Ms Worledge's personal story is well known. In January 1976, her daughter Eloise, 8, vanished from the family home in Beaumaris and was never found. It was a tragedy that made Patsy Worledge a household name in one of the most publicised cases in Australian history.
Today, approaching her 72nd birthday, she has built another life built on a spiritual journey that has taken her through immersion in Chinese meditation to encounters with Aboriginal elders and artists. Indigenous art informs her own work: the colours, the dot work, the elevation of the mysteries of life to the canvasses that clutter her home.
It is VERY likely the scene was staged but ..... WHY???
Former teacher and business adviser Lindsay Worledge died two weeks ago, 41 years after Eloise was taken from her bedroom in Scott Street, sparking one of Victoria's biggest investigations and searches.
Lindsay was treated as a suspect, not because there was any evidence pointing at him, but because there were no obvious alternatives.
After his marriage to Eloise's mother, Patsy, ended in divorce he remarried and tried to live quietly but his name was always linked to his daughter's case, both as a grieving parent and a possible suspect.
In 2002 he took a police lie detector test, "The results were inconclusive. It did not produce a result which would satisfy police curiosity."
He said he had his own thoughts on what happened that night, but they "are an interpretation of nothing. They are just theories".
A police review of the case found, "At the conclusion of investigations into Lindsay Worledge, no evidence in regards to his involvement has been uncovered."
The ultimate head of the initial investigation agreed. Detective Superintendent Warnock believed he was unfairly judged.
"Mr Worledge, I think, has been seen in a bad light," he said nine months after the abduction
"He's not the kind of person who wears his heart on his sleeve. Deep down, he cares about his children and he is very distressed about this whole business.
