00:11It's the Bermuda Triangle I've noticed.
00:14The Flinders Highway has had more people go missing than anywhere else in Australia.
00:24It is so isolated it's dangerous.
00:29Eleven unsolved murders on a lonely highway.
00:34This is Australia's most dangerous road, a serial killer's hunting ground.
00:40That's how serial killers work.
00:42They find a place and they just repeat, repeat, repeat.
00:49We're looking into five of those highway murders.
00:53Five women and girls killed in cold blood.
00:56The McCaw Sisters.
00:59Catherine Graham.
01:01Robin Hoyneville-Bartram and Anita Cunningham.
01:05We'll reinvestigate these murders and find their killer.
01:11Is it possible a serial killer is responsible for all of these deaths?
01:21It is a crime that fits his MO.
01:26Straight away she said, that's a cowboy.
01:30We couldn't find any answers.
01:33This giant question mark in this vast empty continent.
01:37We need to go that way.
01:39Finding Anita's remains is the ultimate goal for me.
01:42New information is being introduced into a murder case that's more than 50 years old.
01:49We've got a potential grave site.
01:53Police should go out there immediately.
01:59I couldn't believe it.
02:00He had a hit.
02:28The highway linking Townsville with Mount Isa.
02:31is known as the Flinders Highway.
02:34Long highways have huge stretches of nothing.
02:38That then gives an opportunity for an outback murderer.
02:44This stretch of road is the perfect hunting ground for an opportunistic predator.
02:53On this highway, the police hit dead end after dead end in their search for the killers.
03:00We're now bringing fresh ice to Australia's most troubling cold cases.
03:07My name is Mike King and I spent a career investigating serial predators.
03:12Much of that time was spent looking at and interviewing serial killers who worked along some of the most terrible
03:19highways and stretches of roadway in the world.
03:25As I gained more information about the victims along the Flinders Highway, I found myself asking is it possible that
03:33one predator is responsible for all of these deaths?
03:46In 1972, 18-year-olds Anita Cunningham and Robin Hoyneville-Bartram set off on an adventure together, hitchhiking all the
03:56way.
03:58These were two college kids that were living their dream, taking a little time off and learning more about the
04:07Australia that they grew up in.
04:09It was the era of, you know, flower power and love.
04:16Everybody was just totally rejecting anything that was normal, casting caution to the wind and just going for freedom.
04:24There were so many hitchhikers. It was about adventure. It was about being spontaneous.
04:35I'm David Cunningham. I'm the elder brother of Anita Cunningham.
04:41Anita was very bold, very bright, very confident, intelligent, happy sort of a personality.
04:53She was somebody who filled the room, really.
04:58Anita and I were very close growing up because there's only a year and a bit separating us in age.
05:08A very good friend of Anita, Robin Bartram, had moved down to Melbourne from Bowen in Queensland to attend art
05:16school and that's where Robin and Anita met.
05:19She was somebody that you would just warm to straight away and she was just very friendly.
05:25I remember Dad had told me that the girls wanted to go hitchhiking to Queensland and he was really worried
05:33about it and wanted me to try and convince the girls not to go, which I tried and they just
05:41were determined.
05:46Hitchhiking wasn't unusual for young people in those days, but David's parents begged Robin and Anita to reconsider.
05:54The girls had just turned 18 and it was their first trip away alone.
06:03The girls, much to the disapproval and intense efforts of discouragement by everybody, set off hitchhiking.
06:22Robin and Anita were never seen alive again.
06:30And that was it, they were gone.
06:35No money was drawn out of their bank accounts, no phone calls, nothing.
06:43For more than 50 years, David has searched for an answer.
06:48Who took the life of his sister?
06:52Who took the life of his sister?
06:54And Anita's disappearance affected the whole family really, you know, it's, it was scary.
07:06And after two weeks, Mum was really worried and went to police and police said, look, kids go missing all
07:16the time, don't worry about it.
