00:00Sarah Myles' family say the mother of three made an impact on everyone she met.
00:08They've also thanked the neighbour who raised the alarm and made that triple zero call in
00:12the early hours of yesterday morning.
00:15And it's that call, and the delayed response of almost an hour, that are now the subject
00:19of an independent investigation.
00:22The New South Wales police minister, Yasmin Catley, has assured the family that they will
00:27get to the bottle of what happened during that hour, and that's a sentiment that was
00:31reiterated by the government earlier today.
00:34This incident will be forensically examined in that critical incident investigation.
00:39There are concerns about the delay here, and that'll be the forum to really test exactly
00:43what has happened.
00:44The man charged with her murder, 31-year-old Dwayne John Creighton, will appear in Liswar
00:49local court again tomorrow.
