A sister's promise | 12
Kristy Childs’ words to her dying father Graham echo through the years. “I remember one of the last things I said to him was, I'll find him.” Graham, who died of brain cancer during the pandemic, never lived to see anyone charged over Rachelle’s murder. Yet his determination to uncover the truth passed firmly to Kristy. Meanwhile, specialist cadaver dogs from Search Dogs Sydney search Rachelle’s old car on Kristy’s farm. Kristy hopes for answers, but isn't sure how she’ll feel if the car was used to move her sister’s body. At the inquest, new testimony casts doubt on Kevin Steven Correll’s alibi on the night Rachelle went missing. And a former car yard worker reveals that just days after Rachelle’s death, a key suspect was already talking about bikies being responsible.