07:17You know, they're old enough to look after themselves and go bother somebody else sort of thing.
07:24The days rolled into weeks, still no sign of the girls.
07:32Then on the 15th of November, five months after they set off, there was a shocking discovery.
07:41Railway workers discovered the body of Anita's friend, Robin, propped up against a pylon under a road bridge on the
07:49Flinders Highway.
07:51She'd been shot twice in the head.
08:00The individual who shot and killed Robin was very close.
08:06And that she was either in a position of kneeling and perhaps even begging for her life.
08:14She was unclothed from the waist down.
08:18One of the things that was so disturbing is it appeared that Robin was kneeling at the time that she
08:22was shot.
08:23The bullet wounds that entered her head entered just about the midline of the head, but they were only about
08:30a half an inch away from each other,
08:32which indicates that that person either had perfect aim or was incredibly close or that both rounds were shot in
08:44rapid succession.
08:49Robin was killed in cold blood.
08:53No clear motive.
08:54No sign of her travel companion, Anita.
09:00It wasn't until Robin's body was found that all of a sudden police decided they would put Anita onto the
09:11missing persons register.
09:15Five months had passed since the girl's disappearance.
09:20That's how much of a head start the killer had.
09:23In the early 70s, missing persons cases weren't given the priority they are today.
09:30I don't know how to describe the effect it has on a family.
09:36The effect of one of us being murdered, but also the effect of the complete silence.
09:47Finding Anita's remains is the ultimate goal for me because then we can bring them back and put them in
09:55the family grave with my mother and father.
10:06I'm looking into a couple of cases on the Flinders Highway and I'm hoping I could get a transcript for
10:12a coroner's report.
10:14I'm Amelia Roberhart and I'm an investigative journalist from Queensland.
10:20I've trawled through old newspaper stories.
10:23I've obtained court documents and police reports and have tracked down witnesses.
10:29What I know from my work investigating this cold case is that every killer does leave a footprint, some sort
10:37of clue somewhere.
10:46Our experts break new ground in the search for Anita.
10:50We need to go that way.
10:52Someone said to me, where do you think Anita Cunningham is?
10:55Where's her burial?
10:57I would say over there.
11:09Eleven people murdered or missing on one 900 kilometre stretch of road.
11:16I call it the murder highway.
11:18This is Australia's biggest cluster of unsolved murders.
11:24We're currently looking into five of those murders that took place in the same time period.
11:31The early 1970s.
11:34Could they be linked?
11:36What did the police miss?
11:38Our focus is the brutal case of teenagers Robin and Anita.
11:45The police had drawn a blank with the murder of teenager Robin Hoyneville-Bartram and the disappearance of her best
11:51friend Anita Cunningham.
11:53So I'm looking at other cases that might point to the same killer.
11:58And I found one from two years earlier.
12:07Two little girls, Judith and Susan Mackay were walking to school near Townsville, right at the eastern end of the
12:14Flinders Highway.
12:16When they disappeared, the sisters were just five and seven years old.
12:24The entire town was mobilised to try to find them.
12:33As a 17-year-old attending Pimlico State High School in Townsville, we were asked to help in the search
12:43for two young girls.
12:45Very hard for anybody to fathom why two young girls never made it to school that day.
12:51Two days after they disappeared, Judith and Susan's bodies were found 25 kilometres along the Flinders Highway.
13:02Innocent young girls, big man hunt, remote Australia.
13:07It had all the elements for a great story.
13:12I'm Max Tomlinson.
13:14I spent the greater part of my career working here in North Queensland running country newspapers.
13:21Still, I've got a mental picture of those little girls innocently,
13:25with their little sandwiches packed in their little lunch bags, their uniforms on.
13:29Mummy and Daddy, Dad had kissed them goodbye in the morning before he went off to work.
13:33In this case, locals identified a suspect.
13:36He was an active pedophile known to police, called Arthur Brown.
13:43Arthur Brown was a person of interest from day one.
