This podcast series is brought to 3 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 1: you by Me Headley Thomas and The Australian. You heard 4 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,480 Speaker 1: John Winfield's voice actor say in the previous episode. 5 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 2: I mean she wasn't hostile or anything like that. 6 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 1: John was responding to a question from Detective Sergeant Glenn 7 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: Taylor about Bromwin's attitude towards John when he turned up 8 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: at Sandstone Crescent. That's set out on page thirty six 9 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: of the official interview transcript from that morning in early 10 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 1: August nineteen ninety eight, as John sat in the police 11 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 1: station in Ballina with detectives Taylor and Wayne Temby asking questions. 12 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: There are forty pages of transcript from that interview left 13 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:24,279 Speaker 1: to analyze. Some of the most important references are coming 14 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: up now. Back in episode five of the Bromwin podcast series, 15 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: Maddie Walsh and I talked about the importance of timelines. 16 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: Timelines are so important, definitely in cases like this. They 17 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: help us understand what's going on. YEA, who said, what when, 18 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: what happened? As you go through it, it'll become more 19 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: and more detail. I remember talking to us to a 20 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: great criminal lawyer, and he said, timelines win cases. But 21 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: until I had time to look more closely at the 22 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: transfer script of the police interview for the previous episode 23 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: and this one, neither Maddie nor I realized that there 24 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: was something very wrong in a particular part of John's story. 25 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: Let's start unpacking this. Here's John's next response on page 26 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: thirty six of the transcript. Remember he's describing being at 27 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: the house in Sandstone Crescent on Sunday night. 28 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: And then that was when sometime I'm trying to think 29 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,839 Speaker 2: that was probably it was after seven o'clock. It might 30 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 2: have been even after eight o'clock by that time. I 31 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 2: can't remember, honestly. All I know is it was dark. 32 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 2: You know, it was probably at least an hour or 33 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 2: maybe an hour and a half after the plane landed, 34 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 2: whatever time that was. And that was dark, because I 35 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,239 Speaker 2: remember I got off the plane in the dark. 36 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,119 Speaker 3: It was two phone calls, mate, Yeah, apparently one at 37 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 3: six fifty three pm and one at seven oh six. 38 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:10,839 Speaker 1: Pm, six fifty three seven. Yeah. Do you know did 39 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: you make any phone Cooks? 40 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 2: No, I didn't make Apparently she made a couple of 41 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 2: calls to Graham told me she had a solicitor, Yes, 42 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 2: another solicitor she had in Lismore, the guy that used 43 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 2: to be on the radio all the time, you know, 44 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 2: legal advice on a Thursday. 45 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: John is referring here to Chris mcdebitt. Christopher. 46 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's him. Yeah, yeah, she had him actually, and 47 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 2: she had his home phone number. And this is what 48 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 2: Graham said, apparently because Graham looked on her telephone accounts 49 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: afterwards and he told me the phone calls were made 50 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 2: to his place, his house. 51 00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 3: Detective Tempi, can you just assist in relation to the identity. 52 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: Of those chief phone numbers? First one was I think 53 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: that's Jody's Is it? Five? Two one, three to one? 54 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: Wayne Temby read out a seven digit telephone number, which 55 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: we will not repeat in full in the episode. John 56 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: Winfield replied to the detective Senior Constable's question like this. 57 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is. Yeah. 58 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: It is interesting that in his first response to Glen 59 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: Taylor's question, John says that he did not make any calls, 60 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: but then Glen Taylor asked Detective Temb during the interview 61 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: with John to help in relation to the two calls 62 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: in question, as these two calls were long distance or 63 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: STD the abbreviation for subscriber trunk dialing. They were noted 64 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: in detail on the paper telephone bill for Sandstone Crescent 65 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: for the month of May nineteen ninety three. The time 66 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: the phone calls were made, the duration of the calls, 67 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: and the numbers dialed are printed on that telephone bill, 68 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: which the detectives had in the interview room when they 69 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: were questioning John. This itemized telephone bill and copies of 70 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: it are still in existence. We've got a copy of 71 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: it in our files on the case. 72 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 2: Oh I see, yeah, I rang that one, yeah, to 73 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 2: tell Jody I was at home. Yeah, that's right, Yeah, yeah, 74 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 2: I remember that's six fifty three. Okay, that's seven o'clock. Yeah, 75 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:34,679 Speaker 2: so that was Jody. 76 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. 77 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 2: I rang Jody and said, okay, I'm back home now, 78 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 2: you know, because I sort of come up now. I 79 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,359 Speaker 2: remember that's Jody and my brother the one at seven 80 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 2: oh six. Yes, my brother, yep, I rang my brother too. Yes, 81 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 2: that's my brother's number. Yeah, I forgot about that. 82 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, So there was no no SHD calls, which Bromwin 83 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 3: may Well, I don't know. 84 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember that's Jadie and my brother. Well, I 85 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 2: rang them to say I'd arrived home safely, you know. Yeah, Yeah, 86 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 2: I forgot about that. 87 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 3: Your brother's name's Peter, is it, Yeah, Peter Winfield. 88 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 89 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: Is Peter still living in Sydney? 90 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, anger Den. 91 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 3: Okay, so you've made they've TIFA calls and then you're 92 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 3: still sitting around the dining room with the children. 93 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. I can't remember what was bronwin doing. 94 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 4: Well. 95 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: I made the phone calls from the telephone in the kitchen. 96 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 2: There's another telephone in the main bedroom, and she went 97 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 2: into the main bedroom and made these ones apparently too. Apparently, 98 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 2: I don't know. I wasn't in the bedroom with her. 99 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 2: I don't know. I didn't know, But all I know 100 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 2: is that she went in the bedroom and that it 101 00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 2: was Graham. That was Graham told me that where the 102 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 2: phone calls were going. Because I was surprised when he 103 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 2: told me, because I didn't know you could trace local 104 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 2: phone calls and I had no idea you could do it. 105 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 2: And then he told me you could, and he did it. 106 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 5: You know. 107 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: But there are some loocians and concerning discrepancies in all 108 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: of this, and they cry out for further investigation. They 109 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: could be really important in this case. For reasons that 110 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 1: will soon become obvious. These loose eians became obvious to 111 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: me while I was reading documents during the drafting of 112 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: this episode. As a result, I've been emailing and calling 113 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: former and current airline pilots, aviation regulators, even collectors of 114 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: old airline timetables. I have been helped enormously by some 115 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: very clever listeners who went into full private detective mode 116 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: to help me find the answers. We have been trying 117 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: to confirm the arrival time in Balliner on May sixteen, 118 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three of the flight which John Winfield bordered 119 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: in Sydney earlier that day. It was a seventy to 120 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: eighty minute flight. The airline Anset Australia, which collapsed several 121 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: years later, flew the route for several days. I was 122 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: tantalizingly close because of the discovery of an ANSET timetable 123 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: for the months of September nineteen ninety two to March 124 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: of nineteen ninety three. That timetable sets out all the 125 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: ANSET flights and their departure times for the hop from 126 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: Sydney to Balliner. But I didn't have the May nineteen 127 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: ninety three timetable. We were close no cigar. Here's why 128 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: it might be crucial in this podcast series. You have 129 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: heard me say that John Winfield called his daughter Jody 130 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 1: and his brother Peter at six point fifty three pm 131 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: and seven h six pm respectively, from the house at 132 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: Sandstone Crescent on May sixteen when he arrived at the house, 133 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: and it seemed uncontroversial. John Winfield confirmed this as you've 134 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: just heard in his interview with Glenn Taylor in nineteen 135 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: ninety eight. There just didn't appear to be anything unusual 136 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: about it. But while going through John's interview transcript, it 137 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 1: struck me that the timing appeared to make it very difficult, 138 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: if not impossible, for John to have made those calls. 139 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: Here's what his friend John Watson stated in his police 140 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: statement in nineteen ninety eight. 141 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 5: John was wringing me from Sydney and he asked me 142 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 5: if I could pick him up from the Ballina Airport 143 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 5: and give him a lift home. That night, about six 144 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 5: thirty pm, I went to the airport and I met John. 145 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 5: He asked me if I could take him to the 146 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 5: Ballener Police station prior. 147 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: To taking him home. 148 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 5: I drove him to the police station, and I waited 149 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 5: in the car while he went in. He was in 150 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 5: the police station for about five minutes. 