ABC Conversations. Shanelle Dawson: the daughter's story​

Shanelle Dawson: the daughter's story - ABC listen

In 2018, Shanelle Dawson's family were the subject of a hit true crime podcast which helped convict her father Chris Dawson of her mother's murder. Now she's reclaiming her own story and the story of her mother Lynette

www.abc.net.au

Great find. I'll listen to it on the way home in about half an hour.

The exposure will help Shanelle sell some copies of her book. She sure deserves to. I bought my copy last night. Bought Hedley's book as well.

 

[Cliff Hardy]

That interview Shanelle did with the ABC is a must listen. As honest and raw as it gets.

"It's a pity she let herself go because she had a pretty face." - Chris Dawson talking about Lynette to Shanelle, years after he had murdered her mother.

What a piece of work. If ever someone deserved to die in jail it's him.

Definitely Kemug. Shanelle has certainly inherited her mother’s dignity, kindness and gentleness. A very impressive lady. I wish her every happiness for the future.

Oh my goodness.

He just doesn’t get it, does he?

Wonder who is driving the bus? CD, the Dawson family or greedy lawyers?
Just hope taxpayers money not being used to support this absolute grub’s appeal.

Yeah that’s what I wondered, also.

As far as I can recall, he is no longer able to find his own legal counsel, so I suppose it’s the taxpayer that foots the bill. IMO.

Also, where’s the other twin at? Haven’t seen his mug for a while.

If there's any justice, he's sat at home, bricking it, waiting for a knock at the door.

MOO

There was probably always going to be an appeal. That's why it was so important Dawson also went down for the carnal knowledge offence.

Surely, even in a worst case scenario where the murder conviction was overturned, he would still face the FULL carnal knowledge sentence and not just the 1 year, that was the result of the concurrency of the two sentences together. So regardless, Dawson will only be seeing the world through bars for a long time.

Hopefully the appeal will only succeed in endorsing his guilt and perhaps, just perhaps, push him a step closer to revealing where Lynette's body is located.

Thank you so much for your insight, @Cliff Hardy . I did half wonder about the “significance” (sentencing-wise) of the guilty verdict in the carnal knowledge case as CD was already incarcerated at the time. I remember reading that he said something like “, ” when he was convicted, and it makes more sense to me after reading your explanation.

I really appreciate it.

Wouldn’t it be fantastic to bring Lynette home to her loved ones, after all this time.

An Article with Shanelle. This is related to the podcast that @TootsieFootsie posted earlier.

Chris Dawson's misogyny 'major' red flag for daughter Shanelle as she processed mother's disappearance

After decades of deception, a protracted police investigation and a very public trial, Shanelle Dawson reclaims her story, sharing the betrayal of losing her mum at the hands of her own father.

www.abc.net.au

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Wow!

"Chris Dawson told his mother-in-law that the last time he had seen Lynette was earlier that morning when he dropped her at a bus stop, so she could return some clothes to a shop.

Shanelle recalls getting "in trouble" from her dad at the picnic when she challenged this version of events, which differed from her own recollections.

"He took me by the arm and took me away from whoever would have been there," she says"

From @DRT link.

Excerpt from Shanelle's book 'My Mother's Eyes' :

'We packed and moved to Queensland, along with Paul and his family and our Nandi & Pop (Shanelle's Dawson's grandparents). It must have been difficult for them to leave their other children and grandchildren behind. But as it was when they were kids, the 'twinnies' came first and where Chris and Paul went, Nandi and Pop followed.'

Remember the twinnies bank account? The one their wives couldn't touch.

The twinnies. OMFG!

I wonder how the other Dawson siblings felt about the privileged, golden haired twinnies.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

OMG! I didn't know the grandparents moved as well, to be near them.
If I was the rest of the siblings I would feel that I wasn't on the same level in their affections.

 

[Kemug]

OMG! I didn't know the grandparents moved as well, to be near them.
If I was the rest of the siblings I would feel that I wasn't on the same level in their affections.

Maybe it wasn't so much love and affection, but a response to manipulation?

and with good reason because it seems they weren't.

Wonder how elder, but not as popular as a twinnie, brother Peter initially felt about representing Chris at the inquests? He sure rose to the occasion on Chris' behalf when he got there though. Making an absolute fool of himself and constantly being ticked off for the unprofessional way he conducted himself.