13:46He worked for the Department of Works, which covered schools, hospitals,
13:51including the Aikenvale State School, where the little girls were students.
13:55So he would have had access to those girls on a daily basis.
14:00And then, of course, the investigation was botched to such an extent
14:04that Arthur Brown walked the streets of Townsville for the next 30 years
14:07and was never brought to justice.
14:10Police missed vital clues.
14:13They didn't have a case.
14:15To the disgust of the community, Arthur Brown walked free.
14:21He remains our number one suspect.
14:24What's more, we can link him to another female victim on the murder highway.
14:30Her name was Catherine Graham.
14:34Catherine Graham, she was selling encyclopedias.
14:42And of all the doors she knocked on,
14:45she knocked on that of Arthur Stanley Brown.
14:54In August 1975, Catherine's battered body was discovered dumped on the old Flinders Highway,
15:01very close to where the Mackay sisters were found.
15:05Arthur Brown was linked to both crimes.
15:09So that's too much of a coincidence for me to accept.
15:13Where was Brown at the time?
15:15Well, we don't know.
15:17The murder of Catherine Graham was never solved.
15:21But in 1998, there was a breakthrough in the murder of the two little girls found dumped on the Flinders
15:27Highway.
15:28Arthur Brown was arrested and charged with their murders.
15:39Almost 30 years after the battered bodies of two young sisters were found dumped in North Queensland,
15:45an elderly man accused of their murders has appeared in a Townsville court.
15:49The police had a witness who said Arthur Brown admitted to the murders.
15:55Numerous witnesses saw him with the girls.
15:59But the jury couldn't agree on a verdict.
16:03The case fell over.
16:05Arthur Brown walked free again.
16:12You know, sometimes the law works for us.
16:15Sometimes the law works against us.
16:20My name is Brennan Rook.
16:21I'm a former detective sergeant of the Queensland Police Homicide Squad.
16:25The landscape has changed since the murders.
16:30About 15 metres down the centre of the creek bed was where all the Mackay sisters' property was located.
16:36So we were looking at historical murders that could have been committed by Arthur Stanley Brown.
16:41We received information from a family member that Brown could be responsible for anywhere up to 11 murders.
16:50Now, if that's true, that would make Arthur Brown one of Australia's worst serial killers.
16:58The courts couldn't convict him and Arthur Brown took his dark secrets to the grave.
17:06But Arthur Brown stays on our list of prime suspects in at least three of the five highway murders from
17:13the 1970s that we're currently investigating.
17:17So it raises the question, could Arthur Brown be responsible for the deaths of Robin and Anita?
17:23There's no doubt Arthur Brown would have been the first person I'd interviewed in the investigation of those girls' murders.
17:30I'd certainly be knocking on Arthur Brown's door.
17:34So if Arthur Brown isn't our killer, who is?
17:39Arthur Brown was never interviewed by police about Robin's murder and Anita's disappearance.
17:45So the question remains, maybe we're looking in the wrong direction.
17:52Instead of looking for someone who lived in the area, maybe the serial killer was travelling through the Flinders Highway
17:59and took their chance.
18:12Our investigators have called it the murder highway.
18:16We're looking for links between the unsolved murders of the Mackay sisters, Catherine Graham,
18:22and the double murder David Cunningham most once solved.
18:28It would be enormous either to find Anita's remains or to have a lot more pieces of the jigsaw puzzle
18:36put in so we can at least see a rough picture.
18:43In 1972, Robin Hoyneville Bartram and Anita Cunningham set off hitchhiking on the Flinders Highway.
18:53Robin's body was found dumped underneath a Flinders Highway road bridge.
19:02This is the road bridge, and Robin Hoyneville Bartram was found beneath it.
19:08So she was found down there under Pylon 2.
19:13Anita's body has never been found.
19:17David Cunningham has committed his life to finding his little sister.
19:22We're a family with this big burning question, but we're being told by police nothing could be found, nobody saw
19:31anything, nobody knew anything.
