirty four years as a cop. 4 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: For twenty five of those years I was catching killers. 5 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: That's what I did for a living. I was a 6 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: homicide detective. I'm no longer just interviewing bad guys. Instead, 7 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: I'm taking the public into the world in which I operated. 8 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: The guests I talk to each week have amazing stories 9 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: from all sides of the law. The interviews are raw 10 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: and honest, just like the people I talk to. Some 11 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: of the content and language might be confronting. That's because 12 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: no one who comes into contact with crime is left unchanged. 13 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: Join me now as I take you into this world. 14 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: This is Part two of my chat with Christy Charles, 15 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: who's the sister of Rachelle Charles, the twenty three year 16 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 1: old woman who has murdered in two thousand and one, 17 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: a murder which remains unsolved to this day, along with 18 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: investigative journalists Ashley Hand, who's been working with Christie on 19 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: a podcast called Dear Rochelle. In Part one, we've got 20 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: an overview of the murder. In Part two, we speak 21 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: about some of the things uncovered whilst looking at Rochelle's murder, 22 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: which I hope, like Christy and Ashley, will put pressure 23 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: on people to ensure justice is finally done. Murders like 24 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: Rochelle's should not go unsolved. The podcast has been out 25 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: for a little bit. Now are you happy with the 26 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: impact that Dear Rochelle is having the getting your sister's 27 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 1: murder out into the public. 28 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 2: I couldn't be happier. It's bigger than I ever thought 29 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 2: was possible, and the coverage has been incredible. The marketing team, 30 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: the whole team Rochelle, the team behind ash and just 31 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: the reach that it's getting and has gotten is incredible. 32 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: And that is what you hope to achieve with getting 33 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: involved in the project, like the podcast. 34 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 2: Yep, it's fitting for her. Just yeah she always you 35 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 2: just so go hard to go home. I think they've 36 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 2: definitely done that. 37 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, it's been And what about you, Ashley? It 38 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: certainly had an impact, it looked at all the media 39 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: coverage of it, and people who are people are literally 40 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: asking me questions on the street about it, So it's 41 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: got people's attention. 42 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 3: That's great to hear. 43 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 4: I know, when you're working on a story like this, 44 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 4: it feels like you're carrying this secret for so long. 45 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 4: Because of the sensitive nature of the investigation, you couldn't 46 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 4: really tell that many friends or family because we were 47 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 4: trying to keep it under wraps. And so when it 48 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 4: was finally out there, it was a bit overwhelming. I've 49 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 4: got to say, just to see it in print and 50 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 4: everywhere and finally know it's out there. But I just 51 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 4: mainly felt really proud and finally, this is it. 52 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 3: This is what we've been working for. Let's go. So 53 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 3: maybe more hard work starts. 54 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll get getting the impact. And quite frankly, I 55 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: think it puts pressure on the person responsible for this, 56 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: and I say, to that person now talking to you guys, 57 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: I wouldn't like to be that person. Because there's one 58 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: thing I'm very sure of, having worked homicide as long 59 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: as long as I did. If an investigation gets a 60 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,360 Speaker 1: lot of media attention, there's a too fold benefit the 61 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: way I see it, that you get the public interested 62 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: in it. Public are interested, politicians are interested, and police 63 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: properly resource the investigation. And if it's been sitting in 64 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: a cardboard box or sitting in brief boxes, on the 65 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: desk somewhere. They tend to get open when there's some 66 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: public public interest in a case. So I'm sure the 67 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: type of exposure that dear Rachelle is getting across the 68 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: police will be looking at it. The other thing that 69 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: I think important, Christy, you might understand this, but it 70 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: makes that Rachelle's life is not forgotten, and she's not forgotten. 71 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: Here we are over twenty years down the track and 72 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: we're still talking about the type of person she is. 73 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: Does that help you? 74 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty empowering. I feel really good about it. 75 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 2: I feel like, oh, you know, we're giving her a voice, 76 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 2: and I think that that's really important because we've been 77 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 2: quite for so long. And yeah, there's someone out there 78 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 2: listening to this who's feeling very uncomfortable about all this. 79 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 2: I think that's incredible. 80 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: One percent. I like to think the pressure that person's feeling. 81 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: And there's no statute of limitations on murder investigations, and 82 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: you hear about it all the time, the unsolved homicide 83 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: locking people up twenty years, thirty years down the track, 84 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: and yeah, it's not going to be forgotten. And I'm 85 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: sure they don't like the fact that it's back in 86 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: the attention of the media. 87 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, can I ask you a question about that, just 88 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 4: as your experience as a homicide to active for so long, 89 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 4: what happens to a person when something like this drops 90 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 4: as someone that is guilty, that thinks that they've got 91 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 4: away with murder something so serious for so many years 92 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 4: and they think they're undetected. What happens when it starts 93 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 4: exploding in the media Again, have you ever seen that 94 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 4: from behind the scenes. 95 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: I've seen it, and I've spoken to people that we've 96 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: done that too. And I was going to say it, 97 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: if people are now listening to this podcast and Dear 98 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: Rochelle podcast and all the interest in the media, have 99 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: a look at the person that you might be watching 100 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: or listening or talking about this, because a person responsible 101 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: for this will act strange. Now, that person might, if 102 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: it comes on TV or it comes up on radio 103 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: or whatever, might want to disengage from the conversation not 104 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: talk about it, or they might talk about it incessantly. 105 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: But whatever's going on, the person responsible with all this 106 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: exposure is going to act a little bit strange, and 107 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: people that are close to that person will look at 108 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 1: the person think why are we getting a reaction from 109 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: that person because we're talking about this crime, because they 110 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: will carry the guilt, will that will sit with them 111 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: and they'll be thinking, well, I've got away with it, 112 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: and now the pressures on. So I think it creates 113 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: a good opportunity for something to break and then the public, 114 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: the public should if someone then forgot suspicion about someone, 115 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: just someone that's ACKed in a little bit differently, when 116 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: all this talk is about, dear Rochelle, okay, pass that 117 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: onto the police. And I point this out that if 118 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: you know someone's committed an offense and you don't come forward, 119 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: there's a strong likelihood that you're committing in a serious 120 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: offense too. And these cases don't get forgotten. You can 121 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 1: see Christy's here and I've got a sense of you 122 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: enough to know you're not going to forget this, forget 123 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: this case. So the pressure, pressure is going to be on. 124 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: There's a reward out there, there's a whole range of things. 