151 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: We do not know the time at which John Watson 152 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: drove away from Balliner Airport with John Winfield, but if 153 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: the pickup went smoothly despite all of John's gear and 154 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: his surfboard, and if the flight landed around six twenty 155 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: five pm, let's say they got away at six forty pm. 156 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 1: It takes a good ten minutes or so to get 157 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: from the airport to Balloner Police station, but let's say 158 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: they do it very quickly, in just seven minutes. Glenn 159 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: Taylor was told by John Winfield that he was in 160 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: the police station for about fifteen minutes. John Watson, in 161 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 1: his police statement estimated that he was waiting in his 162 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: car outside the police station for about five minutes. Let's 163 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 1: be generous and go with the five minute estimate. That 164 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: means it would have been after six point fifty pm 165 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: when John Winfield is the passenger in John Watson's car 166 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: driving away from Barner Police Station to pick up Becky 167 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: McGuire from her home in Lenox Head. John Watson said 168 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: they drove to either Gibbons Street or Stuart Street in 169 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: lenox Head to collect Becky. It doesn't make much difference 170 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: because both of those streets, just a few blocks northwest 171 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: of the retail strip in Lenox Head are about the 172 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: same distance from Barner Police Station. I've done the trip 173 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: many times now. It's a good fifteen minutes. The two 174 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: men and the young woman say they then drove to 175 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: Sandstone Crescent together and that's going to take seven minutes minimum. 176 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: The upshot is this, if the Ansett Australia jet landed 177 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 1: just before six thirty pm, and John then wore off 178 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: and very quickly collected his luggage and surfboard, then went 179 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 1: directly to the police station and then to lennox Head 180 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: to get Becky. The earliest that they could have arrived 181 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: at his house in Sandstone Crescent would have been about 182 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: seven point fifteen pm, the house which bronwin had moved 183 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: back into with the two girls on the Friday night 184 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: after asking a locksmith to come out to remove the 185 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 1: locks which John had put on to try to prevent 186 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: his estranged wife from getting back inside the house. But 187 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: that's not all, because the evidence of Becky is that 188 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: John Winfield then drove her in the family Ford Falcon 189 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: back to Becky's home in Lennox Head John Watson had left. 190 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 6: John Watson drove away. We walked up to the front 191 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 6: of the house and John knocked on the door. The 192 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 6: door opened and Bronwin and the children were standing at 193 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 6: the door. I wasn't really paying much attention at the time, 194 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 6: but I recall Bronwyn babbling on about something, but they 195 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 6: weren't arguing. Bronwin walked back into the house towards the kitchen, 196 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 6: and John gave the girls a cuddle, and I saw 197 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 6: that Lauren was crying. I saw two suitcases inside the doorway, 198 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 6: and John picked them up and put them in the car. 199 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 6: John must have had a set of keys to the car, 200 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 6: because we then got into the car and he drove 201 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 6: me home. I remember both Crystal and Lauren were standing 202 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 6: at the window inside the house, watching as we reversed 203 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 6: out of the driveway. John didn't go inside the house 204 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 6: at all while I was in the house with him. 205 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,839 Speaker 6: While we were driving back to my house, John thanked 206 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 6: me for coming with him and told me he was 207 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 6: sorry for getting me involved. I haven't seen Bronwin since 208 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 6: that night I went to her place with John. 209 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: John Winfield then must have returned on his own to 210 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: go to the home in Sandstone Crescent. It's got to 211 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: be about seven thirty pm before he gets there, and 212 00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: that's if the plane landed at about six thirty pm. 213 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 7: My name is Karina Berger. 214 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: Three months before the release of this episode, a listener 215 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: emailed we were in Ireland on leave at the time. 216 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 7: I'm contacting you to offer my assistance with legal research, analysis, etc. 217 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 7: For Bronwan or any other podcasts you might have in 218 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 7: the pipeline. I love true crime and working to solve 219 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 7: a problem or mystery. I also find undertaking work that 220 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 7: is in the public interest very rewarding. Some of my 221 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 7: particular strengths are my attention to detail, communication and organization 222 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 7: and project management SKI and my ability to recall information 223 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 7: and facts. If you ever require another pair of hands 224 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 7: and think my skill set might be beneficial, I would 225 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 7: be very happy to hear from you. 226 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: Karina is an experienced lawyer with a particular interest in 227 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: coronial inquest work, and she has worked on many coronial 228 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: investigations and inquests over the years. She was following the 229 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: Bromwin podcast very closely. We started exchanging emails around the 230 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: same time offers of help from other women with proven 231 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: experience in investigations in the criminal justice system were coming in. 232 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: Some have preferred anonymity. They're all amazing and very generous 233 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: with their time. Three days after I first became suspicious 234 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: about those calls from the house, I raised it with 235 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: Karna over a Greek salad in Brisbane. The timing was good. 236 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: She was visiting from interstate with her husband for his work. 237 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 1: Karina flew home late that afternoon and she resolved to 238 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: start looking for a thirty one year old timetable which 239 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: might show when a long defunct airline used to fly 240 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: to the airport of a regional town in New South 241 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 1: Wales on Sundays in May nineteen ninety three. My other 242 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 1: contacts from the podcast listenership were also on the job 243 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:26,440 Speaker 1: trying to locate this key information. In northern New South Wales, 244 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: my friend and colleague Matt Condon called. We spoke about 245 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: the driving that he would do while retracing where John 246 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: would have gone thirty one years ago. After the anset 247 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: jet landed. Then Matt rang off, turned on his voice 248 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: recorder and got ready to roll. 249 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 5: This is the side of obviously the old Byron Ballina 250 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,479 Speaker 5: Regional airport. I remember getting. 251 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 8: Flights to and from Sydney into here. 252 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 5: It hasn't changed that much that we're here now to 253 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 5: follow John Winfield's timeline and we'll. 254 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 8: Just see how the templates marry up. 255 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 5: Okay, just leaving the airport and out, traffic conditions are 256 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 5: pretty light. Simple direct route from the airport down to 257 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 5: the police station, past the Ballona Bayside and Ballon Affair 258 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 5: shopping centers, straight down to River Street and hang a left. 259 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: We're at over. 260 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 5: Five minutes at the moment, so I've arrived at the 261 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 5: Ballina Police station on River Street at twelve minutes and 262 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 5: eleven seconds. Winfield claims that he was brought here by 263 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 5: mister Watson and went into the station to check if 264 00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 5: there were any legal restraints against him as in Bronwyn, 265 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 5: placing possibly domestic violence restrictions on his proximity to her. Okay, 266 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 5: that's exactly five minutes. I'm now leaving the police station 267 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 5: and heading towards the Ocean Road, which will head up 268 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 5: to Lenox. 269 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: Seventeen minutes eleven seconds. 270 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 5: There's a sort of little backway here to get onto 271 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 5: that which the locals would know, and it would be 272 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 5: a logical way through Ballinatown to get onto that coastal road. 273 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: I'm just coming through the main drag of Lenox. 274 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 5: There was a little bit of traffic, not a lot, 275 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 5: but it might have accounted for twenty or thirty seconds 276 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 5: over and above a clean run through that street. I've 277 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 5: just arrived where he picks up Jody's friend. We'll wait 278 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 5: for ninety seconds. It's thirty four minutes and fifteen seconds. 279 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 5: Just arrived outside the house at Sandstone Crescent. It was 280 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 5: forty one minutes and thirty nine seconds. 281 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 2: I'll wait now. 282 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 5: For another ninety seconds before we head back to drop 283 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 5: the young woman off and then come back to Sandstone. Right, 284 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 5: we're back at Gibbon forty nine minutes and one second. 285 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 5: We'll wait for fifteen seconds to Sandstone for the final leg. Okay, 286 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 5: just pulled up back at Sandstone Crescent in front of 287 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 5: the house. That journey from the airport took precisely fifty 288 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 5: six minutes and thirty five seconds. 289 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: Hey Matt, how'd you go? 290 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 5: I went from Ballino Airport, did all the stops, and 291 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 5: finally I've returned here back at Sandstone Crescent and giving 292 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 5: Winfield sort of two minutes at the end of the 293 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 5: journey to meet and greet his kids, etc. At the 294 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 5: door of the property which I'm parked out the front. 295 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 5: The final time came in at fifty eight minutes and 296 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 5: thirty five seconds, right. 297 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: Well, that's consistent with what John Winfield himself says in 298 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: the record of interview that he's done with Glenn Taylor 299 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety eight. So he says something like it 300 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: was about an hour to an hour and a half 301 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: after he'd arrived in Ballener that he got into the house. 