19:34But in 2003, a new witness emerged.
19:39A woman contacted Crimestoppers saying she saw Robin and Anita in the tiny highway town of Pentland before they disappeared.
19:51What's more, she saw the girls with a man known as Cowboy.
20:03Once I came up here to Pentland and met, you know, started meeting people and everybody knew about it.
20:13Everybody had a story about it.
20:16The witness was a young local called Merle White.
20:20She met Robin and Anita at the Pentland Hotel in 1972.
20:25So Merle White, she was a young girl, about the same age as Anita and Robin.
20:32Merle remembered another person in the bar that day.
20:36Someone called him Cowboy.
20:39And Cowboy offered to give Robin and Anita a lift to the next town.
20:46Merle said that she always felt guilty that she hadn't insisted, you know, we'll take you.
20:57But she didn't.
20:59And then what happened happened.
21:05Later that night, young Merle White left the pub with her mother.
21:10What happened next is significant.
21:15Now, what becomes so intriguing is a short time later, she and her mother get in their vehicle.
21:21And as they're traveling along, as they reach Sensible Creek, they see Cowboy's vehicle turned so that it's broadside into
21:29oncoming traffic in a position where it would be T-boned on the Flinders Highway with its headlights facing toward
21:36the railroad tracks.
21:37Why would someone park across the road with their lights shining in this direction?
21:47I was absolutely convinced that Merle White was seeing things.
21:56After 30 years, memories are lost.
22:00Memory goes after the first 24 hours, let alone 30 years.
22:07And then I thought, hang on a minute.
22:09Why was Robin found naked from the waist down?
22:15And her lower clothes were not located.
22:21What I believe happened was somebody flew those doors open and she ran out.
22:28Anita ran too.
22:30One went this direction.
22:32One went that direction.
22:34With Robin's absent clothes, it was a rape or an attempted rape and she was shot.
22:47Merle White's eyewitness account suggests Anita ran into the bush near where Robin's body was discovered.
22:58Our team of experts is putting Merle's story to the test to try to find Anita's body.
23:08I'm Dr Louise Stedding.
23:10I'm an archaeologist and a criminologist.
23:13I read the landscape and then we work out the methods where we might be able to find someone.
23:23Dr Louise Stedding is an archaeologist and a criminologist.
23:27In her spare time, she researches cold cases right across the country.
23:32I like to think of her as sort of like a modern day Indiana Jones.
23:38Robin's body was found just as the wet season started and so that means she was buried in the dry.
23:48Could she have been simply even dropped off of the bridge and the water later moved her?
23:54No, no.
23:57Mike King is super interesting.
24:01He's a guy from the FBI and sometimes we agree, sometimes we don't agree.
24:09I think the killer was standing on the ledge here and shot her downwards into the skull.
24:17That's execution style.
24:20Now the horrible thing about this is it means that Robin was looking at her killer.
24:27So it's not only that she was shot, she was looking at her killer.
24:33I still have nightmares about it, but our job is not to wonder about how terrible it was.
24:40Our job is to try and find Anita's remains.
24:48It's a mystery that is about to be blown wide open.
24:53That's him.
24:54That's the guy.
24:56Straight away she said, that's Cowboy.
25:08After decades of silence, a witness came forward.
25:13Merle White told police she was there in 1972.
25:18Merle saw hitchhikers Robin and Anita leave the Pentland Hotel with a mystery man known only as Cowboy.
25:27I have been so intrigued by this Cowboy because it would take some time before they discovered that Cowboy was
25:35a nickname for a man who became one of the most notorious serial killers in Australia.
25:44Cowboy's identity was wildly revealed in 2003 when Merle White sitting in her living room watching the TV with her
25:53husband eating dinner and up he pops.
25:56It's the man she recognised from that night at the Pentland Hotel when she was with Robin and Anita.
26:03Merle White was my wife, my late wife.
26:10This fellow came up in TV like that and she said straight away she said, that's Cowboy.
