Quoted from article today :
"Det-Sen-Sgt Greg Balfour revealed four years ago how investigators had discovered that a man using Popics identification visited Perth and stayed at Northbridge hostel Underground Backpackers on the night of July 15, 2007, just days after the last sighting of the missing four.
His drivers licence with his photo was also used as identification to rent the double room.
The same man travelled by train from Bunbury to Perth earlier that afternoon before catching a 7.15am train to Kalgoorlie the next morning. There was no evidence to suggest Chantelle and Leela McDougall had been on the same train.
The man could have been Popic but it was also possible Kadwell, with his history of identity theft, had posed as his friend, police said."
"Despite high hopes of a more significant breakthrough, an appeal to the public for anyone who may have seen the man produced no further leads".
Quote from article: "The last official sighting of the four was on July 13, 2007 in Busselton, about an hours drive from Nannup. There, they sold a car to a local dealer for $4000 and drove away in a waiting vehicle.
At the time, Popics father Joe told police he had recently given his son $25,000 to take care of what he had believed to be a legal matter.
