"The mother-of-three was facing a $100,000 tax debt and was killed two days before a hearing on the matter, where she had been threatening to blow the whistle on illicit dealings by politicians, businessmen and police.

However, no bag or purse was found at the murder scene.
Ms Jackson said police later pushed her to change her story so it did not include the bag, which was found at the house in South Perth the next morning.

Police also conducted a ballistic test to see if Ms Black had shot a firearm and tested some of her clothes.
One outfit was found to have blood which matched both her and Ms Finn's blood type.
Ms Black did not provide any explanation for the stains.

Lawyers pushed Ms Black on why Ms Finn would ask her to leave the house that night, as it had meant leaving her 12-year-old daughter home alone.

She was asked why she had checked into a hotel on Hay Street after leaving her friend's place around midnight.

The court also heard the friend Ms Black said she had gone to see had written a statement saying she had not been home that night.
Ms Shewring has long believed her mother's ex-girlfriend has been hiding something."

Possibly getting to the point of me suggesting that the ABC might be milking this story a bit

"He told the court he believed the former head of the Vice Squad, Bernie Johnson, had organised to have Ms Finn killed, but was unwilling to explain what led him to believe that.
Mr Properjohn repeatedly told the court it was just his "instinct".
But when the counsel assisting the coroner, Toby Bishop, asked him if he was afraid to tell the court why he believed Mr Johnson was involved, he replied, "maybe a little — yeah"

The witness was questioned over an incident he later told to Ms Finn's daughter, Bridget Shewring, when he had been punched in the stomach by a detective when giving a statement in 1975.
He said it happened while giving one of two statements at the East Perth police station, but provided little other details.

Mr Properjohn insisted to the court that Mr Johnson was not one of the detectives who interviewed him, but the Vice Squad boss was included as one of two detectives conducting the interview on the police statement.

He said he had heard through some of the women who worked at Ms Finn's brothel that she the madam paid Mr Johnson "protection money".

Mr Properjohn also admitted that he was afraid of police in those days.
Mr Crowley asked if being a homosexual — a criminal offence in 1975— left Mr Properjohn vulnerable to corrupt police, but he said it did not.
The witness was questioned closely on his statements made in 1975, in which he said he had been at the University of WA the night Ms Finn was killed.
The court heard a toilet block there was known as a "beat" for homosexual activity.
A previous witness, Peter Burns, was a security guard at the Crawley campus who said in court he saw Ms Finn there that night.
He was also asked about his 1975 statement which placed him at the Parklane apartments on Mounts Bay Road the night Ms Finn was killed — the same apartments where her girlfriend at the time, Rose Black, said she had been."

"He had the evil eye look, my hair stood on end.

"He wasn't just saying it, he really looked at me, I believed he meant it."

She told the court she was fearful for her life and went to the police, telling them everything she knew about the corruption over a 40-hour period.

She said soon after, a man punched her in the face while she was closing her brothel and told her it was a message from the police.

Ms Watson said she went public the next day, airing her story on commercial TV.

Murderer interview over 2005 disappearance
nine.com.au/Australian Associated Press
January 23, 2018 4:54pm

‘Queensland detectives hope to question a convicted rapist and murderer as they continue investigations into the 2005 disappearance of a Melbourne mother who vanished from the state's north.

Katie O'Shea* was last seen at Atherton, southwest of Cairns, in December 2005 and Queensland police have travelled to Perth to interview Francis John Wark, who was on Monday convicted of murdering West Australian teenager Hayley Dodd.

They believe the 61-year-old may be able to shed light on what happened to Ms O'Shea after she left a bottle shop in the company of two men.

"It's a current police investigation," a Queensland police spokeswoman said.

"It's up to him if he wants to talk."’

‘Wark, who has served time over a 2007 Queensland rape, was found by WA Supreme Court Justice Lindy Jenkins to have lured Hayley into a ute near rural Badgingarra late on the night of July 29, 1999.

"The accused was the type of person who would be likely to pick up a lone female hitchhiker and violently and seriously assault her," Justice Jenkins said.

"This would be for the purpose of subduing her or overpowering her so that she was incapable of resisting him and so that he could rape her."’

Any luck?
I assumed this was what you were talking about when you posted about Lake Gwelup on the CSK thread, but WS removed my question for some reason.
It'd be hard to guess what happened to her IMO.