26:26Merle's daughter and husband have told me that they were watching TV and Ivan Milat came on the TV and
26:35Merle said, that's him, that's the guy, that's Cowboy.
26:38Cowboy.
26:41Evidence has begun in the backpacker murder trial.
26:45She had no reason to tell lies.
26:49And that's what caused her to go to Crimestoppers but unfortunately again it didn't go anywhere.
26:58Police just didn't take this seriously and to be honest I get why.
27:05When I first heard Ivan's name connected to this case, I thought there's no way a New South Wales serial
27:12killer can be responsible for murdering two women on a remote Queensland highway.
27:17It just couldn't be right.
27:20Ivan Milat was convicted of murdering seven backpackers in 1996.
27:25Their remains were discovered in the now infamous Pelangelo State Forest which is near Goulburn in New South Wales.
27:35Ivan Milat died six years ago and never confessed to a single murder, let alone any extra murders.
27:42So if we're going to connect Milat to the death of the girls, we're going to have to dig a
27:47lot deeper to establish where he even was during that time.
27:55There's a myth out there that Ivan Milat's responsible for every crime everywhere.
27:59But what we need to do is look at were there any crimes in those areas at that time that
28:06fit his method of operating, his MO, his modus operandi and the answer is yes.
28:15I'm Jeremy Buckingham, I'm a politician and member of parliament and I've been looking into the true extent of Ivan
28:21Milat's crimes and looking at the numbers of murdered and missing people across this country.
28:26Who as an adult dresses up as a cowboy?
28:31Ivan Milat did.
28:34And so it fits that he's using the name cowboy.
28:42This is what we do know.
28:45Less than a year before Anita and Robin were killed, Ivan Milat picked up two other young female hitchhikers.
28:52In 1971, Ivan Milat picks up two young women, 18 years old.
29:05He threatened to murder the women and violently raped one of them.
29:10But they managed to escape.
29:16Years later, when Milat was safely behind bars, the women went public with their harrowing story.
29:25I've never been so sure in my life that I was in the hands of a murderer.
29:29I have never doubted from the time he told us how we were going to die.
29:37I had a feeling about him all the time as though there was something very wrong with him.
29:45When I researched this old Milat case, I got chills.
29:49These two victims, Margaret and Greta, were the exact same age as Robin and Anita.
29:55Just 18.
29:57And they were also hitchhiking.
29:59They probably would have been murdered if they hadn't escaped.
30:03But Ivan Milat beat those charges and then he went on the run.
30:06And there's evidence he was in Queensland at the time our girls, Anita and Robin, go missing.
30:17This is the ignition Jeremy Buckingham needs to get the case reopened.
30:23He was on the run.
30:24We know he was up in Queensland.
30:28Ivan Milat had significant links to Queensland.
30:33He was driving trucks there.
30:34He was working on a road gang.
30:38There's a good case to be made that he was in the area.
30:42And the manner of Robin's death, bullet holes in the back of the skull,
30:48is consistent with how Milat murdered some of his victims.
30:56Back then, Milat was in his late 20s.
30:59And he went for a very specific type of victim.
31:03Pairs of people.
31:05Just like Robin and Anita.
31:1021-year-old British backpacker Caroline Clarke was the first to be found in September 1992,
31:16nearby the remains of her 22-year-old Welsh friend Joanne Walters.
31:21A year later, the bodies of 19-year-old Victorians Deborah Everest and James Gibson were uncovered,
31:27and Gabor Neugebar and his girlfriend, 20-year-old Anja Habshid.
31:31We see a pattern of behaviour.
31:33You don't have too many serial killers abducting couples.
31:37At that time, they formed a major task force, Task Force AIR.
31:42So what they did, they looked at who was missing and where there were other unsolved homicides that looked like
31:49this.
31:50So they drew up a list.
31:52Now, we've only just revealed that list for the very first time through my work in Parliament.
31:58And Anita and Robin are on that list.