302 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: So that makes sense exactly if we round it up 303 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: to one hour. He would have had to have arrived 304 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 1: in Ballaner and be getting into John Watson's car at 305 00:20:53,760 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: Banner Airport by five fifty pm on Sunday May sixteen 306 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: for him to have been able to make that first 307 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: phone call at six fifty three pm to his daughter 308 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: Jody on that same day. 309 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 8: What time did the plane land? 310 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: This is still the missing piece in this puzzle. We 311 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: know from John Watson's statement that John Watson says he 312 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 1: got to the airport at six thirty pm to collect 313 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: John Winfield. What we don't have for certain yet is 314 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: the arrival time of the aircraft from Sydney. We've got 315 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: a timetable that shows that in the months of October 316 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: to March, and said Australia had aircraft leaving at six 317 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 1: ten pm in Sydney and arriving into Ballana at seven 318 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: thirty But we don't yet have the timetable for the 319 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 1: months following the end of March, whether the timetable changed 320 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 1: for those subsequent months. You know Matt from previous episodes 321 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: in this series, as well as from his work in 322 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: other podcast investigations I've done into the murders of Australian women. 323 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 1: In a coincidental piece of voice acting symmetry. You know 324 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: Matt's voice from this episode too, because he read the 325 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: lines from the police statement of John Watson. Matt suggested 326 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: that the aircraft possibly landed in May nineteen ninety three 327 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: at around six thirty pm, not seven thirty pm. Matt 328 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: suggested that that might have happened because of daylight saving. 329 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,439 Speaker 5: If you're a boat is in New South Wales in 330 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 5: the beginning of October of any given year, I think 331 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 5: since the early nineteen seventies, so you actually on a 332 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 5: Sunday you turn your clock forward one hour at the 333 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 5: beginning of daylight saving, so in essence you're losing an hour, 334 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 5: but by going forward it gives you an extra hour 335 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 5: or so of daylight at the end of the day, 336 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 5: which is the point of daylight saving, and that is 337 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 5: for people to be able to finish work and enjoy 338 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 5: the daylight in the summer months. Come April the following year, 339 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 5: six months later, daylight saving ends in New South Wales, 340 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 5: so you have to claw back that hour and it 341 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 5: goes back to normal Eastern Standard time. The flight, as 342 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 5: we know, was in May, so daylight saving was well 343 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 5: and truly over by at least six seven weeks by then, 344 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 5: so the clocks would have gone back an hour to 345 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 5: parity with the East Coast. So if a flight in March, 346 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 5: for example, landed in Ballina at seven point thirty pm 347 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 5: during daylight saving hours beyond April outside of daylight saving hours, 348 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 5: that flight would have landed at around six thirty pm, 349 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 5: so you claw back the hour. If he'd landed at 350 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 5: six thirty, it was picked up at six thirty pm 351 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 5: and then went to the bell on the police station, 352 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 5: so seven eleven pm is the first revisit to Sandstone 353 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 5: then to go back to be able to pick up Becky. 354 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 5: He would have arrived there at seven nineteen pm. Give 355 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:36,159 Speaker 5: them ninety seconds for that, and then to swing back 356 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 5: to Sandstone, and to give him credit for a couple 357 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 5: of minutes of meeting and greeting at the door and 358 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,199 Speaker 5: getting back into the house. He would have been in 359 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 5: Sandstone Crescent after all of that journey at around about 360 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 5: seven twenty eight pm. 361 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,360 Speaker 1: Well, how does he make these telephone calls that he 362 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: said he made to Jody and to Peter at six 363 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 1: fifty three pm and then seven ozh six pm from 364 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 1: Sandstone Crescent. 365 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 5: Well, he couldn't have, because going by these specific times, 366 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 5: he wasn't in the house to make the calls. 367 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: Let's go with a hypothetical, allow for perhaps a mistaken memory. 368 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: They didn't get Becky, or he decided to go to 369 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 1: the house at Sandstone Crescent ahead of getting Becky, something 370 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,919 Speaker 1: like that. It seems from those time stamps, Matt, that 371 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: he still can't make it in time to make a 372 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 1: call at six fifty three pm, twenty three minutes after 373 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: the John Watson six thirty pm pick up at Balner Airport. No, 374 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: there's no way you know these roads, Matt. You've driven 375 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: them a lot before the Bromwin podcast, and more so 376 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: since we've been working on it together. Can you imagine 377 00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 1: being able to drive from the Ballina Police station to 378 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: Bromwin's old house in Sandstone Crescent, Lenox Head in six 379 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 1: to seven minutes. It's impossible. 380 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 5: I've done the journey from Ballina Town Center along the 381 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 5: Coast Road for innumerable reasons, kids soccer, shopping at Woolies 382 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 5: at the back of Lennox invariably in the back of 383 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 5: your head. You know, it takes on average at least 384 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 5: fifteen minutes. There's no way around that. I mean, that's 385 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 5: even with a clear run. That's just the time it takes. 386 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 5: It's as simple as that. 387 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: I don't want us to count o chickens before they've hatched. 388 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 1: But this is a really big loose end because John 389 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: was adamant in his police interview that he made those 390 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 1: telephone calls. He was initially saying he didn't make any calls, 391 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: and then when propped it, he goes, oh, yeah, that's right, 392 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: I remember now I did make those calls. 393 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 5: Neither of them correspond on the timeline to Jonathan Winfield 394 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 5: being in the house and physically able to make those calls. 395 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: If he didn't make those phone calls because he couldn't 396 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 1: have been in the house. Then I'm suggesting the only 397 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:20,360 Speaker 1: person who could have made those calls was Bromwin, and 398 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 1: I think that's consistent with Bromwin having telephoned her solicitor, 399 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: Chris mcdebott in the late afternoon because of her concern 400 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: about John's imminent return. John says that he made those 401 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: calls basically to tell his daughter and his brother that 402 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: he had arrived safely and was in the house. 403 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 5: I'm just thinking of myself and my own family, saying 404 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 5: I flew from Sydney to Ballina, which is a relatively 405 00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 5: short flight within the same state. I fail to see 406 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 5: why there would be any reason or urgency to ring 407 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 5: not one family member but two to alert them that 408 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 5: they had arrived safely an hour and twenty minute flight maximum. 409 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 5: I'm not sure what sort of peril could one could 410 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 5: encounter in a humble domestic flight from Sydney de Ballena. 411 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,600 Speaker 5: If you're flying into Delhi, or if you're flying into 412 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 5: Barcelona or London and you'd had a long haul, I 413 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 5: would totally understand that, but I simply cannot comprehend why 414 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,360 Speaker 5: someone would have to alert close family members to their 415 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 5: safety after a very short domestic flight. 416 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: It makes no sense. 417 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 5: It's just simply illogical and something most certainly that I 418 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 5: wouldn't do, and I think most people wouldn't do. 419 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: My supposition on. 420 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 5: Your theory is that I think you've nailed it, even 421 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 5: if the timeline's out by a few minutes either side. 422 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 8: I reckon she's made those. 423 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: Calls six point fifty three pm. Is the first one. 424 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 8: Six fifty three pm? 425 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 9: Yes? 426 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 8: And when's the next one? 427 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: Seven six pm? 428 00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 5: Something has prompted her to make the first call and 429 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 5: then another call twelve thirty minutes later. 430 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: If this theory is right, she brings Jody because it 431 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: was to Jody that she had her earlier conversation in 432 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: which she said, your dad had better not approach me, 433 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: or worse to that effect. If Jody and Peter have 434 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 1: no way of contacting John, what's the utility of Bromin 435 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: contacting them when John's on the way. 436 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 5: Well, she's tried the solicitor, right, Yeah, and somehow she's 437 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 5: learned he's on the way, made the call at six 438 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 5: point fifty three in a panic. 439 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 8: It's impossible he can't have made those calls. It's impossible. 440 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 1: And the only other explanation is that John Watson's claim 441 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 1: that he arrived to pick up John at six thirty 442 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: pm is wrong, and that in fact it was five 443 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: thirty pm. 444 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 5: If it was five thirty, then that may work in 445 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 5: terms of him being in the house. 