125 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: But if they've got if the public have got information, 126 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: they need to come forward, is no excuse not to 127 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: come forward, and that could just be that little piece. 128 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: But for the person responsible, yeah, I hope you're feeling 129 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: pretty nervous at the moment. You should feel nervous at 130 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: the moment because at any time there could be a 131 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: knock at the door, and that could be the police, 132 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: and there goes your life. You're locked away for the 133 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: rest of your life. So long answer to a short question. 134 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: But I'm passionate about this. I think this is the 135 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: type of pressure that should be applied to people. You 136 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: should not be able to get away with murder. 137 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 3: So couldn't agree more. 138 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's my little pitch, and let's hope the person 139 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: is listening to it. And in answer further to your question, 140 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: do the people involved in these crimes listen to the 141 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: media one hundred percent seen it and time and time again, 142 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: and they can say I know, I'm not interested. They'll 143 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: be listening and they'll be panicking, and they might make 144 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 1: a stupid move. So this is the type of pressure that. 145 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, and should their family and friends be asking them questions? 146 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 3: What should they do? 147 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: I think? So, if I was sitting beside someone that 148 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: I suspect of a murder, why are you reacting that way? 149 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: What's triggering? Why don't you want to talk about this case? 150 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: Or why do you overreact every time it gets mentioned 151 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: and it will get mentioned like the public or interest 152 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: in it now, so it will get mentioned, so you 153 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: don't have to have to front the person. But if 154 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: you've got concerns, pass the information on the police. And 155 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: it can be done discreetly too. It can be passed 156 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: on so the person doesn't know where the where the 157 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: information is coming from. There's so many different ways that 158 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: this information can be passed on. So I get excited 159 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: sitting down with people like yourselves so they're doing something 160 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: like this like I did with Headley, because that is 161 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: making the difference. That is the way these difficult crimes 162 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: get solved by putting the pressure on. So I'm a 163 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: big believer in using the media. If we want to 164 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 1: call podcast media, which is a form of it, now 165 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: we can use it in a positive way. So yeah, 166 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: I think it's great, Like you could have gone on 167 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: it could have been an article in the paper or whatever, 168 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: but it doesn't get that sort of in, that buy 169 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: in that the public get when they're listening to a 170 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: podcast and listening to it unfold and they're all coming up. 171 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: Everyone thinks they're a detective. So everyone's coming up going 172 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: I think it's this person, that person but it just 173 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: creates that environment. And when it's all said and done, 174 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: what are we doing it four is to get justice 175 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: for Rachelle and so the pressure. So, yeah, have a 176 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: look at the person that's acting strange and start to 177 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 1: question why they're acting. 178 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 4: Strange and what would you say, Gary to someone that 179 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 4: may be close to this person, either back then or 180 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 4: now that might feel afraid. 181 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: Well, there's protections that can be put in place, and 182 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: I can understand the concerns and being afraid, but you 183 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: could approach the police in the strictness of confidence and 184 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: the information wouldn't get out and the protections would be 185 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: put in place. So I do understand the fear that 186 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: people might might have in pointing the finger at someone 187 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: or a concerning but there are measures that can be 188 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: put in in place to protect that person, so you 189 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: don't need to be fearful and it can be treated 190 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: with the strictness of confidence. So anyway, Chrissy, sorry, Ashley 191 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: and I are falling back into our old rolls. Actually 192 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: has been a journalist and we've completely lost track. Oh 193 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: that's right, this is a this is a podcast. Okay, 194 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: we'll get back to it. But yeah, I think they're 195 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: important important messages. So, yeah, what and there's so much 196 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: that's been uncovered in the investigation that's been done on 197 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: the podcast. What are the things that you guys think 198 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: are interesting? And we don't know, we haven't got time 199 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: to go through the full details, but just a couple 200 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: of things that have uncovered that excite you ll have 201 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: got you curious, that have flowed out from what's been 202 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: done on the podcast. 203 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 2: I think that the warping shaw and the significance of 204 00:10:54,360 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 2: the warping shaw is incredibly important. You want to add, Yeah, well. 205 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 4: I'm I'm really curious and about the key pieces of 206 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 4: evidence and one of them, just for example, the tank. 207 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the. 208 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 4: Reason because so many experts, former detectives have given us 209 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 4: insights into the mind of a killer and the mind 210 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 4: of someone who disposes of a body and what the 211 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 4: process they go through. And so when we look at 212 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 4: the tank, which was the initial possibly the initial place 213 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 4: where the killer had intended to hide Rochelle's body, but 214 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 4: that didn't work out for one of many reasons, which 215 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 4: may have been that the concrete lid was too heavy 216 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 4: for one person potentially or they couldn't slide it off 217 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 4: for whatever reason, or there wasn't enough room in the 218 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 4: tank to fit Rachelle, so they've resorted to the fire. 219 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 4: So I'm interested to ask you if you think the 220 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 4: significant of the tank or if you think that the 221 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 4: tank is significant, because you when we went down there, 222 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 4: that's when it really had an impact on. 223 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 3: Me, thinking it's nighttime. 224 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 4: You wouldn't be able to see the tank at nighttime, 225 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 4: and who what are the chances that someone would just 226 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 4: stumble upon this tank? So the thinking is that somebody 227 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 4: knew that the tank was there, so they had to 228 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 4: have been familiar with the area. 229 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 3: And you said that to. 230 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 4: Me in one of our first interviews when we were 231 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 4: down there as well, that why are you so confident 232 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 4: that the killer you. 233 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 2: That area find And I remember it's well, I mean, 234 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 2: we couldn't find it when we went down there, but 235 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 2: it's it's cleared a lot more than it was back 236 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 2: then and when because I used to go in there 237 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 2: and sit in there, which some people. 