Thanks no name, these articles are very helpful indeed - think there is great benefit from visits to the library.Spinnaker I think that article was 1 of only 2 that I found in The West Australian.
In my first post after going to the library I mentioned that the "facts" of the case, which extended to the condition & location of the vehicle, very much depended on which newspaper was telling the story & presumably dependant on who they spoke to to obtain those facts. On the whole, I think it is quite obvious that the police fully expected her body to be washed up ashore, thus confirming it was a probable suicide and only got somewhat serious about her disappearance once that didnt occur. I dont think much care was taken to relay the "facts" accurately at all for that reason.
To be honest, I wish I had a week to spend at the library. In almost 2 hours I'd looked fairly thoroughly through the 1st reel of the Daily News only. I had another 8 or so to go through with no time to do it. I then had a really quick look at the 2 articles that were listed in the library catalogue and then only very briefly in the issues of the various papers immediately following her disappearance. My focus at the time was finding a picture of the car & I was manically loading and unloading reels without paying appropriate attention to exactly where the info was coming from. I have the order the photos were taken in and the info in the articles as best reference for the most part. I hope I haven't broken the rules referencing them as such. I hope that answers your question regarding clarification of the make/model in the articles too Innerchild.
I have no idea why the photos are upside down and sideways they are not like that in my computer but my apologies about that anyway.
The article in the Sunday Times in 2000 connecting her to CSK possibly states that whilst they police have more evidence to suggest a connection, they remain tightlipped. Id be interested to know what that may be considering in 2000 they didnt appear to have any clues at all regarding the identity of CSK from memory. Perhaps we are in for a real eye opener of a trial sometime next year after all.
Has anyone ever compared the dates of any of the numerous disappearances in Perth against WA school holidays? Ive had a quick look but couldn't locate them. If BRE is responsible for any then perhaps whilst with his 2nd wife, that may be a factor.
The connection between JC and one of the main CSK POI's is an interesting one.