446 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: He gets to the house then by six thirty bit 447 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 1: of meeting and greeting and he has a cup of 448 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,880 Speaker 1: tea and then he makes those calls. But that's the 449 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: only way. 450 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 8: That's the only way. Yes, where did you come up 451 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 8: with the five thirty time? 452 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: I've just plucked it out of the air, taken two 453 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: hours off the arrival time of seven thirty. Yeah, he 454 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: says it was dark when he landed. Now, sunset at 455 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: that time was after five shortly after five pm. Yes, 456 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: it would have had to have left Sydney at fourteen pm, 457 00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:01,239 Speaker 1: two hours earlier than the schedule. In the month of 458 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: March yeap. What would be John's potential motive to claim 459 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: that he made those two phone calls if in fact 460 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: Broman had made them. 461 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 5: We know she's on alert because she's phoned her solicitor, 462 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 5: so she's in that heightened state. If she's phoned Jody 463 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 5: and Peter Winfield. One can only imagine logically it would 464 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 5: be out of concern for her safety. 465 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: He doesn't want the police to know. 466 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:36,680 Speaker 5: Now, with the benefit of hindsight, would John Winfield have 467 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 5: worried about two things? Firstly, he's worried that there are 468 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 5: two people in the world, Jody and Peter, who know 469 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 5: that she is fearful at that moment. And secondly, his 470 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 5: consideration would be to keep them out. 471 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: Of the narrative. 472 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 5: So is this woman who's already been warned that John's 473 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 5: not going to like it that she's back at the house. 474 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 5: She's worked up enough to ring the solicitor and seek advice. 475 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 5: She anticipating his arrival and not knowing whether he might 476 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 5: be in a mood or how he might react, it 477 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 5: would be very logical for her to reach out to 478 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 5: two of the closest people to him to try and 479 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 5: work out what do I do. I'm in trouble here, Yeah, 480 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 5: that makes sense. I'll just ride out the timestamp timeline 481 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 5: for you. 482 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Matt, and I'll keep trying to 483 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 1: find the timing of that flight. Some listeners may not 484 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 1: have heard of the once massive answered Australia Airline and 485 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 1: its founder, Sir reginald Anset. Here's a promotional clip from 486 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: the early nineteen nineties. 487 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 9: It's no wonder the Answered group of Airlines flies the 488 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,719 Speaker 9: largest domestic fleet in Australasia. Our constant aim is to 489 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 9: provide you with excellence in products and service. 490 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: When this much loved airline folded in two thousand and one, 491 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: it was Australia's largest corporate collapse, with more than sixteen 492 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: thousand jobs lost. Back in Canberra, two days after I 493 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 1: had first met her, Karina Berger had a breakthrough. Karina. 494 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: When I met you at lunch in Brisbane and told 495 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: you how I was looking for timetables for Anset in 496 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety three and they were proving really elusive. You 497 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: probably didn't expect that you'd be on the chase for 498 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 1: them within a day or so. 499 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 7: I love a challenge, heed Ley, so I was happy 500 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 7: to help. 501 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: How did you find it? 502 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 7: I started off with a basic Google search. It made 503 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 7: me realize that timetables for planes and other modes of 504 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 7: transport are actually really collectible items, and there's quite a 505 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,959 Speaker 7: lot of private collectors who tend to catalog them and 506 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,320 Speaker 7: post blogs about them and take pictures of their covers 507 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 7: and things like that and pop them online. And that 508 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 7: was really helpful because I could have a look at 509 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 7: what people had put up on the Internet, and I 510 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 7: realized that there were a couple of timetables from Anset 511 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:12,880 Speaker 7: that existed in nineteen ninety three. The problem was, though, 512 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,799 Speaker 7: that these people only had pictures of the covers, and 513 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 7: they didn't seem to have photographs of the actual timetables 514 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 7: themselves or PDF copies. I reached out to Air Services 515 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 7: Australia in the hope that they might have actual flight 516 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:32,359 Speaker 7: records for the Ballina Airport on the sixteenth of May 517 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 7: nineteen ninety three, and I contacted the National Library of 518 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 7: Australia and did some searches of their online catalog. So 519 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 7: I then turned to the National Archives of Australia catalog 520 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 7: and the New South Wales State Archives catalogs and had 521 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:52,920 Speaker 7: to look there, But those searches also weren't very fruitful, 522 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 7: and so then I just went back to Google and 523 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,800 Speaker 7: started to work my way through all of the hits, 524 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 7: and I came across the Sir reginald Anset Transport Museum, 525 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 7: and then I stumbled across a hit that didn't appear 526 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 7: particularly relevant. At first blush something to do with anset buses, 527 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,480 Speaker 7: not planes, But it was in the journal of the 528 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:21,799 Speaker 7: Australian Timetable Association. It turns out that that's an organization 529 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 7: that describes itself as being for anyone interested in the 530 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 7: study of transport timetables, schedules, maps and associated literature. So 531 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 7: I decided to email the secretary of that organization and 532 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 7: then lo and behold. In less than an hour I 533 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 7: heard back from the association and they'd found what I 534 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:43,720 Speaker 7: was after. 535 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was great. I'd tried to get a timetable 536 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:54,080 Speaker 1: through a website for airline pilots and contacted a collector 537 00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 1: in North America and he had lots of timetables, but 538 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:03,439 Speaker 1: not that one. There was another really diligent listener who 539 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 1: had offered to help, and she knows who she is. 540 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,800 Speaker 1: She wants to preserve her anonymity. Around the same time 541 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 1: as you were making those inquiries, she was also talking 542 00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 1: to the museum and she was hopeful and then she 543 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: also got a positive hit. Just shows how when we 544 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 1: all collaborate, just people from home doing these searches, you 545 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 1: know what's possible. What we can see from that is 546 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 1: that there were two flights from Sydney with Anseid Airlines 547 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: on Sunday May sixteen, and the second of those flights 548 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 1: left Sydney shortly after six pm. 549 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 7: That's right, Headley. The timetable shows that a jet was 550 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 7: due to depart Sydney at six fifteen pm and arrive 551 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 7: in Ballina at seven twenty five pm on a Sunday. 552 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:59,080 Speaker 1: And we're not aware of any other operator flying aircraft 553 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 1: from Sydney to Ballaner at that time. 554 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 7: No, not at this stage. And it's actually a query 555 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 7: that I did put to the Australian Timetable Association and 556 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 7: they indicated that they checked the Quantus timetable from the 557 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,840 Speaker 7: time and had found that Ballaner wasn't a part of 558 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:23,400 Speaker 7: the Quantus network and that they didn't think that smaller 559 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:27,680 Speaker 7: airlines like East West or Hazleton had flown to Ballaner 560 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 7: from Sydney either. 561 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:35,880 Speaker 1: You've done work with Coronial inquiries over a number of years, haven't. 562 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 7: You, Yes, I have, Hedley. 563 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: Is it easy to see how this would fall through 564 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:45,360 Speaker 1: the cracks the actual time that a person of interest 565 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 1: traveled to the regional town. 566 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,880 Speaker 7: I think it's probably dependent upon the nature of the 567 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,800 Speaker 7: case and the police lines of inquiry. At the time, 568 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:02,720 Speaker 7: it would be prudent for an investigator officer to seek 569 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 7: facts to support things like in our port arrival time. 570 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 7: If a suspect or someone who may very well become 571 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,720 Speaker 7: a suspect is claiming that they arrived in a location 572 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 7: at a particular time, doing something like that at the 573 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 7: time would be much easier than doing it many years later. 574 00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:27,080 Speaker 1: We've done some on the ground checking of how long 575 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 1: it would take to travel from the airport. It's in 576 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 1: the fifty five to sixty minute range. And it's interesting 577 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 1: that in John's police interview he says that he was 578 00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:43,240 Speaker 1: in the ball and a police station for about fifteen minutes, 579 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: whereas we allowed for just five minutes when we did 580 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 1: that exercise. It seems to us that it was physically 581 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,360 Speaker 1: impossible for John to have made those telephone calls that 582 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,359 Speaker 1: at times six fifty three pm and seven h six 583 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:04,320 Speaker 1: pm on the night of Sunday, May sixteenth. Your finding 584 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 1: of that timetable now really helps to demonstrate that. Can 585 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:14,760 Speaker 1: you think of any other explanation that would have permitted 586 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,320 Speaker 1: John to have got back in time to make those calls? 