238 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,839 Speaker 1: So it's a concrete tank in. 239 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, concrete tank. 240 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 4: So it had at the time a concrete thick, concrete lid, 241 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 4: and but that lid has now been replaced with a 242 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 4: plastic lid and the ground kind of So it's not 243 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 4: obvious now, but at the time, from what I understand, 244 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 4: you describe it because you've seen it. 245 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, you had to duck in under a branch and 246 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 2: it was a lot of room to. 247 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: Be in there. And it's a public bush land. 248 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 2: It's pretty close to the road the National Park. It's 249 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 2: behind the tree line and you'd have to sort of 250 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 2: duck in. And I didn't realize that you could get 251 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 2: to it from the back. And I think that's what 252 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 2: the killer did, that they have taken her behind. 253 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: And then is it on the beach side the road? 254 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 4: Okay, so it's on the eastern side of GIRoA Road 255 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 4: or the Crooked River Road seven mile Beach GIRoA. 256 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: That runs all the way down, Okay. 257 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 3: The back road to Naura. 258 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: I know the road. I a couple of things and 259 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: we'll talk about the experts you've you've got working on 260 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: the on the podcast. A couple of things that jump 261 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: out to me with this, the circumstances surrounding because quite 262 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: often you can work out a lot by the manner 263 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: and the way in which the the victim's body has 264 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: been disposed of. This to me doesn't look like a 265 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: planned crime. It looks like such a situation that's escalated. 266 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: That's the sense I get at it, A get of it. 267 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: I'm also a starting point with when you're looking at 268 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: why has a body been disposed in this location? I 269 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 1: agree with what you touched on where other people have 270 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: said it's an area that familiar with Quite often when 271 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: people are disposing bodies, they go there and dispose it 272 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: because they're familiar with the are. If someone knew about 273 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: the tank and discreet tank, it would be a good 274 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: place to locate the body. To me, it seems strange 275 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: because we're talking one hundred kilometers from the location to Giraa. 276 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: There's a risk associated with driving a car if you 277 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: have someone that's a body in the car, so there's 278 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: obvious risk there to go all that way out and 279 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: then dispose of a body in the manner To me, 280 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: it strikes as panic. You've set the body alight. Well, 281 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: there's more likelihood that someone's going to discover the body. 282 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: If you light a fire, you're destroying potentially forensic evidence. 283 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: But there seems to be a panic about it. So 284 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: it's someone that didn't plan it and escalate, just escalated. 285 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: I think it's a reasonable case theory that if it's 286 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: right near the tank, that that was the intended intended location. 287 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: And then the car. Is there any suggestion that the 288 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: Rochelle's car was used to convey what basis was? 289 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 4: There were three there were sightings or separate sighting four people, 290 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 4: three cars, so a couple in one car. There were 291 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 4: four four witnesses had cited a car similar to Rochelle's, 292 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:05,119 Speaker 4: if not one witness who knew his Holden's described basically 293 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 4: Rachelle's car so. 294 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 2: Pretty much said it was it was a VB commodoel 295 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 2: but it looked like a v H which is exactly 296 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 2: what it is, because it's a VB Commodore. But it's 297 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 2: got the VH lights and grill. 298 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: You're the expert here. 299 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 5: He described it on the on the vehicle. 300 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: Well yeah, okay, Well that's interesting, isn't it. And that 301 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: if her car was there taken to dispose of Rachelle's 302 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: body there and then driven all the way back to 303 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: hopefully just the hotel, all the way back there, okay. 304 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 4: And the thinking is as well that perhaps they were 305 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 4: already down there. 306 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 2: So that's when it escalated. 307 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 4: Chris Illingsworth, who is a criminal profiler, that has given 308 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 4: us insights into what she believes happened. Her thinking is 309 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 4: that she was probably killed and the incident has had 310 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 4: and closer to Jiroa as opposed to back in Bargo. 311 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 4: But because there are those missing nine hours and there 312 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 4: are no independent witnesses or any forensic evidence to show 313 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 4: where Rochelle was killed, that's one of the biggest mysteries 314 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 4: of this case. We don't know where she was killed, 315 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 4: so we only know where she was found. 316 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: It's a reasonable and I know Chris and she's very 317 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: experienced a reasonable assumption that escalated down there because it's 318 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: a long way to go to dispose of a. 319 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 5: Body where expanse of bush land, between. 320 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 1: So many other locations where a body could be disposed of. 321 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: So again that sound sounds reasonable. 322 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 4: But then still you would wouldn't You still expect though, 323 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 4: that they go to a place like Mick Ashwood says 324 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 4: that they're familiar with. So again, what takes this person 325 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 4: to find that tank or to go looking for that tank. 326 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 4: I think you're right though, and I definitely do believe 327 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 4: that it's more likely that the murder wasn't planned, perhaps 328 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 4: something else was planned. That's my feeling on it that 329 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 4: it's probably more likely that whoever took Rochelle that night, 330 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 4: whoever met up with her, probably planned something, maybe some 331 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 4: sort of sexual encounter, and had hoped that it would 332 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 4: go it would be consensual, or maybe that already planned 333 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 4: to Yeah, something so sinister. Maybe they'd planned something sinister already, 334 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 4: but it wasn't as bad as murder. I'm not really sure. 335 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 4: We're never going to really know that, are we. 336 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: Well, hopefully we will, Hopefully we'll, But I suppose it's 337 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: speculation if went there with an intent, that that intent 338 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: didn't play out. Twenty three year old girl like Rachelle, 339 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: I'm thinking that's yeah. Is there a suggestion that it 340 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: was sexually motivated the crime? 341 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 2: Yes? 342 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: What brings people to that conclusion? 343 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 2: Well, she was she didn't have any clothes on from 344 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 2: the waist down right, And yeah, we've had every detective 345 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 2: that's worked on it said that they believe it was 346 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 2: sexually motivated. Yeah, we don't have any evidence of rape 347 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 2: or sexual assault, but that could be as a result 348 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 2: of the fire. 349 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: What about the forensic examination of the car? Did that 350 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: reveal anything? You've indicated in part one that your assessment, 351 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,199 Speaker 1: and I think it's a very sound assessment that she 352 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 1: wasn't the person that parked the car there. 353 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. So the police have bits of the car, they 354 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 2: have the steering wheel, they have a bit of carpet, 355 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 2: They've got bits and pieces that they took off the car, 356 00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 2: but they weren't able to lift any DNA off any 357 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,639 Speaker 2: of that. The sheet that they found nearby, they believe 358 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 2: that was used, however, that was contaminated by a police officer. 