1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: James and Amanda jam Nason. We've got to breaking news

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: right now.

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 2: We do. We're going to cross to Liam Tappa, the

4
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 2: Sunrise correspondent Channel seven human bones have been found in

5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 2: a building site in Chroma.

6
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: Hello Liam, Good morning Jones, Good morning Amanda.

7
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 2: Now, obviously these bones are of interest, well of interest

8
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: always if you know someone's been had murdered presumably Lynn

9
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: Dawson though disappeared in that very region in the eighties,

10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 2: and that's why this added interest here.

11
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's something that police certainly aren't ruling out

12
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: at this stage, Amanda. Those bones that were recovered here

13
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: at this building site yesterday, they've been taken away for

14
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: forensic testing. I just spoke with police before it came

15
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: on air and they said to those results. They haven't

16
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: come back overnight, but they hopefully we'll come back throughout

17
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: the morning. But as you said, what is of crucial

18
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: interest here, and it's the case that grips the nation

19
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: and the world in many ways as well, was that

20
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: case of when At Dawson, she of course went missing

21
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: here on the Northern Beaches back in nineteen eighty two.

22
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: In her body it's never been recovered. Also of interest

23
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: here is that Chris Dawson. He was that school teacher

24
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: of course at Chroma High which is less than one

25
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: kilometer away from this building site. So it's one thing

26
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: that detectives. They're not ruling out that it could in

27
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: fact be Lynett Dawson, of course, but that is still yet,

28
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: of course, to be determined when that testing comes back.

29
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: How did they come across the bones well going to

30
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: it is a construction site inside, so there were workers

31
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: who were working here and as you could imagine, presumably

32
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: they were going through with the construction operation. And they've

33
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: dug them up during that process, and they've done the

34
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: right thing. They've contacted police immediately, they've exited the construction

35
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: site and that's when the police has come in and

36
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: there's been a police presence here all night at the

37
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: building site. I'm told that they will return later on

38
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: in the morning to try and gather more evidence. The

39
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: no workers inside here at the moment, though, as police

40
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: continues to investigation.

41
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: And of course Chris Dawson is as we speak, serving

42
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: a life sentence for Lind's.

43
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: He is, and he tried to appeal it just only

44
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: a matter of weeks ago, and that was knocked back

45
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: in court the evidence was found that there was a

46
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: sufficient evidence rather to overturn that case and grant Chris

47
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: Dawson his freedom. So he will likely spend the rest

48
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: of his life in jail for the murder of his

49
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: wife Slan Edin, who tragically has never been found.

50
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,679
Speaker 2: Lim do we know what was there before it was

51
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: a building site?

52
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: No, that is still part of this investigation. It is

53
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: still it's an industrial area, so there is a large

54
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: number of buildings here which there are heavy machinery works

55
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: within this area. So this forms part of that industrial

56
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: area if anyone who knows the Northern Beach and Cromer

57
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: in particular, it is that industrial area in terms of

58
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: what was here back in the eighties. This is almost

59
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: forty years ago now that Linn went missing. So police

60
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: will be going through the history the record books of

61
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: this site as well to determine what was here and

62
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: with how much building has happened in the meantime, you know,

63
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 1: because at forty years is a long time, and then

64
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: the Northern Beach has been a notorious area for people

65
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 1: going missing as well. So on top of the potentially

66
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: bening when at Dawson, there are a number of missing

67
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: persons cases that this could relate to, so I need

68
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,119
Speaker 1: to be quite clear on that the police are keeping

69
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: a very very open mind with this investigation. Well, Lamb,

70
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: thank you for keeping us up to speed. We'll catch

71
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: you on sunrise. Thanks Liam Doe. You guys,