587 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 7: I suppose the only explanations that seem open would be 588 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:29,719 Speaker 7: either John catching the earlier Ancet flight that was due 589 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 7: to land in Ballino at about ten past three in 590 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 7: the afternoon, but that seems unlikely. As I understand he 591 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 7: says that he arrived in the dark, and I think 592 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:43,760 Speaker 7: the sun probably set in Ballino at around about five pm. 593 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,799 Speaker 7: And the only other explanation that I can think of 594 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,359 Speaker 7: is that he traveled with a different airline carrier, and 595 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,399 Speaker 7: we haven't been able to identify such a carrier at 596 00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 7: this point in time. 597 00:39:55,320 --> 00:40:00,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, the passenger manifest would be amazing have 598 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,279 Speaker 1: Whether that's available after thirty one years, I don't know. 599 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,239 Speaker 1: I think you'd probably need a warrant for that. It's 600 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 1: probably something only the police could get, I. 601 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,880 Speaker 7: Think so, and there'd be privacy considerations as well. Another 602 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:17,640 Speaker 7: explanation that does occur to me that might allow John 603 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 7: to have made the phone calls would be if the 604 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 7: n set timetable had changed for some reason, such that 605 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 7: he did arrive in the dark in Ballina in time 606 00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,800 Speaker 7: to get home and make the calls. But we don't 607 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 7: at the moment have any information suggesting that that was 608 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 7: the case. We can't really take that any further. 609 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:44,120 Speaker 1: In terms of the timings that other people have talked about, 610 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:49,839 Speaker 1: there really aren't that many. There's nothing written down to 611 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 1: our knowledge at the police station. But you've made the 612 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,279 Speaker 1: point for to me that the duty books of the 613 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 1: officers could show when John came in to talk to 614 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 1: Sergeant Hart, who's now deceased, about whether John can approach 615 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:14,400 Speaker 1: the home. Despite the conflict with Bromwin. 616 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,319 Speaker 7: I think John to say himself that he saw a 617 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:20,480 Speaker 7: police officer write some things down whilst he was at 618 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:20,880 Speaker 7: the station. 619 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,000 Speaker 1: At one stage in his police interview he says that 620 00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:27,759 Speaker 1: it could have been around seven or eight pm that 621 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: he got to the house. Unfortunately, Becky Maguire doesn't nominate 622 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 1: a time as to when she gets picked up. Have 623 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: you read in the police interview where John's asked about 624 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:41,360 Speaker 1: phone calls? 625 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,560 Speaker 7: Yes, I have read that part. 626 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,240 Speaker 1: He originally says I didn't make any. 627 00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 7: That's right, and then he was more or less sort 628 00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,400 Speaker 7: of prompted about the phone calls and changed his story 629 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,480 Speaker 7: and said, oh, that's right, I forgot I did make 630 00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:01,359 Speaker 7: those calls. Yeah, after the phone numbers were read out 631 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:05,400 Speaker 7: to him and the persons that those numbers were allocated 632 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 7: to were confirmed. 633 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 1: Even if John hadn't driven Becky home, he still couldn't 634 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:16,720 Speaker 1: have made those two phone calls. The evidence does show 635 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,920 Speaker 1: that Bronwin knew John was coming back to Lennox Head 636 00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 1: on that Sunday evening. Karina suggested that John had phoned 637 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 1: the house at Sandstone Crescent before he departed Sydney. 638 00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,759 Speaker 7: What about the idea that he could have phoned from 639 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 7: the Sydney airport, like he said before the flight took off, 640 00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:42,160 Speaker 7: figured out that they were home, said that he was coming, 641 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:47,000 Speaker 7: and then that led to the panicked phone calls from Bronwan, 642 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 7: potentially to Jody and his relatives. 643 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense. We also have Mel Taylor, who 644 00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 1: was twelve years old at the time, and she'd been 645 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:02,920 Speaker 1: playing with Lauren and Still on that Sunday afternoon. She 646 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,759 Speaker 1: says that when Bromwin returned from work at Eden's takeaway, 647 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:12,200 Speaker 1: she said, oh, where are the girls? Can you tell 648 00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,839 Speaker 1: them they've got to come home. Their father's arriving, Their 649 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:19,360 Speaker 1: father's coming. Here's how Mel described it in episode four. 650 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,000 Speaker 10: I know I was at the park with Crystal and 651 00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:30,480 Speaker 10: Lauren that afternoon around five point thirty ish six ish. 652 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 10: I came home before the girls came home. Bromin came 653 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:38,160 Speaker 10: to that door and she's like, oh, hey, is Lauren 654 00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,040 Speaker 10: and Crystal here, and like, no, they're at the park, 655 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,680 Speaker 10: and she said to me, can you go get them 656 00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:44,000 Speaker 10: because her father's coming home. 657 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,640 Speaker 1: Is it a strong memory? Yeh, it's a strong memory. Yeah. 658 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:55,839 Speaker 1: Speaking generally, what is the significance in lies that are 659 00:43:55,880 --> 00:44:00,920 Speaker 1: told during a police investigation by a person of interest, Well. 660 00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:05,200 Speaker 7: It tends to suggest that their evidence is unreliable and 661 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:11,400 Speaker 7: can't necessarily be trusted, and that they might be looking 662 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:17,160 Speaker 7: to deflect focus on them onto somebody else, probably because 663 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,200 Speaker 7: there's a potential element of guilt there. 664 00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,760 Speaker 1: I called Andy and Michelle Reid Broman's brother and sister 665 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 1: in law, and explain the flight time issue with the 666 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 1: telephone calls. What time did you say the plane actually landed, Well, 667 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,560 Speaker 1: we can't know for certain when it landed, but what 668 00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:41,200 Speaker 1: it was scheduled to do was land at about seven 669 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 1: point thirty pm. 670 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:48,040 Speaker 11: Planes don't take off ahead of schedule, no, unless they've 671 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,600 Speaker 11: got every passenger on board. But it still would not 672 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 11: be an hour because no. 673 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 1: One, it seems when got a record of that aircraft 674 00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:04,640 Speaker 1: when it actually there's been this assumption that those phone 675 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,759 Speaker 1: calls would have just been made by John, as he asserted, 676 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,759 Speaker 1: and that everything around the flight was not that important 677 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:15,160 Speaker 1: and it just fell between the cracks under the radar, 678 00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:15,800 Speaker 1: so to speak. 679 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:22,400 Speaker 4: She was concerned, and she already rung mcdebitt to express 680 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,720 Speaker 4: concern that she'd found out he was on his way 681 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:26,520 Speaker 4: up there. 682 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:31,000 Speaker 1: Do you have a view about how Bromwin would have 683 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:37,720 Speaker 1: been responding and feeling when she knew that John's arrival 684 00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 1: was imminent. He was in the air. 685 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:44,880 Speaker 12: Well the whole time in that lead up to her 686 00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:50,239 Speaker 12: going missing, The biggest worry was him trying to take 687 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:51,320 Speaker 12: the kids. 688 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:52,480 Speaker 1: She'd have been. 689 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,760 Speaker 12: Worried about him turning up for sure, for sure, Hence 690 00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:01,840 Speaker 12: the reason she called Chris mcdebitt to get his advice advice. 691 00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,839 Speaker 4: Another thing that's quite evident in the lead up to this, 692 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 4: as she was obviously speaking of David getting legal advice, 693 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 4: advised to go back to the home, advised by us 694 00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:16,279 Speaker 4: to go back to the home, get yourself set in, 695 00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,920 Speaker 4: get away from all the financial stress. He knew exactly 696 00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:21,759 Speaker 4: what was going on. 697 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:27,480 Speaker 1: He's flown for an hour from Sydney to Ballina and 698 00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:31,279 Speaker 1: then gone back into his own home. Is that the 699 00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 1: sort of thing that John would do. Bring someone and 700 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,480 Speaker 1: say I've got off the flight and I'm at home 701 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,080 Speaker 1: now and I've arrived sakand sound. 702 00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 12: Look it doesn't sound like him to me. The Jody 703 00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,480 Speaker 12: one possibly makes sense. 704 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:51,640 Speaker 4: We need to know if Bromwin made them. What was 705 00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:57,080 Speaker 4: conversed about to Jody and to Peter or was it 706 00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:58,960 Speaker 4: Louise on the other end of the line. 707 00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:02,000 Speaker 1: We don't know. Could either at the second call. 708 00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 11: Those two people Jodie's John's daughter and the Winfield is 709 00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:10,560 Speaker 11: his brother and sister in law. 710 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:15,840 Speaker 1: Why there and not her brother? I wonder what she 711 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:16,360 Speaker 1: was doing. 712 00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:20,320 Speaker 12: Was she pleading with them to try and talk to John. 713 00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:24,880 Speaker 11: Maybe it was in the hope that his brother and 714 00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:29,319 Speaker 11: his daughter might be able to talk to him. 715 00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,920 Speaker 1: She didn't ring us. Was she trying to get some 716 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:34,720 Speaker 1: help from his family. 717 00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:39,719 Speaker 12: Maybe she thought they might have had more clout with him. 718 00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,400 Speaker 12: If she was worried about what he was doing, I 719 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:43,879 Speaker 12: don't know. 720 00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,080 Speaker 1: Well, I suppose she was worried. 721 00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:47,840 Speaker 11: She knew he was going to try and take the 722 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:50,080 Speaker 11: house back, because that was always being said. 723 00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:54,280 Speaker 4: We need to find out We told that many different people, 724 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:59,800 Speaker 4: that many different stories. If you went through everyone's statement 725 00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,520 Speaker 4: everyone's memory and all the rest of it. You wind 726 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:06,680 Speaker 4: up with a one hundred points of facts that he's 727 00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:10,680 Speaker 4: got wrong. I've started to do that. That's incredible. To 728 00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:14,160 Speaker 4: be honest. The more you go through this now with 729 00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:18,640 Speaker 4: such a fine truth can absolutely my numbing. You're a 730 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 4: one man band, You've got your public help, and the 731 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,799 Speaker 4: people have come forward out there in the real world. 