359 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 2: So the DNA found on that. 360 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: Was it is? Has there been a recent forensic review? 361 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: Do you know if there's no? 362 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 5: But I've asked for it because. 363 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 1: That's I know with old homicides that I've had because 364 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 1: of the improvements and the changes in forensic science, at 365 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: a forensic review and gave for all the exhibits that 366 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: are still still retained. 367 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:34,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've asked for it. They weren't keen on it. 368 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. Who are you speaking to in REGARDSS that was 369 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 1: Nigel or own it? 370 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 5: Unsolved homicide? 371 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, and more recently Matthew Russell, right, and what was 372 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 2: the restinale behind that? Well? It like their arguments are 373 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 2: that's a strong argument. You can't there's a finite amount 374 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,479 Speaker 2: of times that you can test something, so it's not 375 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 2: something that they routinely go back and test. If there's 376 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 2: some reason for it, they will, but they won't just 377 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 2: go back over everything. 378 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,719 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, you mentioned the names, and it's difficult for 379 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 1: me because I know both both those people and I 380 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: respect both those people. Yeah, and so do I and Nigel. 381 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 1: I actually worked with him. I supervised him in his 382 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: early early days in homicide, and he's a very consciouest 383 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: just good operator. So I think you've got a good 384 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 1: person there. But yeah, I can understand your frustration. 385 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, we had when we were looking at the car. 386 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 2: We were looking at the petrol cap and we weren't 387 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 2: convinced that that was ever tested. I've asked Matthew Russell 388 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 2: and he can't find any evidence of if it was tested. 389 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 2: He can't find what happened with it, so he's not 390 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 2: sure whether it was or not. So he said he's 391 00:21:54,760 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 2: put in put that in the hands of a squad 392 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 2: near where I live, and they're going to come out 393 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 2: and seize the petrol cap and they are going to test, 394 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 2: which is great. 395 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: Well, I think to me, and I do listen to names, 396 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: and you form your own views, but I think with 397 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: Nigel and Matt. That's the point in a good direction 398 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: that gives me. 399 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 2: And they've always been really willing to talk to me. 400 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 2: I've had meetings with them and they put up with 401 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 2: me digging my heels in and having, you know, selling 402 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 2: them exactly what I think. They're very good. They're good 403 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 2: towards me. 404 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: They're they're both nice people too. 405 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's and Matt's a car Holden Fank as well, 406 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 2: so we. 407 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: Went I think Nigel is too. He's a bit of 408 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: a bit of a redhead. So you've been able to 409 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: talk on that level. Yeah, but yeah, these are the 410 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: things that it's so hard, hard for the family. And 411 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: what I take away from that, the fact that they're 412 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 1: talking to is such a positive, positive situation because it's 413 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,919 Speaker 1: when families get stonewalled. I think half the time that 414 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: police might be working on the case, but they're not 415 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: keeping the families informed and that creates that pain. There 416 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: was in one of the episodes I heard on the 417 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: podcast that there was I think he was a boss 418 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: of homicide at the time, Scott Cooked talking about CCTV 419 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: footage that was couldn't be found. What was that in 420 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: relation until we touched on it and in part one. 421 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, so they see CCTV footage from petrol stations between 422 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 2: Vargo and now On. And the reason for that is one, 423 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 2: if you're driving a V eight commodore, you know, pass 424 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 2: everything on the road except for a petrol station. And 425 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 2: because an accelerant was used, right and because Rochelle was 426 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 2: so broke, she would only put you know, five ten 427 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 2: dollars worth of fuel in the car at the time 428 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 2: because she just never had any money. So if her 429 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 2: car was used and it traveled one hundred kilometers each way, 430 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 2: they would have needed to put fuel in it. So 431 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,919 Speaker 2: that's why there's a tension on the field cap because 432 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 2: the field cap is one of those key locked silver 433 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,879 Speaker 2: caps behind like a flat that you can open with 434 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 2: your hand. But there's no fingerprint, dust or anything on 435 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 2: the cap. So that's why we questioned. We had Chris 436 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 2: Darcy from Search Dogs looking at it and he questioned 437 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 2: whether that had ever been tested, and that's a. 438 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: Really good question. Well, it makes sense if they're coming 439 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: back and the petrol person driving the car back. But 440 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: the cc TV for the job had a lot of 441 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: success with investigations getting there at service stations where people 442 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: are up to no good heading along the highways, so 443 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,919 Speaker 1: is there any hope that that might be found. 444 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 2: They lost it really early on, and I think Christian 445 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 2: Olivari's and his team went right through wherever it was 446 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 2: supposedly stored and they couldn't find it either at the 447 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:03,199 Speaker 2: time of the inquest, ye, so they have had a 448 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 2: lot of people looking for it. 449 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 4: There are two segments of CCTV that, according to the 450 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 4: brief that we have, is still in police possessions. So 451 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 4: Christy has asked Unsolved if they'll let her look at it, 452 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 4: at least just Christie, just so that she could rule 453 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 4: it in or out. Because there is a woman on 454 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 4: one of the segments of CCTV within close proximity of 455 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 4: where Rochelle's body was found, but also just a few 456 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 4: hours before she was found. So there's one piece of 457 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 4: CCTV that has a woman and an unknown man. Both 458 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 4: of them are unknown, so a woman and a man. 459 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 4: And then the second piece of CCTV was about an 460 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 4: hour later, I think, and that had just two men 461 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 4: on it and a commodore, but the number. 462 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 3: Plate was obscured because of the hype. 463 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,679 Speaker 4: They had their lights on and they didn't turn their 464 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 4: lights off when they filled up right, So my feeling 465 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 4: on that was was that intentional? Did they leave the 466 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 4: lights on by mistake or was that a deliberate attempt 467 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 4: to disguise the number plate and obscure the number plate? 468 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 4: So that's why Christy wants to see that CCTV. 469 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 5: Is there a. 470 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: Suggestion that could have the female could have been rachelle Is? 471 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 3: We just don't know. 472 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 4: So at the very least, you would think that Christy 473 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 4: would have been shown that CCTV to say absolutely not 474 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 4: that is not. 475 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 3: Her or who is this person? 476 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:40,239 Speaker 4: Because even though it's almost twenty four years old, I 477 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,879 Speaker 4: still think that even if it is just black and white, 478 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 4: a family member could could make out someone if they're identifiable. 