I did read somewhere that Joanne Lees being the rightful owner wanted it destroyed because of what she went through with it but whether that ever came to fruition who knows.

If it didnt get cubed it'll probably sit for decades in police holding yards like Ted Bundys bug.

I'm sure he's responsible for driving the tourist numbers down after that movie.

The movie is only very loosely based on the murdock and Milat cases

He actually lives not far from here, he bought a cruddy MX83 Cressida from my ex for his daughters first car.

immediatley after the trial, joanne insisted that the van was destroyed, the NT authorities did as they were asked.

theres a TV show on sunday night (31/7) i saw a brief advert so im not 100% sure, but a guy on there says Falconio is still alive, "compelling evidence" i'll find the show and i'll be glued!!

Oz is a very strange place, you lost a prime minister, babies to dingoes, on average 22 tourists a year just vanish! and TV channels arn't 1,2,3 they start 7,9,10 (and wheres 8 ??)

OMG, i've just watched the Sunday Night tv show, still as many questions as answers, but i can see theres enough to let Murdoc go, and so many holes in Lees story i'm suprised it even went to trial. another baby n the dingo story, only time will tell.

Yeah I saw it too, plenty of holes in the story however the blood on Lee's T shirt had Murdoch's DNA which the lawyer had no answer for.