732 00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,160 Speaker 1: There's Maddie, there's us, there's all us reviewing it. 733 00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:33,600 Speaker 4: And here they are a complete homicide unsolved unit and 734 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,640 Speaker 4: a statewide police force, and we just hear nothing. 735 00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:43,840 Speaker 1: We just here not one thing that they're moving forward with. 736 00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:48,360 Speaker 1: To be fair, they may be aware of this, you 737 00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:52,719 Speaker 1: don't you. The public help has been incredible, with the 738 00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:57,359 Speaker 1: Facebook discussion group and people emailing me directly emailing Maddie. 739 00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:03,080 Speaker 1: Karina Berger she found the timetable along with another woman 740 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:11,200 Speaker 1: who has requested an anonymity, and she's a gun investigator. Lazy. Now. 741 00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,840 Speaker 1: Early in this episode, you heard detective Sergeant Glenn Taylor 742 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:19,400 Speaker 1: questioning John Winfield. The second half of the nineteen ninety 743 00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,279 Speaker 1: eight interview began with a question which has been on 744 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:23,080 Speaker 1: the minds of. 745 00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:28,839 Speaker 3: Many, was the conversation between you and browin quite on 746 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:29,680 Speaker 3: good terms. 747 00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,640 Speaker 2: Amicable, Yeah, because the kids were still up and they 748 00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,600 Speaker 2: the kids went to bed at about sort of eight 749 00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:38,120 Speaker 2: point thirty. 750 00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:43,399 Speaker 1: Or suppose it's a leading question and John has embraced it. 751 00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:48,120 Speaker 1: A characterization of peace and harmony between a divorcing couple 752 00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,200 Speaker 1: must be better than the alternative, particularly when the wife 753 00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:55,120 Speaker 1: has been missing for five years. We can only speculate 754 00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,000 Speaker 1: now whether the answer from John would have been different 755 00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:00,319 Speaker 1: if he had been taken to an entry in the 756 00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:04,560 Speaker 1: Police Running Sheets from nineteen ninety three, the entry where 757 00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,960 Speaker 1: Deb Hall reports to police what she says John had 758 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:12,480 Speaker 1: told Deb that John and Bromlan had an altercation on 759 00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:16,840 Speaker 1: the Sunday evening May sixteenth, when John arrived at the house. 760 00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:23,480 Speaker 1: The Dictionary definition for altercation is noisy disagreement. It's the 761 00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:28,040 Speaker 1: opposite of a conversation on good terms, a conversation that 762 00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:33,480 Speaker 1: is purportedly amicable. If Deb was the only person who 763 00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:37,360 Speaker 1: recalled John saying that he and Bromin had an altercation, 764 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,040 Speaker 1: it might be one of those he said, she said 765 00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:42,839 Speaker 1: claims that makes sense but can't be given a huge 766 00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:46,840 Speaker 1: amount of weight. But Louise Winfield, the wife of John's 767 00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:51,320 Speaker 1: brother Peter Winfield, made a similar observation in her witness statement, 768 00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:56,200 Speaker 1: which is dated August fourteenth, nineteen ninety eight. That's just 769 00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,680 Speaker 1: nine days after John was questioned by Glenn. 770 00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:04,160 Speaker 13: Taylor, I became aware that John did go to Lennox Head. 771 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,360 Speaker 13: My memory of the following events are very vague, but 772 00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,239 Speaker 13: I recall John telling us that he and Bronwyn had 773 00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,919 Speaker 13: a fight and that Bronwyn had walked out. 774 00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:18,360 Speaker 1: There were many important recollections and observations which came out 775 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,600 Speaker 1: in the dozens of interviews Glenn did with witnesses during 776 00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:25,160 Speaker 1: his investigation, but he couldn't put any of those to 777 00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:29,240 Speaker 1: John because John gave the detective one shot at an interview. 778 00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,320 Speaker 1: We're going to look at this in the next episode 779 00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:35,640 Speaker 1: because Glenn Taylor, who is always trying to help this 780 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:40,440 Speaker 1: podcast investigation and the Reed family, has offered his perspective 781 00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:44,520 Speaker 1: as an insider on all of it. The situation at 782 00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:48,600 Speaker 1: Sandstone Crescent on the night of May sixteenth, nineteen ninety 783 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,480 Speaker 1: three was something akin to a powder keg with an 784 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:55,440 Speaker 1: unlit fuse. In my view, I have wondered whether it 785 00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:59,319 Speaker 1: was triggered by John realizing that Broman was determined to 786 00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:03,560 Speaker 1: proceed to divorce did John see in the house that 787 00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,840 Speaker 1: night Bromlin's copy of a legal letter which her solicitor, 788 00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:10,760 Speaker 1: Chrismic Debitt, had sent to John in Sydney two days earlier, 789 00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,200 Speaker 1: a letter which John would not have received in Sydney 790 00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:18,440 Speaker 1: before he flew to Ballina on Sunday afternoon. But John 791 00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:21,399 Speaker 1: was going to get that letter anyway, and it would 792 00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:24,480 Speaker 1: have been logical for Bronwyn to tell John what her 793 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:28,920 Speaker 1: instructions were, or to tell him what the legal letter conveyed. 794 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,720 Speaker 1: It would have been normal for her to say something 795 00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:36,040 Speaker 1: like John, I don't want an argument, but as you're 796 00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,080 Speaker 1: here now, you might as well read what's in the 797 00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:41,239 Speaker 1: letter that was sent to you on Friday. This is 798 00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:45,040 Speaker 1: what Chrismic Debits legal letter to John stated in part. 799 00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:48,600 Speaker 14: Bronwyin is hopeful that you will both be able to 800 00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:51,719 Speaker 14: reach an agreement in relation to financial matters, and we 801 00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:53,880 Speaker 14: will be writing to you further with a proposal in 802 00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,560 Speaker 14: this regard in the near future. We are instructed by 803 00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:59,960 Speaker 14: Bronwyn that in her view, your marriage is out an 804 00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,200 Speaker 14: and that there is no prospect of a reconciliation. In 805 00:53:03,239 --> 00:53:06,680 Speaker 14: the meantime, we require your immediate agreement for Bronwin to 806 00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:09,400 Speaker 14: retain the use and possession of the Ford motor vehicle 807 00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:11,960 Speaker 14: depending finalization of your financial matters. 808 00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,799 Speaker 1: The last paragraph of the legal letter urged John to 809 00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:20,520 Speaker 1: get his own lawyer and to disclose his intentions around 810 00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:24,239 Speaker 1: the Ford Falcon within the next seven days, and it 811 00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:27,280 Speaker 1: warned John that Bromwin would go to court to get 812 00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:30,879 Speaker 1: an interim order giving her possession of the car if 813 00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:56,840 Speaker 1: John failed to respond. Now, let's go back to the 814 00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:00,840 Speaker 1: questioning of John by Glenn Taylor in that nineteen ninety 815 00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:04,680 Speaker 1: eight interview in the Ballana police station. Can you tell 816 00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:06,120 Speaker 1: us what was talked about? 817 00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:10,400 Speaker 2: I got no idea. I can't remember what we talked 818 00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,080 Speaker 2: about at the moment. We may not even have had 819 00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:17,000 Speaker 2: too much discussion. I really can't remember, to tell you 820 00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:21,359 Speaker 2: the truth. She didn't ask me anything about Sydney. I 821 00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:24,520 Speaker 2: didn't really ask her anything about Lettox or probably about 822 00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:27,560 Speaker 2: the kids, you know, just probably about the kids. 823 00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:31,800 Speaker 1: These answers from John where he says they didn't really 824 00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:36,200 Speaker 1: talk about anything, are hard to fathom. John is suggesting 825 00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:39,399 Speaker 1: two detective Sergeant Glenn Taylor that it was pretty much 826 00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:43,080 Speaker 1: like any other evening at the family home. Nothing out 827 00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:46,839 Speaker 1: of the ordinary, probably didn't discuss much about anything, but 828 00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:52,360 Speaker 1: this was an extraordinary evening. Tensions must have been very high. 829 00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,520 Speaker 1: John had gone to the expense and trouble of having 830 00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:58,960 Speaker 1: new locks installed at the family home. He did that 831 00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:02,759 Speaker 1: to ensure that his estranged wife would not get into 832 00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:07,480 Speaker 1: that home. But she had. Bronwyn had got herself a locksmith, 833 00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:10,360 Speaker 1: and she was living in the house. She had beaten 834 00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:14,239 Speaker 1: and discarded the physical barriers that John had organized, and 835 00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:17,120 Speaker 1: John could see that she now had possession of the house. 836 00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:21,040 Speaker 1: Whatever John believed that possession meant in terms of a 837 00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:26,080 Speaker 1: legal right. Bromwyn had already told John's daughter Jody that 838 00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:29,600 Speaker 1: the property was Bromwin's too, and that John needed to 839 00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:34,279 Speaker 1: be careful about approaching. Here's how Jody described it. You 840 00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:36,080 Speaker 1: heard this in episode four. 841 00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:40,040 Speaker 15: I can't recall how it happened, but I rang the 842 00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:43,400 Speaker 15: house at Sandstone Crescent and Bronwin answered the telephone. She 843 00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,360 Speaker 15: told me that she'd moved back into the house with 844 00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,240 Speaker 15: the kids and that she was staying there. She also 845 00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,319 Speaker 15: told me that Dad was not welcome there and that 846 00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:53,000 Speaker 15: he can stay in Sydney with me. She told me 847 00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:54,960 Speaker 15: that she was going to get a restraining order, so 848 00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,919 Speaker 15: that he couldn't come near the house. She also told 849 00:55:57,960 --> 00:55:59,839 Speaker 15: me that the house belonged to her, and I really 850 00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:02,279 Speaker 15: know that she changed from the person who wanted us 851 00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:05,680 Speaker 15: all to stay close. We both started to argue because 852 00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:07,640 Speaker 15: I told her that it was not her house and 853 00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:11,600 Speaker 15: that it belonged to Dad, Crystal, Lauren, and me as well. 854 00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:13,799 Speaker 15: I also told her that it belonged to us, more 855 00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:16,279 Speaker 15: so because she was the one that chose to leave. 856 00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,839 Speaker 15: It developed into a very heated argument and we were 857 00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:21,680 Speaker 15: yelling at each other, and she hung up on me. 858 00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:27,760 Speaker 1: Jody told her father about her difficult Friday, May fourteen 859 00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:31,800 Speaker 1: conversation with Bromwan. Jody had tried to talk to Bromin 860 00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,840 Speaker 1: again on the Saturday morning, but she couldn't reach her stepmother. 