479 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 2: With the car. 480 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 5: The car, so oh no, if it's the car, yeah, okay. 481 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 4: So that's how that's our question to police is why 482 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 4: has Christy never been shown this CCTV if it does exist? 483 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 4: Because according to the brief, that was not this CCTV 484 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 4: that was lost, the other CCTV. 485 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 3: Other CCTV was lost. Okay, so there is some but 486 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 3: you've never seen it. 487 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 2: No, And I've asked to say, and I can't remember 488 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 2: what the response was. The other CCTV footage that they've 489 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 2: got is from the Bargo train station. Yeah, apparently that's 490 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,120 Speaker 2: very grainy and very hard to make anything out. 491 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:28,359 Speaker 5: Matt Russell said that. 492 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 2: He said, it's really hard to. 493 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, certainly improved the CCTV type coverage that you 494 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: get in this day and age, but the old ones 495 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: are hard. But the fact that the car was where 496 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 1: it was parked, someone who parked it had to leave 497 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 1: that location too. But I would imagine that that footage 498 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: was grabbed very early in the investigation because otherwise that 499 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: we probably wouldn't have have copies of it because it 500 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: gets disposed of sometimes. To put your mind to these, 501 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: I know there was a lot of time, doesn't really 502 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: put your mind to these, but knowing that these mistakes 503 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: shouldn't happen down the track. Not the impacts on this investigation, 504 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: but the practices are a lot better now on where 505 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: exhibits are stored. It used to be. I won't say 506 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 1: ad hoc. There was a system in place, but it 507 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: was a system that failed too often and the exhibits 508 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 1: were misplaced. And you think, well, how can you lose 509 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 1: an exhibit to a murder investigation? But police stations someone 510 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 1: retires and boxes left there, it gets moved, someone comes 511 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 1: in and it's happened too often, but now they've got 512 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: a system in place that that should not happen. Down 513 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: the track with the podcast, you've got some expert opinion 514 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 1: on the situation or people that were involved in the investigation. 515 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 1: Can we talk through a couple couple of them? You 516 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: mentioned Chris Illingsworth, What did you run past her? What 517 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: type of things were you looking at? Chris to provide, well. 518 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 4: Chris was involved in profiling Rochelle's killer, so she has intimate. 519 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 3: Knowledge about the case. 520 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 4: She examined a lot of the evidence and wrote a 521 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 4: report to the New South Wales Police Force about the behavior, 522 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,959 Speaker 4: the type and profile the killer. So for that reason, 523 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,479 Speaker 4: she was someone that I really wanted to speak to 524 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 4: and she was willing to because she believes, like most 525 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 4: retired police officers, that getting that information out there could 526 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 4: help and could take this case a little bit further. 527 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 4: And she also believes in a podcast too, So she 528 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 4: was on board and she wanted to help the family 529 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 4: and was very generous with her time and went back 530 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 4: over her memory of the case and also met us 531 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 4: down at GIRoA and gave us some really fascinating insights 532 00:29:54,960 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 4: into what she believed happened. Fascinating but also traumatic for 533 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 4: Christy to hear. And that was a really difficult conversation 534 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 4: to have to relay to her what Chris had relayed 535 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:15,719 Speaker 4: to us. So but you know, in true Christie's style, 536 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 4: she just takes it and just processes it and says, 537 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 4: I wanted out there. You know, this is what he 538 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 4: did to her, and it's part of the part of 539 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 4: the evidence, and we could it could help us. 540 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: The cause of death. What was what was put down 541 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: as the cause of death. 542 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 2: It was unknown, but either strangulation or suffocation. 543 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: Right, Okay, Damien learn and the people that would have 544 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: heard that name from from here and he's been a 545 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 1: guest on this, but he was also the detective involved 546 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: in the teacher's pet like a dog with a bone 547 00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: when he's on the case. So you consulted consulted with him. 548 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: So that's a good choice. What did Damien bring to 549 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: the podcast? 550 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,959 Speaker 4: Well, I shared the brief of evidence with him and 551 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 4: asked him if he wanted to get on board because 552 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 4: I needed help and I wanted someone who could independently 553 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 4: help me pull out the key pieces of evidence that 554 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 4: we wanted to use in the podcast, and for obvious 555 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 4: reasons his profile with the Teacher's Pet. He was also retired, 556 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 4: and I thought he might have the time because it 557 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 4: is really hard to get people to commit to such 558 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 4: a big project. But when I reached out to him, 559 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 4: he said yes, absolutely, And then he tells a different 560 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 4: story that I just fronted him at the airport basically 561 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 4: with a brief of evidence and he did agree to 562 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 4: meet me though, and yeah, he started reading the case 563 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 4: and then we just had regular contact and I surprised 564 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 4: Christy with having him on board, and which was really nice, 565 00:31:55,920 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 4: just because they have felt forgotten for so many years. 566 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 4: So to bring someone with a profile like that to 567 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 4: the case, I just thought it was. Yeah, it just 568 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 4: shows that there are still many people that are interested 569 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 4: in Rachelle's case and getting justice for her and your family. 570 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 4: So I just thought he'd be a great person to 571 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 4: bring on board and his knowledge and his analysis of 572 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 4: the case. And he's just a straight shooter as well. 573 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 4: He's great for a podcast. He's got a great voice. 574 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 4: He just gets straight to the point and tells it 575 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 4: like it is. 576 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: He doesn't care about ruffling feathers, which is a good 577 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: trait to have when you're involved in that type of stuff. Chritsie, 578 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 1: you would have been happy for him to come on board. 579 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's really cool. 580 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 1: You need those crazy, crazy human beings to sometimes push 581 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: it a long day. 582 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 2: That's all right. I relate to that side of him 583 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 2: really well. He's yeah, and we agree on a lot 584 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 2: of things when it comes to the case. And just 585 00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 2: having his insight was incredible, and he's just so giving 586 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 2: with his time and he's just such a good guy. 587 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. And it must know you've carried this for so 588 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 1: long and having a team of good people, committed people 589 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,960 Speaker 1: must must give you some contentment knowing that people. 590 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 2: Are looking at it's incredible. 591 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: Mick Ash would Okay, Mick took and off, Michael. We're 592 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: discussing it because I know Mick well and we worked 593 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 1: together in homicide, and I was thinking he might have 594 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: reviewed it in Unsolved homicide. When you said I think Chrissy, 595 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: that Mick ashwould became involved twelve months after either was 596 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: running the investigation. I think Mick would have been on 597 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: the floor as in one of the working teams at 598 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: that point in time. And I think the processes that 599 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 1: we had in place here that if an investigation like 600 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: this one had got to a certain point, homicide would 601 00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 1: come down and act as a consultant or taken. So 602 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: I think that was the capacity. I thought it might 603 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: have been unsolved, but he probably was on the floor. 