Their daily habit of taking a walk together every afternoon had recently been disrupted by the heavy rain Perth was experiencing, but on Friday August 16, the sun was shining. The pair set off sometime after 3pm. They liked to stroll down the road where they lived, which was called Hawken Street, to the banks of the Swan River.

The couple kept a little fishing boat down there, which they would check on and they'd also stop to chat to neighbours they met along the way. On this particular Friday, they turned left upon reaching the river and walked up towards Canning Bridge. As they ambled along, they noticed that one of the trees along the path had several limbs snapped off.

Car tracks were visible in the ground leading towards it. The couple wondered if there had been an accident and whether the driver had been hurt. After walking about 500 metres along the riverbank, William and Cecilia turned left at Rookwood Street to make a loop home. Pale pink native wildflowers were growing in abundance all along the street and Cecilia decided to pick some.

As she reached up to take a sprig, something on the ground slipped and brushed Cecilia's knee. It was the butt of a rifle. Shocked, Cecilia pushed the firearm back under the bush before telling William, There's a rifle here. After taking a look for himself, William suggested they take it home to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands.

As neither of them held gun licences, Cecilia opposed this plan. Instead, when they got home, she reported the discovery to the police. It was a 22-gauge Winchester rifle, different from the Lithgow single-shot rifle used in the Australia Day shootings. Still, it was worth investigating. Officers searched the entirety of Rookwood Street but didn't find a single cartridge.

However, the rifle was still loaded with a single bullet. When police test-fired the weapon, they found that the copper-nosed bullet had the same markings as the one taken from Shirley MacLeod's body. They had found the weapon used by her killer. It turned out that the rifle was registered to a former Olympic swimmer named Garrick Agnew. Garrick had spent the last month and a half overseas.

When he'd returned home just a few days earlier, he'd discovered that his Winchester rifle was missing from the bedroom cupboard where he kept it. Nothing else had been taken from the home, including a second rifle that was stored in another room. Garrick had reported the rifle stolen on Tuesday August 13.