861 00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:39,600 Speaker 1: Jody spoke instead to ten year old Crystal, and from 862 00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:44,040 Speaker 1: whatever the child said, Jody concluded that Bromwin was leaving 863 00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:47,080 Speaker 1: the two girls on their own in the house. This 864 00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:50,200 Speaker 1: is how Jody described it in her nineteen ninety eight 865 00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:51,080 Speaker 1: police statement. 866 00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:55,400 Speaker 15: When I terminated the phone call and told Dad, he 867 00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:57,840 Speaker 15: appeared to be very stressed out about it because they 868 00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:00,200 Speaker 15: had never been left alone before and he was so 869 00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:04,000 Speaker 15: far away. I started ringing at four pm, and from memory, 870 00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:06,000 Speaker 15: I think she answered and hung up when she heard 871 00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,360 Speaker 15: my voice because she knew what was going to happen. 872 00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,040 Speaker 15: I tried bringing her straight after, but she must have 873 00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,080 Speaker 15: left the phone off the hook again. It was off 874 00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:15,640 Speaker 15: the hook all night. I told Dad and he made 875 00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:19,200 Speaker 15: arrangements to fly to Baliner the following day. I felt 876 00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,280 Speaker 15: that I was out of the situation then when Dad 877 00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:23,400 Speaker 15: was going back home to sort it out, so I 878 00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,120 Speaker 15: left it to him. 879 00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,160 Speaker 1: And soon after, a man obsessive about the home he 880 00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:32,920 Speaker 1: had built with his bare hands, who carefully watched every dollar, 881 00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:36,720 Speaker 1: suddenly packed up his things in Sydney, stopped work on 882 00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,520 Speaker 1: the building job he was doing in the Shire, and 883 00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,240 Speaker 1: spent money he would have preferred to keep in his 884 00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:46,160 Speaker 1: bank account on a costly fair to fly north to Ballina. 885 00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:50,560 Speaker 1: But according to his interview with Detective Glenn Taylor. 886 00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,120 Speaker 2: I can't remember what we talked about at the moment. 887 00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,120 Speaker 2: We may not even have had too much discussion. 888 00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:00,640 Speaker 1: Now, while Jodie's voice is fresh in your mind, let's 889 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,920 Speaker 1: hear what she said in her police statement in nineteen 890 00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:07,960 Speaker 1: ninety eight about a phone call from Sandstone Crescent on Sunday, 891 00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:12,440 Speaker 1: May sixteenth. This is that six point fifty three pm 892 00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:16,120 Speaker 1: call which John told the detectives that he had made 893 00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:19,880 Speaker 1: to his daughter. It's the call which we believe John 894 00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:23,840 Speaker 1: could not have made because the flight timetables suggests he 895 00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:27,160 Speaker 1: was still in the air on an Anset jet to bowner. 896 00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:31,320 Speaker 1: Jodi referred to the call in the last paragraph of 897 00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:35,280 Speaker 1: her twenty one paragraph statement, which was dated August twelve, 898 00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:39,400 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight. That's a week after John was interviewed 899 00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:40,880 Speaker 1: by the detectives. 900 00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:45,480 Speaker 15: Today, Detective Tenby showed me an STD telephone record. I 901 00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 15: can recall that my father rang me at that time 902 00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:49,760 Speaker 15: from the home at Lenox Head to tell me that 903 00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:53,280 Speaker 15: he'd arrived there safely. I don't recall much of the conversation, 904 00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:55,440 Speaker 15: but I believe that Bromwin must have been in the 905 00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:58,360 Speaker 15: house at the time. I did not speak to Bronwin, 906 00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:01,240 Speaker 15: and as I said before, the phone call was very short. 907 00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:03,720 Speaker 15: My father told me that he would ring me later, 908 00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:04,720 Speaker 15: and that was about it. 909 00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:09,640 Speaker 1: Jody confirmed in her statement that the telephone number which 910 00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:12,560 Speaker 1: made the call was known to her as having come 911 00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:16,720 Speaker 1: from the home phone at Sandstone Crescent, and Jody confirmed 912 00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:19,240 Speaker 1: that the number it called was Jody's number at the 913 00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:24,400 Speaker 1: time in her flat in Sydney. John's brother Peter Winfield, 914 00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:28,720 Speaker 1: in his statement to police in mid August nineteen ninety eight, 915 00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:32,280 Speaker 1: was also shown the telephone bill and the reference to 916 00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:36,280 Speaker 1: the telephone call being made to Louise and Peter Winfield's 917 00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:40,000 Speaker 1: home at seven oh six pm on sixteen May nineteen 918 00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:44,400 Speaker 1: ninety three. Peter Winfield told the detective Glen Taylor that 919 00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:47,000 Speaker 1: it would have been the call that John made to 920 00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:51,200 Speaker 1: Peter from Lennox Head. He said he didn't remember much 921 00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:54,320 Speaker 1: about that phone call and that John made it in 922 00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:58,040 Speaker 1: the evening. The next thing he says he recalled was 923 00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:01,960 Speaker 1: John and the children arriving in Sydney. Peter said that 924 01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,960 Speaker 1: he had tried to remember, but he couldn't recall what 925 01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:09,400 Speaker 1: John said about coming to Sydney with the children. In 926 01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:13,280 Speaker 1: episode five, you heard what John had told police five 927 01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:17,920 Speaker 1: years earlier in nineteen ninety three. 928 01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,440 Speaker 16: He stated that his wife met him at the door 929 01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:21,640 Speaker 16: and they sat and talked for some time in the 930 01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,680 Speaker 16: dining room. The children were then put to bed and 931 01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:26,800 Speaker 16: both he and his wife had an evening meal. 932 01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:33,160 Speaker 1: In this version, the one weeks after Bronwin's disappearance John 933 01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:36,640 Speaker 1: and Bronwin had quite a bit to talk about. After 934 01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:39,080 Speaker 1: the children went to bed, they had an evening meal 935 01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:44,760 Speaker 1: together they talked for some time. Five years later, Crystal 936 01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:47,520 Speaker 1: described it this way in the statement that she made 937 01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:50,640 Speaker 1: two Detective Sergeant Taylor at Ballina Police Station. 938 01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:54,920 Speaker 17: I remember being at home in the early evening when 939 01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:58,160 Speaker 17: I received a telephone call, and from my recollection, it 940 01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:01,160 Speaker 17: was from my father. I don't remember what it was 941 01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:03,720 Speaker 17: that I spoke about, but it was not long after 942 01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:05,720 Speaker 17: this that my father arrived at the house. 943 01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:07,320 Speaker 8: I remember my. 944 01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:10,440 Speaker 17: Mother saying something like, what are you doing here? My 945 01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:13,640 Speaker 17: father says something about having caught a plane back to Bleana. 946 01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:17,080 Speaker 17: I remember Dad coming into the kitchen and I was 947 01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:21,280 Speaker 17: sitting watching television. My Dad and Mom started talking, but 948 01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:24,520 Speaker 17: I don't know what was being said. The next thing 949 01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:27,480 Speaker 17: that I remember was Mum telling myself and my sister 950 01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:30,840 Speaker 17: Lauren to clean our teeth and go to bed. After 951 01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:33,080 Speaker 17: I went to bed, I heard Mom and Dad arguing 952 01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:36,120 Speaker 17: in the kitchen. I could hear Mom crying at the 953 01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:39,600 Speaker 17: same time. I don't recall what was being said between 954 01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:42,360 Speaker 17: Mom and Dad, but I could tell that they were arguing. 955 01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:46,000 Speaker 17: I could hear them arguing until I must have fell asleep. 956 01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:50,680 Speaker 17: My next recollection that night was being woken by my father. 957 01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:54,000 Speaker 17: Dad told me that he was taking Lauren a iight 958 01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:54,520 Speaker 17: to Sydney. 959 01:01:56,120 --> 01:02:00,200 Speaker 1: Let's go back to the nineteen ninety eight interview. Did 960 01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:03,560 Speaker 1: you communicate to her that you were going to leave 961 01:02:03,640 --> 01:02:05,960 Speaker 1: that same night to go back to Sydney? 962 01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:08,360 Speaker 2: No, no, no way, no. 963 01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:10,680 Speaker 1: How did that all come about? 964 01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:15,120 Speaker 2: Well, I didn't say, but like it, I mean, all 965 01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:19,240 Speaker 2: of a sudden after the phone calls that she apparently made, 966 01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:22,720 Speaker 2: you know, I heard a car pull up. I was 967 01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:25,040 Speaker 2: sitting there at the dining room table, and she was 968 01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:29,160 Speaker 2: in the bedroom and a car pulled up, and I 969 01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:32,240 Speaker 2: mean she opened the front door and she was off. 970 01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:36,560 Speaker 2: That was it. What time was that PNA About quarters 971 01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:40,920 Speaker 2: to midnight? I think eleven o'clock. I don't know, you know, 972 01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:46,360 Speaker 2: it's probably down there somewhere. This is a mistake by 973 01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:50,360 Speaker 2: John in terms of the timing. He had previously said 974 01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:54,480 Speaker 2: that Boman left about nine thirty pm. What were you 975 01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:57,960 Speaker 2: doing at that point? I was still sitting at the table. 976 01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:00,800 Speaker 2: I was still sitting at the table, and I stayed 977 01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:01,400 Speaker 2: at the table. 978 01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:03,959 Speaker 1: What time did the kids go to bed? 979 01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:06,800 Speaker 2: I think the kids were in bed by that time. 980 01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:12,600 Speaker 2: I'm quite sure they were. I you know, I they 981 01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:15,320 Speaker 2: would have been in bed by that time, would have 982 01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:16,520 Speaker 2: been in bed by that time. 983 01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:20,720 Speaker 3: Well up until that point, hag, you communicated to Braunway 984 01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:24,160 Speaker 3: what you intended to do, whether you stay in the 985 01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:25,720 Speaker 3: family home or no. 986 01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:26,000 Speaker 1: No. 987 01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:30,880 Speaker 2: I just maybe there was, oh, I can't remember. Maybe 988 01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:34,360 Speaker 2: there was a discussion about sleeping arrangements. I don't know. 989 01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:37,680 Speaker 2: I might have said I'll sleep on the lounge. I 990 01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:41,440 Speaker 2: don't know what I said. I really can't remember, but 991 01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:43,080 Speaker 2: that was it. You know, I had a couple of 992 01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:47,240 Speaker 2: cups of tea. I wasn't really sort of tired. I 993 01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:50,960 Speaker 2: wasn't in a sleeping sort of mood. And then like 994 01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:56,680 Speaker 2: we heard a carpool up and she opened the front door, 995 01:03:56,960 --> 01:04:00,000 Speaker 2: and she was off and she left. The front door 996 01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:02,720 Speaker 2: were open, and I heard the car go off up 997 01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:03,160 Speaker 2: the hill. 998 01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:07,160 Speaker 1: Glenn Taylor might have been holding or looking at some 999 01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:10,840 Speaker 1: of the running sheets and other documents from Graham Diskin's 1000 01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:15,800 Speaker 1: investigation five years earlier. Referring to that time, Glenn said 1001 01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:19,520 Speaker 1: to John, you mention that you stayed at the dining 1002 01:04:19,600 --> 01:04:24,240 Speaker 1: room table for some time with Bromlin discussing family matters. 