604 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: Giving the time. 605 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 5: Frame, that's likely. 606 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,160 Speaker 2: As I said, my memory of that's shaky. 607 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 1: And how have you found Mick Ashwood's input. He's out 608 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 1: of the cops now, so he's not he doesn't have 609 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: to do the corporate spin. How has Mick? 610 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 2: I haven't spoken to Mick. I've spoken to a couple 611 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 2: of others, but I's just spoken to Mick a few times. 612 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: How'd you find Mick? 613 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 4: He's incredible And again his insights and his expertise on 614 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,399 Speaker 4: looking at the case and pointing me in the right 615 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 4: direction as to what I should focus on and why 616 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 4: he thinks it's important. And just again his time is 617 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 4: always available when I ring him up because I've got 618 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 4: a query about something and he just has intimate knowledge 619 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 4: of the case and what he believes may have happened. 620 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 4: And yeah, and who we should be focusing on as well, 621 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 4: he has some insights about that from my perspective as 622 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 4: a journalist. 623 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 3: Great, So happy to have him on board. 624 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,319 Speaker 1: Well, you you're putting together a good team and all 625 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,880 Speaker 1: the different skill sets and expertise that you've bought brought 626 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: together the inquest. When when the inquest was finalized, what 627 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 1: did the coroner come back with? What? 628 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 2: Finding persons unknown? 629 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: How did that make you feel? 630 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:24,680 Speaker 5: I wasn't surprised by that point. 631 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, did you go to the inquest with expectations. 632 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:30,120 Speaker 5: That this one? 633 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 2: I was hopeful, but you know, we'd been not let 634 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,880 Speaker 2: down by anyone in particular. We've been let down a 635 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 2: lot over the years, So we were hopeful, but not confident. 636 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 1: Now and correct me if if I'm wrong, And if 637 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: I'm wrong here will probably have to delete this. But 638 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: I think I read in the media that there were 639 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,879 Speaker 1: nine persons of interest identified at the inquest, that two 640 00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 1: were not required to give evidence. I think at too, 641 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 1: it might have been more were not required to give 642 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 1: evidence because the coroner thought that's not going to take 643 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 1: the matter any further. The others got in some in 644 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: the evidence that they provided, it was clear that they 645 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 1: had alibis or it was exculplatory. There was one person 646 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:22,000 Speaker 1: of interest that couldn't be eliminated. Are we touching on 647 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,480 Speaker 1: dangerous grounds here or is that where we're that's where 648 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:30,759 Speaker 1: we're up to. Okay. And that person, and my understanding, 649 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:35,879 Speaker 1: was someone that Rachelle worked with. We want to talk 650 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:36,359 Speaker 1: about that. 651 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, he was her boss. His name is Kevin Carrell. 652 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,919 Speaker 2: And yeah, he sort of took her under his wing 653 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:52,240 Speaker 2: and showed at the ropes of selling his cars. And 654 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 2: he was the one that allowed her to take cars home. 655 00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,160 Speaker 2: They had a really good relationship. It was a bit 656 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:02,239 Speaker 2: of a mentor mentee relationship ship from Rochelle's perspective. Yep, 657 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 2: she really looked up to him. Yeah, they got along 658 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 2: really well. But she got along with everyone though. 659 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: What she was twenty three? How how old was he? 660 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,320 Speaker 4: He would have been in his forties Yeah, early forties, 661 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 4: maybe forty three from memory. 662 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:23,680 Speaker 1: Okay, So he was her boss. And does that bring 663 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,359 Speaker 1: it back to the car that she was excited about 664 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:33,000 Speaker 1: on the day. Forget the what's the talkie or what's well? 665 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:38,759 Speaker 1: Not well, sorry, no walkie talking? Okay, walky? You think 666 00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 1: that was that he had said that she could have 667 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,799 Speaker 1: that car that weekend. Okay. And this was all heard 668 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,880 Speaker 1: at the inquest. It was did I again correct me 669 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. But one of the part of the 670 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:56,280 Speaker 1: podcasts I listened to that one of Rochelle's friends said 671 00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:59,799 Speaker 1: that she couldn't talk in front of him about going 672 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:00,920 Speaker 1: out on a girl's weekend. 673 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, she didn't want to, didn't want to annoy him. 674 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:10,240 Speaker 4: More secretive about her private life. Yeah, And Damien Luhne 675 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 4: has some insights about that. He says, well, that's a 676 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:18,719 Speaker 4: red flag because why would someone why would a twenty 677 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 4: three year old woman be so afraid to share her 678 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:27,279 Speaker 4: personal life with someone that she trusted and someone that. 679 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 3: She worked with. 680 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 4: So there's another person that works there as well, Fiona, 681 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,480 Speaker 4: her friend, and she gives insights as well about that 682 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,160 Speaker 4: time in Michelle's life and her relationship with her, and 683 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 4: she just sort of calls it. 684 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 3: Out that it was a little bit odd, bit strange. 685 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 2: Odd that he wanted to know about her. 686 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 4: He was very obsessed with her life and knowing about 687 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 4: her personal life. But then at the same time, this 688 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,960 Speaker 4: particular trip to Queensland, he wasn't happy about that. And 689 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 4: she was going to meet a young man in Queensland 690 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 4: that she'd met over the internet, and the internet was 691 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,520 Speaker 4: only just emerging in two thousand and one, so it 692 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,440 Speaker 4: was a bit of a new thing. So Fiona and 693 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,759 Speaker 4: her went to Queensland on this girl's trip, but it 694 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 4: didn't go down well with Kevin and Fiona. And the 695 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 4: feelings around that are that he possibly fancied her and 696 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,440 Speaker 4: he had a bit of a thing for her. He 697 00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,440 Speaker 4: played favorites with her, gave her lots of benefits in 698 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,359 Speaker 4: terms of cars and her access to the cars, and 699 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:33,799 Speaker 4: that's how you describe it. 700 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:38,920 Speaker 2: He remember her telling me, oh, Kevin used to be 701 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 2: a detective, that they were. That was the sort of 702 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,759 Speaker 2: the stories that he would tell her. And he wasn't 703 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:51,200 Speaker 2: a detective. It was Yeah, he was talking himself up 704 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:55,320 Speaker 2: to this young pretty girl and she believed him because 705 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:56,840 Speaker 2: she respected him. 706 00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, somewhere the twenty three year old working in 707 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:04,400 Speaker 1: an environment, you shouldn't be concerned about what her personal 708 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,760 Speaker 1: life is, and that is a concern. 709 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, And there were reports from his girlfriend at the 710 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 2: time that he would make comments about about Rachelle and 711 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,240 Speaker 2: he'd be disappointed in her behavior, like her personal behavior 712 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 2: and things that were uncharacteristic of a boss. 713 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 1: And this all came out at the inquest. 