32:02Malat was on the Flinders Highway in 1972.
32:07He had form, violent crimes against women, and he liked to target backpackers.
32:14Jeremy Buckingham is convinced that Ivan Malat killed Robin and Anita.
32:21The MO with Anita and Robin matches exactly the MO of Ivan Malat.
32:28He took two young backpackers into the forest and he would kill one, possibly in front of the other one,
32:35execution style,
32:38and then take the other one just a short distance away.
32:43So if we found one body in Queensland, it's reasonable we look in the same spot for the other bodies.
32:51And it's exactly what we should be doing.
32:55Back in 1972, police searched the area where Robin's body was discovered looking for Anita's body.
33:04But Merle's eyewitness account suggested Anita fled into the bush on much higher ground than the creek bed where Robin
33:12was discovered.
33:15Now, I'm not saying that police didn't do their job.
33:19They certainly gave it a good shot.
33:21My goodness.
33:23But I do believe she's somewhere along here on higher ground.
33:29But where is the question?
33:32It's really, really important.
33:35And in my view, we need to go that way.
33:38We need to go on the high ground that way.
33:41And we need to follow the water flow that way.
33:44If we can find Anita's body, then David Cunningham can finally put his sister to rest and put her with
33:52their mum and dad.
33:55What I do is to try and work out a layer cake of method.
34:00The first that we tried were the cadaver dogs.
34:05They look for skeletal remains, human bone.
34:12The first dog, Rufus, I couldn't believe it.
34:17He had a hit.
34:20He had a hit.
34:35Two women went missing.
34:37One is Robin Wynneville Bartram and her body was found beneath the road bridge.
34:45The other woman is Anita Cunningham and she's never been found.
34:54Finding Anita's remains is the ultimate goal for me.
34:59Mike and Louise are looking for Anita's body in an area police have never searched before.
35:06Thanks to a clue in Merle White's eyewitness account that suggests Anita could have run into bushland on higher ground.
35:15If Anita is there and we find her within a hundred metres of Robin,
35:24it corroborates everything that Merle White said about Ivan Milat.
35:34After 50 years of letdowns from the police investigations, David isn't holding his breath.
35:42I've had false leads before, you know.
35:45We'll see.
35:52I couldn't believe it. He had a hit.
35:59Rufus has shown an indication over near the tree.
36:03We believe that there is human remains to be investigated in that spot.
36:08So how do you know that the dog is actually indicating human remains
36:14and not animal bones or something else?
36:18Rufus is a single purpose trained dog, so his only job is cadaver work, human remains detection.
36:25Look, I'm a skeptic.
36:28I'm still not satisfied.
36:30When you're on a site where you think there might be a body,
36:34nah, that would be too good to be true.
36:37What we might do later is bring out another dog.
36:41Yeah, I like that idea.
36:41I'm looking forward to seeing what the next dog has to show.
36:47Let's get it.
36:49Come on.
36:53The next dog, one dog gone, next dog down to verify the finds or refute them.
36:59It's just all collecting data.
37:07But as it turned out, she agreed with him, and she went to the same area.
37:14How'd you go?
37:15There was a lot of interest, and for him that was him staying in that one area for quite a
37:21long time,
37:22and really trying to pinpoint it.
37:24It's well worth investigating more.
37:28Two separate cadaver dogs pinpoint the same area.
37:33Louise is a forensic archaeologist and wants to test the dog's finding with two other methods,
37:39to see if they really have located a grave.
37:46The dogs have narrowed it down.
37:49The next one is to pull out the metal detector and close in.
37:56This particular metal detector can differentiate between about 40 types of metals.
38:03We want to see the gold, the silver for jewellery.
38:08We want to see brass for shell casings.
38:14So it is between here and here somewhere.
38:19And to our surprise, we got some strikes there too.
38:26We have metal hits, so what we want is another type of hit.
38:36So we move and we go to the ground-penetrating radar.
38:42Because metal detectors don't go down very far,
38:46ground-penetrating radar gives us that extra depth.