1003 01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:29,160 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, probably, I don't know. I can't remember, I mean, 1004 01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:33,920 Speaker 2: five years ago. I can't remember where we sat. You know, 1005 01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:38,080 Speaker 2: I know I was sitting at the table because I 1006 01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:41,360 Speaker 2: always have this one seat I always sit in, you know, 1007 01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:44,880 Speaker 2: it's just sort of where I used to always sit, 1008 01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:45,680 Speaker 2: you know. 1009 01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:51,400 Speaker 1: Here, Glenn Taylor has highlighted John's nineteen ninety three claims 1010 01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:54,520 Speaker 1: about having talked about family matters with Bromwin for some 1011 01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:59,400 Speaker 1: time that night. Perhaps four tactical reasons, the detective has 1012 01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:02,600 Speaker 1: not challenged John about why he claimed they didn't really 1013 01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:06,840 Speaker 1: talk about anything. But it begs the question, what is 1014 01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:10,320 Speaker 1: the correct answer? John? Both answers can't be right. 1015 01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:15,200 Speaker 3: You mentioned this too, that there was some discussion between 1016 01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:17,720 Speaker 3: you and your wipe about her having a break from 1017 01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:18,360 Speaker 3: the children. 1018 01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:22,680 Speaker 2: Well, see she left a letter in the car too, 1019 01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:25,880 Speaker 2: I mean I go to pick her up. She left 1020 01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:29,080 Speaker 2: a letter in the back of the car, and in 1021 01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:31,680 Speaker 2: that letter she said that she needed a break. 1022 01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:37,479 Speaker 1: And notice that John actually avoided answering the question here 1023 01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:41,360 Speaker 1: by raising the existence of a letter written by Bromwin. 1024 01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:45,480 Speaker 1: John doesn't deal with whatever he claims Bromman had told 1025 01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:47,760 Speaker 1: him that night about wanting to have a bit of 1026 01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:51,400 Speaker 1: a break. It's a deflection, and perhaps it was just 1027 01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:55,880 Speaker 1: an accident. Part of the response from John, though, is baffling. 1028 01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:58,919 Speaker 1: It's hard to know what he was talking about when 1029 01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:02,240 Speaker 1: he said, I go to pick her up. She left 1030 01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:05,800 Speaker 1: a letter in the back of the car. The known 1031 01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:10,160 Speaker 1: timeline has John having no physical contact with Bromwan for 1032 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:13,040 Speaker 1: weeks until his return to the house in Lennox Head. 1033 01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:17,240 Speaker 1: He hadn't picked her up, as in driven somewhere to 1034 01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:20,760 Speaker 1: get her. Broman was in the house with the children 1035 01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:23,560 Speaker 1: when he turned up there on the Sunday night, and 1036 01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:27,240 Speaker 1: she left, according to him, in a mystery car driven 1037 01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:31,400 Speaker 1: by an unknown individual, before John left with the children 1038 01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:36,200 Speaker 1: to drive to Sydney overnight. We know about the letter 1039 01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:40,160 Speaker 1: you heard excerpts from Broman's writing in earlier episodes. 1040 01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:44,320 Speaker 18: When we moved to Lennox Head, I was even more lonely. 1041 01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:49,240 Speaker 18: The house that was Bill became John's castle and my prison. 1042 01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:54,440 Speaker 18: Eventually I switched off and became cold inside. He had 1043 01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:57,160 Speaker 18: a heart of ice and always criticized me no matter 1044 01:06:57,200 --> 01:07:01,400 Speaker 18: what I did. The man was cold and heartless and 1045 01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:07,240 Speaker 18: gave nothing but expected everything. That'll be fine now, A 1046 01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:09,360 Speaker 18: little break for a few weeks and everyone will see 1047 01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:11,480 Speaker 18: the old me look out. 1048 01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:16,360 Speaker 1: John was vague about the contents of the letter when 1049 01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:17,640 Speaker 1: Glenn Taylor raised it. 1050 01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:21,320 Speaker 2: I can't remember what was in the letter. It was 1051 01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:24,200 Speaker 2: a long letter. I mean, I know I gave it 1052 01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:28,840 Speaker 2: to Graham anyway. You know, I'd be lying if I 1053 01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:31,760 Speaker 2: told you I can remember what was said, because I 1054 01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:35,919 Speaker 2: can't remember what I said, you know. I mean, it's 1055 01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:38,360 Speaker 2: that long ago and I've put it out of my mind, 1056 01:07:38,600 --> 01:07:39,280 Speaker 2: I really have. 1057 01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:44,240 Speaker 3: You know, was it anything that you can retral about 1058 01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:47,280 Speaker 3: whether you and her to say that you were going 1059 01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:49,040 Speaker 3: to take the children down to Sydney? 1060 01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:54,080 Speaker 2: No, no, never, never. It's just that when she bolted 1061 01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:56,680 Speaker 2: out that door and drove up the street, you know, 1062 01:07:56,880 --> 01:08:01,040 Speaker 2: and left the car, well, you know, I thought, oh well, 1063 01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:03,360 Speaker 2: I'll just take the kids to city with me. You know, 1064 01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:07,720 Speaker 2: I don't know. It's just a spontaneous thing. But I 1065 01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:09,480 Speaker 2: just did it, you know, So I did it. 1066 01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:13,000 Speaker 3: Were you not concerned that she go to the police 1067 01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:14,919 Speaker 3: and say that you've taken the kids? 1068 01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:15,880 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1069 01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:19,240 Speaker 2: But see, in the eyes of the family court, everyone's 1070 01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:23,200 Speaker 2: got a right to access until the court determines, you know. So, 1071 01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:25,920 Speaker 2: I mean I hadn't seen the kids for weeks, so 1072 01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:29,240 Speaker 2: I sort of decided to take them. I may have 1073 01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:33,760 Speaker 2: discussed it with her. I can't honestly remember, I'll tell 1074 01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:37,960 Speaker 2: you the truth. I can't remember whether I said, listen, 1075 01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:41,800 Speaker 2: how about leaving the kids with me, because like it's 1076 01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:44,719 Speaker 2: five years I really don't think about it that much. 1077 01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:48,080 Speaker 2: You know, it wasn't school holidays at that time, was it? 1078 01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:52,040 Speaker 2: You can check that. I can't remember, but it may have. 1079 01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:54,880 Speaker 2: I don't know. It was in May, so I don't know. 1080 01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:58,920 Speaker 1: In fact, it was not school holidays at the time. 1081 01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:04,040 Speaker 1: Children were meant to be at school on Monday, May seventeenth. 1082 01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:07,719 Speaker 1: It's still a mystery why John took off so suddenly, 1083 01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:11,360 Speaker 1: particularly as he said that he had brought his surfboard 1084 01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:14,920 Speaker 1: and his gear back to Banana on the aircraft, and 1085 01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:17,920 Speaker 1: his story was that Bromin had announced to him that 1086 01:09:18,160 --> 01:09:20,400 Speaker 1: night that she was going away for a few days. 1087 01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:23,840 Speaker 1: On his version, he would have had the house and 1088 01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:27,599 Speaker 1: the children to himself. He didn't need to drive anywhere. 1089 01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:31,880 Speaker 1: This car that you heard pull up, it just pulled 1090 01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:33,840 Speaker 1: up out the street, out the front. 1091 01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:38,040 Speaker 2: Did you say, yeah, I was thinking about the school holidays. 1092 01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:40,679 Speaker 2: It could have been school holidays. I don't know. 1093 01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:44,719 Speaker 1: What did it sound like? Did it sound just a car? 1094 01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:48,240 Speaker 2: You know, I mean, if you're trying, was it a 1095 01:09:48,280 --> 01:09:51,320 Speaker 2: four cylinder or a V eight? I don't know, see 1096 01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:51,599 Speaker 2: what I. 1097 01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:52,759 Speaker 1: Mean, you're not sure? 1098 01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:53,559 Speaker 2: No? 1099 01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:56,519 Speaker 3: No, how do you know that it stopped at the 1100 01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:59,120 Speaker 3: front of your place because I heard it? You know 1101 01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:02,280 Speaker 3: what the engine I was stopped there with the engine ray. 1102 01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:07,280 Speaker 2: The engine running. Yeah, and you didn't go to investigate. No, No, 1103 01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:11,719 Speaker 2: at next stage you thought, I mean, once she'd gone 1104 01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:14,080 Speaker 2: and the car gone up the hill, I walked up 1105 01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:16,720 Speaker 2: and she was gone. The car was gone. So I 1106 01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:18,800 Speaker 2: just shut the front door and the front door was 1107 01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:21,559 Speaker 2: still open. The front door was still open. Yeah. 1108 01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:24,839 Speaker 1: Do you go and check whether she'd taken anything close 1109 01:10:25,080 --> 01:10:25,920 Speaker 1: or I didn't? 1110 01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:30,040 Speaker 2: No, I don't think I did. I mean I think 1111 01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:32,960 Speaker 2: I noticed her handbag was gone or something like that. 1112 01:10:33,360 --> 01:10:36,559 Speaker 1: So there was no communication with to her that she 1113 01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:38,280 Speaker 1: was even leaving in the house. 1114 01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:42,960 Speaker 2: No. No, she didn't say I'm going or anything like that. 1115 01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:46,120 Speaker 1: No, So these phone calls happened. I'm not long after 1116 01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:48,920 Speaker 1: the phone call was car pulls up? 1117 01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:52,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I said to Graham at the time, well, 1118 01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:55,880 Speaker 2: maybe one of these phone calls that she made might 1119 01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:58,040 Speaker 2: have been to a bloke to come and pick her up, 1120 01:10:58,200 --> 01:11:01,280 Speaker 2: you know, or a friend. So like Graham has suggested 1121 01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:04,920 Speaker 2: to me, maybe that was her boyfriend, just come round 1122 01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:07,880 Speaker 2: a pay or a visit. I don't know that was 1123 01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:08,960 Speaker 2: his suggestion, you know. 1124 01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:27,479 Speaker 1: Bronwin is written and investigated by me Headley Thomas as 1125 01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:32,280 Speaker 1: a podcast production for The Australian.