714 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:28,840 Speaker 4: Yes, he made comments about her wearing makeup, described her 715 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:35,279 Speaker 4: as a tart on one occasion, so spoke really negatively 716 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 4: about her, and there was almost like this marked shift 717 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,319 Speaker 4: in his behavior and his thoughts and feelings towards her. 718 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 4: So it makes me wonder as a journalist, did she 719 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:47,359 Speaker 4: reject him? 720 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:49,439 Speaker 3: Was there any kind of. 721 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 4: You suggestion that they were going to he wanted more 722 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:57,400 Speaker 4: from her and she rejected him, And maybe then that 723 00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 4: has escalated over time. 724 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: Well, these are all the questions ideally that would be 725 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,719 Speaker 1: asked and answered at the inquest. Was he called to 726 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:11,640 Speaker 1: give evidence at the inquest? And how did that play out? 727 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:17,399 Speaker 4: He did give evidence at the inquest, but there were 728 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:21,279 Speaker 4: many questions he didn't answer because he executed his right 729 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:26,840 Speaker 4: to silence, executed his right to refuse to answer questions 730 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:29,839 Speaker 4: on the grounds that it may incriminate him, which is 731 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,600 Speaker 4: his legal right. And he was legally represented at the inquest, 732 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 4: so there was a lot of legal arguments about what 733 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,720 Speaker 4: was asked of him, what he was prepared to answer. 734 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:44,239 Speaker 1: You're quite right, that is his legal right that he 735 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,840 Speaker 1: doesn't have to answer a question on the grounds that 736 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:50,359 Speaker 1: may incriminate him. And I've seen people time and time 737 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:56,799 Speaker 1: again getting the witness box and take that protection. Sometimes 738 00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 1: it's for something that's not related to what the inquest 739 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 1: is about. Sometimes it could be that was making a 740 00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: joint that night. 741 00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 2: And that could be that could have been the case 742 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 2: because there were other issues happening at Camden Holden at 743 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,640 Speaker 2: the time, that that could be the reason why he 744 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:13,200 Speaker 2: didn't want to incriminate himself. 745 00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:23,080 Speaker 1: Okay, I always look opportunity madeive capability and opportunity falls 746 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 1: in the factor of alibi evidence. Was there any alibi 747 00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:30,279 Speaker 1: evidence that he presented that I was at home or 748 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 1: I was in the state on the day she disappeared? 749 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 1: Was any alibi evidence presented? 750 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,839 Speaker 2: Yes, but it was you know, no one saw him, right, 751 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 2: so he presented and actually see anyone in his alibi, 752 00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,720 Speaker 2: so there was no one to corporate what he were saying. 753 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:50,280 Speaker 4: He presented a very involved alibi that involved going shopping, 754 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,719 Speaker 4: going to a service station, go into a pub, briefly 755 00:42:55,880 --> 00:43:02,040 Speaker 4: going to a takeaway food store, even mentioned going to 756 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 4: his girlfriend's house, but she wasn't home. 757 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:05,480 Speaker 3: At one stage. 758 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 4: He said he's driven past Campden Holden and has seen 759 00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,600 Speaker 4: the cleaner and has had a really brief conversation with 760 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:15,600 Speaker 4: the cleaner and all the people that he came into 761 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 4: contact with that night that he says, police can't verify it, 762 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,239 Speaker 4: and the cleaner even gave evidence at the inquest and said, 763 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,359 Speaker 4: I have no memory of anyone pulling me up that night, 764 00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:31,440 Speaker 4: and he was interviewed pretty soon after Kevin was interviewed 765 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,840 Speaker 4: about his movements on the seventh of June two. 766 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 3: Thousand and one. 767 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 4: So his alibi can't be proven and it can't be disproven. 768 00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,440 Speaker 4: So that's always been the difficulty about this investigation as well, 769 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,799 Speaker 4: because there were so many persons of interest and so 770 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,799 Speaker 4: many people in her Rochelle's life that had to be 771 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:56,560 Speaker 4: looked at, and for whatever reason, they didn't manage to 772 00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:58,880 Speaker 4: prove or disprove Kevin's alibi. 773 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,759 Speaker 3: We don't know whether so that's what he did that. 774 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,319 Speaker 1: Night, left hanging. I think I should point out at 775 00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 1: this stage that Kevin Carrell has strenuously denied any involvement 776 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 1: in the murder of Rachelle Childs. Yes, that's true, and 777 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,880 Speaker 1: he's consistently maintained that position. 778 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,680 Speaker 4: He has and he's always cooperated with police as well, 779 00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:25,080 Speaker 4: and has volunteered his time to participate in interviews with detectives 780 00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:26,320 Speaker 4: about Rochelle's murder. 781 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 3: And he's always denied any involvement. 782 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,920 Speaker 1: There was a couple of other lines of lines of inquiry. 783 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,759 Speaker 1: I think that was there was someone that Rachelle saw 784 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,560 Speaker 1: the night before and his petrol can was found in 785 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:42,760 Speaker 1: the Oh. 786 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:46,919 Speaker 2: That's the next door name, right, Yeah, yeah, they did 787 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:48,400 Speaker 2: clear him, I understand. 788 00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:49,200 Speaker 5: Yeah. 789 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:53,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, So okay, we've had the had the inquest and 790 00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,600 Speaker 1: what you was adding again to two thousand and eight? Eight? 791 00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,799 Speaker 3: Okay, two thousand and eight, the findings were handed down. 792 00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:05,680 Speaker 1: All right, so you're the family, there's been an investigation, 793 00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:08,360 Speaker 1: You've got no result. There's been a change of teams 794 00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:12,560 Speaker 1: running the investigation. It's gone to inquest. Looks like it's 795 00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:16,600 Speaker 1: been prepared and the police have done their best currying 796 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:21,560 Speaker 1: the hands down their findings, and still none the wiser. 797 00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:25,400 Speaker 1: What's the next time you were contacted by police or 798 00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,560 Speaker 1: what's the next thing, because if we're talking two thousand 799 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 1: and eight, this is a long time ago. 800 00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:32,399 Speaker 2: What they doubled the reward in twenty eleven, okay, from 801 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,360 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand. 802 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,360 Speaker 1: Was that your initiation or no? 803 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:40,440 Speaker 2: I can't remember why they did that. Yeah, and then nothing. 804 00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,680 Speaker 4: So probably difficult as well, just to be fair because 805 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:45,960 Speaker 4: as you say, your dad was. 806 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,680 Speaker 5: The main point of contact. 807 00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, point of contact, So yeah, they could have been. 808 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,359 Speaker 4: There could have been. It's it's hard to say whether 809 00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:57,040 Speaker 4: there was, you know, unless because I know that you 810 00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 4: say that you don't have a good memory of it. 811 00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,600 Speaker 4: So it's it's sort of hard to say whether or 812 00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:05,720 Speaker 4: not Graham was speaking to how often Graham was speaking 813 00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,400 Speaker 4: to police, and what was what was happening between them, 814 00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:10,960 Speaker 4: such with Christian Olivris. 815 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, he would have been unsolved homicide Christian, Yeah. 816 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,160 Speaker 2: But nothing substantial happened. 817 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 1: Right right, Okay, so looking at this way, but that. 818 00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:24,920 Speaker 3: Was twenty and eleven when that. 819 00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,200 Speaker 1: Reward reward increased. 