“She was 17 when she disappeared, we are now into our 17th year,” Margaret Dodd says. “That’s her full lifetime”...

The Dodd family might now be one step closer to finding answers about Hayley’s disappearance.

They will be facing accused Francis John Wark at a Perth court on September 28 for a committal hearing which will determine if there’s enough evidence against him to stand a trial.

A Perth court has been told expert evidence is causing delays in the case of the man accused of murdering teenager Hayley Dodd 17 years ago.

The next court appearance for Wark is on November 30th.

The alleged killer of schoolgirl Hayley Dodd has officially pleaded not guilty to the charge of her wilful murder – and has indicated that he wants to be tried in court by a judge alone...

Supreme Court Justice Bruno Fiannaca, who before becoming a judge last year was the prosecutor for the case, was told that the trial is due to last seven weeks, with dates hoped for in October.

Francis John Wark to argue for judge-alone trial

http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/western-australia/francis-john-wark-to-argue-for-judgealone-trial/news-story/04038b5cc229e59faf7ca054f49f4be1

The man accused of murdering missing teenager Hayley Dodd will face a two-day hearing next month to argue for a judge alone trial, with his lawyer citing concerns publicity surrounding the case could prejudice a jury.

When he appeared in the WA Supreme Court by video-link from Acacia prison on Thursday, Mr Wark's lawyer Darryl Ryan said his client's application for a judge-alone trial would be centred around press reports about Mr Wark and Hayley's suspected murder.

During the hearing, Justice Stephen Hall revealed the State would rely on a number of statements made by witnesses who have since died, which Mr Ryan said he did not oppose.

Justice Hall will consider Mr Wark's application for trial by judge alone on May 22 and 23.

"THE criminal history of Francis John Wark - the man accused of murdering missing teenager Hayley Dodd – will be included in his trial later this year, which will be heard by a judge alone.

WA’s Supreme Court said today that Mr Wark’s application that he should be tried without a jury because of the extensive publicity surrounding the case had been granted.

And Justice Janine Pritchard also ruled that so-called “propensity evidence”, which details former crimes which may have relevance to guilt in the current accusations, will also be permitted to be used by prosecutors.

Mr Wark has pleaded not guilty to murder and is due to go to trial in October.

Mr Wark’s lawyer Darryl Ryan has previously said that his client’s application for a trial without a jury was lodged because of “concerns” about publicity surrounding the case.

He was remanded in custody to appear in court again next week."

"Court documents reveal that prosecutors will be able to use evidence given by a woman known as Ms D, a hitchhiker who was raped and assaulted by Wark in Queensland.

The assault was described as ‘humiliating, denigrating and violent’.

Wark was sent to prison in relation to her assault in 2007.

The State’s case relies in part on an earring and a hair found in Wark’s ute following Ms Dodd’s disappearance on July 29, 1999.

In the document, Justice Janine Pritchard called the State’s case circumstantial, considering Ms Dodd disappeared and her body had never been found.

Justice Pritchard said Ms D’s evidence showed a propensity on the part of Wark to commit crimes of violence against women in circumstances where he had given a lift to that woman.

The State will be able to use Ms D’s evidence Justice Pritchard ruled.


Evidence the State intended to use, where Wark told an associate “well if it was me I’d throw her under here”, was rejected by Justice Pritchard.

It was also ruled the State will be able to use evidence submitted by five witnesses who have since died.

Wark was extradited from Queensland in 2015 and charged with the murder of Ms Dodd.

His Badgingarra home was searched after Ms Dodd went missing and again in 2013, though Wark no longer owned the home.

Ms Dodd’s mother Margaret started a petition to haveno body, no parole legislation introduced*to Parliament.

She received support from Sarah Spiers and Craig Puddy’s families, whose bodies have also never been found.

The State Government fulfilled an election promise by introducing the legislation to Parliament."

"In her judgment on Wednesday, Justice Pritchard noted Wark's ute was seized the month after Ms Dodd disappeared and an earring was found caught up in a car seat cover.

No DNA was recovered from it but prosecutors say the jewellery matched a drawing, made by a friend of Ms Dodd's, of earrings she was believed to have been wearing at the time she vanished.

Defence counsel, however, says earrings of the same description were sold in the area.