38:51When the radar sends down a signal striking a surface of a different density,
38:59we get a reading back.
39:02What did you see?
39:05This particular one is what you'd expect for bone.
39:11Suspicious.
39:13OK, so 10 and it was flagged.
39:18This is a huge breakthrough.
39:22Both dogs independently detect human remains.
39:26Then, in the same location as those cadaver dogs,
39:30the ground-penetrating radar gets a positive reading.
39:34For bones.
39:37We have come closer this time than actually anyone has come in the last 50 years.
39:46Someone said to me,
39:47where do you think Anita Cunningham is?
39:50Where's her burial?
39:52I would say, over there.
39:54That's what I'd say.
39:56I believe very strongly, and I'm a skeptic,
40:00she's over there.
40:08So, she might still be up there.
40:10Louise, I just can't describe how grateful I feel,
40:17and how other people feel for what she does,
40:20because it gives me a sense of hope.
40:28I'm very lucky, so is my sister.
40:34We've got a potential grave site.
40:37Police should go out there immediately.
40:52You have to think about whether there's intimate knowledge of the road,
40:57or they stumble across and it's just opportunistic.
41:00I think there's intimate knowledge.
41:04After 50 years of false leads and misplaced hope,
41:09David Cunningham believes our investigation has brought him closer to finding his missing little sister.
41:17He could be the closest anybody who's come in the last 50 years.
41:24It's filled me with promise and hope, I suppose.
41:33Today was incredibly interesting.
41:36New information is being introduced into a criminal case,
41:39a murder case that's more than 50 years old.
41:45We will collate all of that and give it to police,
41:48and we will also give it to the coroner.
41:53This is where two cadaver dogs and radar equipment have positively identified human remains.
42:00I think this site is one for a machine.
42:06I don't have the muscle or power to remove all that bulk soil, nor would I want to.
42:13That's the job of the police and forensics.
42:19We've got a potential grave site.
42:22The Queensland police should go out there and have a look at this site immediately.
42:30The evidence is so strong and so compelling, pointing to Ivor Millat being the one that murdered Anita,
42:38that Jeremy Buckingham is taking this all the way to Parliament.
42:42It's thanks to the new evidence that our investigation has uncovered.
42:52Louise and David are bringing the findings to State Parliament.
42:58G'day, David. How are you? Lovely to meet you.
43:01Hello, Louise. Lovely to meet you.
43:03Welcome.
43:03No problem at all.
43:05Come on in, New South Wales Parliament.
43:09Now it's Jeremy Buckingham's job to put this new evidence on the public record
43:14and call for Queensland police to finally step up.
43:19I am convinced that human remains are there.
43:25If we can hold a commission of inquiry, we can uncover further clues.
43:30The task force air in 1993 asked all the other police forces what other murders look like this at Belangelo
43:38and they came up with Anita and Robyn's case.
43:42Now when we look at, yes, they did.
43:44That's why I want to raise this in Parliament.
43:47That's why I'm doing this.
43:53Nobody has done more work on the Ivan Milad cold cases than Jeremy Buckingham.
43:58And he's urging justice for Robyn and Anita.
44:03Thank you. The Honourable Jeremy Buckingham.
44:07This house calls on the Queensland Government and police to
44:10a expedite the excavation and possible gravesite of Anita Cunningham
44:16B, initiate a commission of inquiry to establish what happened to his sister
44:21and why he, like hundreds of other families of missing persons of Australia,
44:25have been left to investigate the case himself.
44:39We gave up hope right in the beginning when we were told nothing could be found.
44:47We couldn't find any answers, this giant question mark in this vast empty continent.
44:55And now I won't give up hope.
45:05Justice needs to be, needs to be done, it's screaming to be, to be done.
45:22Theacker is notường called permission, do you think we ought to find a table that
45:24may be discovered right in this part of a way of a good zombie suffering,
45:32I mean, all of this is just one of our stops.