820 00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,600 Speaker 4: We're in twenty twenty five and it's still at two 821 00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,280 Speaker 4: hundred thousand dollars, which isn't a huge amount of money 822 00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,680 Speaker 4: if it's going to change somebody's life to come forward 823 00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,200 Speaker 4: with critical information, and. 824 00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:40,680 Speaker 1: Rewards don't get paid a lot of the time, So 825 00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:44,279 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, and quite often families would come to 826 00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,760 Speaker 1: me because I was involved in the first million dollar 827 00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,800 Speaker 1: award with Willim Tyrrel and that was after a discussion 828 00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 1: with a politician and then the me and dollar award 829 00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:56,200 Speaker 1: came out and then I got in not inundated, but 830 00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:00,960 Speaker 1: contacted by other families saying, well, if why is that 831 00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,279 Speaker 1: case worth a million dollars and why he is ours 832 00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty thousand, and that I think there 833 00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:10,440 Speaker 1: could be rewards a tactical thing. You've got to use 834 00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:14,439 Speaker 1: them at the right time for the right reason. But yeah, 835 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,120 Speaker 1: when we're looking at two hundred thousand dollars, it's not 836 00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:20,120 Speaker 1: life changing now, but a million dollars perhaps, you know, 837 00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 1: that might might push push someone to come forward. That 838 00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,200 Speaker 1: if they did know the person that was going to 839 00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,280 Speaker 1: change their life or their life was going to be disrupted, 840 00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:33,160 Speaker 1: that might motivate them. But the point I'm trying to 841 00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:38,000 Speaker 1: get to here is two thousand and eight inquests, Okay, 842 00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:42,160 Speaker 1: well we've got no answers. Twenty eleven, Okay, the reward 843 00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,600 Speaker 1: has been an increase. That's good. There's a bit of attention. 844 00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 1: We're now two thousand and twenty five, we're talking about this, 845 00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:53,320 Speaker 1: and I'm sure the police are looking at this because 846 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,560 Speaker 1: of the podcast. What do you think would have happened 847 00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:57,880 Speaker 1: if you didn't do the podcast? 848 00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:06,000 Speaker 2: Can't swear, but nothing. I contacted the police in twenty 849 00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:11,400 Speaker 2: unsolved in twenty twenty one and I was emailing a 850 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,920 Speaker 2: man named Stuart at the time, and he said that 851 00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,279 Speaker 2: they were assessing Rochelle's case to see if they'll do 852 00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:20,600 Speaker 2: a review, and so I gave him. He said, give 853 00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:24,360 Speaker 2: me a month. I gave him three months and emailed 854 00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,600 Speaker 2: him and I just never heard back from him. Then 855 00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:31,560 Speaker 2: when I spoke to Nigel Warren last year, he said, well, 856 00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:36,880 Speaker 2: at that point in time, Stuart actually retired. So then 857 00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,560 Speaker 2: I said, okay, well what happened with it? And he said, well, 858 00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,480 Speaker 2: we can't find an assessment. We don't know what happened. 859 00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,279 Speaker 2: So I said to him, are you telling me that 860 00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,000 Speaker 2: I was lied to? And he said no, I don't 861 00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:49,719 Speaker 2: know if you were lied to or not. You said, 862 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,520 Speaker 2: I don't think so, So I said, okay, well, when 863 00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,839 Speaker 2: when's the next assessment of her case? And he said 864 00:48:57,120 --> 00:49:01,200 Speaker 2: it'll be this year, which was last year. And then 865 00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:04,399 Speaker 2: when I spoke to Matthew Russell, they were focusing their 866 00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:08,320 Speaker 2: efforts on older cases at the time, so they weren't 867 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,879 Speaker 2: actually doing an assessment of Rochelle's case and they said, 868 00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 2: you know, and I said, so, don't hold my breath 869 00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:13,600 Speaker 2: and he said. 870 00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:16,200 Speaker 5: No, don't want to breath right, right, So. 871 00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:23,600 Speaker 2: But but then now they are so miracle squeak you will. 872 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:25,280 Speaker 1: This is a squeaky will. 873 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,360 Speaker 2: But I'm happy about that. I'm thrilled that they're doing that, 874 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,320 Speaker 2: and I'm not. I know I sound critical, but it's 875 00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,200 Speaker 2: I know that they've only got, as I said, a 876 00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:37,040 Speaker 2: finite number of resources, and they've got to make those 877 00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,920 Speaker 2: decisions which are really hard. And I'm the family, so 878 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,960 Speaker 2: I obviously want it for Rochelle. But there's eight hundred 879 00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:44,040 Speaker 2: unsolved cases. 880 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:49,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but also you have the right to, yeah, 881 00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:56,000 Speaker 1: ask and I'm confident for you. And I'm saying this, 882 00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,319 Speaker 1: I'm looking you in the eye here that the fact 883 00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,920 Speaker 1: that you got Nigel you're talking to. No, he wouldn't 884 00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:05,080 Speaker 1: bullshit to you, like I'd say it up front. I 885 00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:07,040 Speaker 1: know the way he operates and I know the person 886 00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,120 Speaker 1: he is, so it's a good person looking at it. 887 00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:14,560 Speaker 1: I think it's sad that you need to do that 888 00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,680 Speaker 1: squeaky will to get people to look at it. People 889 00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,840 Speaker 1: put faith in the fact that their brief is that 890 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,520 Speaker 1: unsolved homicide, and for years I cringe when I heard 891 00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:27,280 Speaker 1: coroners say, look, we don't know what's happened, but rest assured. 892 00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,839 Speaker 1: We're referring this matter to unsolved homicide, and there's been 893 00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:33,240 Speaker 1: a lot of coverage in the media about the failings 894 00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:36,360 Speaker 1: of the unsolved homicide where cases weren't being reviewed and 895 00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:40,239 Speaker 1: cases weren't being followed up. So, yeah, you're doing all 896 00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:43,280 Speaker 1: that you can to get attention on your sister's murder. 897 00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:46,799 Speaker 2: I think it's a reflection of how underresource they are too. Yeah, 898 00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,839 Speaker 2: can't expect them to work miracles. 899 00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:55,960 Speaker 1: No, no, but it's someone's life's been taken. You expect 900 00:50:55,960 --> 00:51:01,879 Speaker 1: things to be done properly. Where to from there? 901 00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,919 Speaker 2: We need people to come forward. We're hoping that, as 902 00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 2: Damien Luhn has said in his interviews, we're hoping that 903 00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 2: the relationships that existed back then that may have prevented 904 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:21,120 Speaker 2: people from coming forward now don't exist. And now that 905 00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:25,919 Speaker 2: people are you know, have another twenty years on them, 906 00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:28,880 Speaker 2: and they're more mature and they understand the gravity of 907 00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:33,719 Speaker 2: keeping silent, that they will come forward. And we want 908 00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:35,840 Speaker 2: them to know that we're not going to whacky with 909 00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,400 Speaker 2: a stick for not coming forward earlier. We're going to 910 00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:40,319 Speaker 2: welcome you with open arms and we want you to 911 00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:41,160 Speaker 2: come and talk to us. 912 00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:45,799 Speaker 1: That's good, good message. To put out. Yeah, and I 913 00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:49,920 Speaker 1: think quite quite reasonable. But just congratulations on the podcast 914 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,480 Speaker 1: and I've enjoyed the listen. It really takes you deep 915 00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:57,600 Speaker 1: inside what happened. If people want to listen to the podcast, 916 00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 1: how do they listen to Dear Rochelle. 917 00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,000 Speaker 4: Well, they can go to the website www dot Dear 918 00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:07,000 Speaker 4: Rochelle dot com dot au and if you subscribe to 919 00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:11,319 Speaker 4: News Corp Australia Mastheads, you get early access to episodes, 920 00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:14,120 Speaker 4: so we encourage people to do that if they want 921 00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,920 Speaker 4: to listen, and you can follow all the news and 922 00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,640 Speaker 4: the breaking news through that website and also through your 923 00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:20,840 Speaker 4: News Corp mastheads. 924 00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:25,040 Speaker 1: I wish you guys all the best in getting the 925 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:29,360 Speaker 1: result to this.

It's definitely definitely solvable.
