drsleuth,
Just checking: are you sure it was the 18th (Thursday 18 Sep 2014) when FFC remembered the two parked cars? She did the walk-through interview with police on the 18th too, reportedly.* In the tiny snippet of the walk-through video released to the public, FFC and a detective are shown standing directly across the road from where the cars would have been. Had FFC remembered them by then? Or was the trip to the airport after that, later the same day?
Thank you.

Stormbird, it's a bit unclear when exactly the FFC re-called the 2 cars. It was before the walk thru video. Not sure exactly what day they went to the airport.
She re-called the cars whilst driving from picking up a relative from Port Macquarie airport . First mention of the 2 cars was in a statement she made on the 18/9/14
This is what I have written down re the 2 cars from the FFC
12/9/2014
FFC :
Woke up to William & his sister giggling
I got up, walked to sliding door & opened up ( It's a habit )
FGM not yet up
Saw 2 cars
One was white, one was dark grey
White in front , grey behind
Parked in middle of the driveways
Thought odd, went back inside.
Mr Craddock asks " Why odd?" FFC replied " cars never parked on street, always park in driveways ( most driveways long ) . Never seen cars parked on side of road.
The coroner asked FFC " Did you see anyone in cars?" FFC answered " No , not from that distance"
MrCraddock : Did you notice anything about how close together they were ?"
FFC : they looked close together, gap maybe half a car length"
Mr Craddock : " As you sit here today, can you see them?"
FFC : Yes
Mr Craddock : " 14/9/2014 , first written statement about what occurred ( Doc # 63 ) - no mention of the cars?"
FFC: " Just didn't even think about it, with William missing, went right out of my brain"
Mr Craddock : " In a later statement you refer to the cars for the first time 18/9/2014"
FFC " I was driving to Port Macquarie airport to collect a family member & just has a flash of 2 cars as I was talking to my mum & Williams sister"
( FFC emotional )
FFC : " Got back to the house & ran to command post to tell about the cars, cop gave phone to look for cars. That night looked online to find examples of cars"
She also saw the cars again when playing with William near the trees..........
