Seated in the window seat in row 30, the last row of seats on the plane, Mr Dawson occasionally spoke to police and had his breakfast on the 90-minute flight.

He was the first to board the plane for flight QF861, escorted by officers and wearing the same clothes he was arrested in but with the addition of a pair of thongs.

Detectives were seated beside and in front of him.

“Most of the flight he spent looking out the window. It was like a last taste of freedom,” a passenger said.

One of the most interesting aspects of this entire event, M.. the public and private relationship of Chris and Paul. And, in a lesser way, the influence of Peter .

He has coped without Paul, with his third wife, who, god alone knows how, got him to move 8 hours away, and it seemed to go on for some years, but .. when the ground began to tremble, he was back with Paul.

I can't work out which one can't do without the other. Marilyn was under the illusion that Paul was the leader, the head man of the duo, which then leads to another question .. what would Chris do without his brothers input? … theft? murder?

I do not believe they never discussed this highly inconvenient situation of Chris having a wife who possibly wasn't compliant enough, and the added pressure of being infatuated with a schoolgirl. Something that had to have a solution, a resolvement .

And I do wonder, how long it will take before Paul comes to Chris's rescue...

New witnesses uncovered in The Australian’s investigative podcast series, The Teacher’s Pet , have formed part of the case against Mr Dawson, who is accused of killing his wife in January 1982 after courting Ms Curtis when she was his high school student.

It can now be revealed that these witnesses include a woman who met detectives for the first time in Sydney weeks ago. A former northern beaches schoolgirl, she had a close relationship with Mr Dawson, his twin brother Paul and Ms Curtis, and kept diaries.

The Australian has been in touch with her for months, having introduced her to police, but has chosen not to reveal her identity.

Wow, that's interesting. I admit, for a minute there, I thought Marilyn may have been the other witness.
 
I am so curious to know if Peter is going to represent him again.. .

Which, I admit, I thought that was a conflict of interest, when he did Chris' divorce, considering he was actually assisting his brother do his nieces out of their mother's inheritance, but surely there would be a conflict of interest if he represents him on a murder charge of his own sister in law?..

Either way, there goes the family money pool. You can all kiss that goodbye, because from here on in, Cris 's life is being paid for by the hour, and that means someone has to cough up some very respectable piles of money, in advance.

Actually I’m severely disgusted.
IMO if it wasn’t for the podcast I believe this would’ve been swept under the carpet.

Someone on the podcast asked why he hadn’t been arrested before this? Who does he know?

I always sing the praise for our cops but this time I’m NOT bloody impressed Jan.

I’m with you, tgy. Maybe the podcast got our new head of Homicide’s nose outta joint? :D
