It’s so sad Mathew remained close friends with his ex-girlfriend from high-school. A love lost.
Ex-girlfriend Tanya Morley also wrote in her police statement that she knew about
a Walcha man Mr Dunbar was in a relationship with, but was unsure how long it lasted.
Ms Morley began dating Mr Dunbar towards the end of high school about 20 years ago, and the two remained in contact until his death.
She said all text messages he sent to her were signed off with "I love you always and forever," and that she often replied "I love you forever honey," but said they were just friends at this point.
At times Mr Dunbar's tone of voice and conversation over the phone would change, saying words to the effect "I can't really talk because she's around".
Darcy messaged Ms Morley on Facebook in June 2017.
"There's nothing going on between Matt and I," Ms Morley texted back to Darcy.
Soon after, Mr Dunbar let Ms Morley know he was not allowed to contact her anymore.
"I asked him 'was it because of Natasha?' He indicated it was, yes," Ms Morley said.
She was then blocked from contacting his Facebook account.