A hair recovered from the ute was forensically examined and produced a mitochondrial profile, which the state says was consistent with Ms Dodd and her mother.

"The state's case is a wholly circumstantial one," Justice Pritchard said.

"Given Ms Dodd has disappeared, and her body has not been found, the state needs to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it was Mr Wark who killed Ms Dodd and that he intended to do so."

Quote from article :"It includes revelations that Mr Wark contacted police in the days after Hayley disappeared, was interviewed and had his ute seized.
During a police search of the vehicle, an earring was found in the fabric of a seat cover which the State says matches a drawing made by a friend of earrings Hayley was believed to have been wearing at the time she disappeared.
A hair found in the vehicle at the same time has been forensically examined and produced a mitochondrial DNA profile which the State says is consistent with Hayley and her mother, Margaret.
An expert witness is expected to testify that the results of nuclear DNA testing on the hair provides “extremely strong support” for the conclusion that a majority of the DNA within the sample originated from Hayley."

Hayley Dodd was lured into car, murdered within two hours: prosecution

http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/hayley-dodd-was-lured-into-car-murdered-within-two-hours-prosecution-20171009-gyx7iy.html

Her body and belongings have never been found, except for - the state alleges - a distinctive earring she was wearing at the time of her disappearance that was found in the vehicle of the man accused of murdering her, Francis Wark.

The 61-year-old on Monday stood trial in the Supreme Court of Western Australia by judge alone, 18 years after Hayley's disappearance.

In 2007, he raped a Queensland woman he picked up while she was hitchhiking.

Ms Burrows said the state will use the rape conviction as propensity evidence Mr Wark was capable of picking up a hitchhiker and sexually assaulting them.

The state will also rely on evidence Mr Wark asked the Queensland woman for her earring.

"He had a tendency to keep a trophy, a trophy of his violent conduct towards women," Ms Burrows said.

We are all behind you Mrs Dodd and family. This needs to be jailed for life. He is a threat to women everywhere.

Hayley Dodd murder trial hears of hitchhiker's last moments with missing WA teenager
ABC News
EMILY PIESSE
14 MINUTES AGO (as at 17:16 AEST 10 October 2017)

‘Witness Lisa Frederickson — who was staying at a caravan park in the Mid West town of Dongora with Ms Dodd — told the court the teenager had planned to go to Badgingarra for a few days to visit friends, but was intending to return to Dongara so they could continue their trip together.

The pair had hitchhiked from Mandurah to Dongara to work as rouseabouts for a shearing team.

Ms Frederickson — who now lives in Queensland — told the court she gave Ms Dodd her pocketknife and about $5 in change to phone the caravan park when she reached Badgingarra.’

‘Ms Frederickson also told the court the pair had gone shopping for jewellery in Dongara two days before Ms Dodd disappeared.

The mother-of-five said Ms Dodd bought a pair of silver cross earrings with a turquoise stone in the middle.’

‘The court yesterday heard how an earring was found in 2013 during a review of police exhibits when the bench seat cover of the utility Wark was driving at the time was examined.

Prosecutors allege Wark forcibly removed the earring due to a "tendency" to keep jewellery as a "trophy of his violent conduct against women".’

I don't know about the jewellery being in the car being seen as a trophy?? Sounds like he didn't know about it or he would have kept it somewhere safe.

 

[Froglady]

Unless he was keeping it but it got lost on his drive back.

Earring in Dodd accused's car 'common'
7 News/AAP
4:04pm AEDST (11 October 2017)

‘A convicted rapist accused of murdering West Australian teenager Hayley Dodd has argued an earring that was discovered in his car, and matched the style she was wearing when she went missing, are commonly found.’

‘Helen Louise James, who ran the Tree Frog new age products store in Dongara where Hayley bought ankh-shaped earrings two days before her disappearance, told the WA Supreme Court on Wednesday they were mass-produced, very popular and would have been sold at similar shops.

The earrings, depicting an ancient Egyptian symbol representing life, are one of two key pieces of physical evidence against Wark in a case defence counsel Darryl Ryan describes as entirely circumstantial.’

‘Ms James was shown a photograph of that earring and said the pair Hayley bought were "very similar".

She previously told police they were "identical".’

Mr Ryan argues the state cannot prove the earring belonged to Hayley.
