And the impression that the community was left with was that Catherine Burney was doing this

at the behest or to please or to keep David Burney happy.

But it was David Burney that gave up the accounts of what had actually happened to all of these women.

So this is later in 1986.

Yeah.

No, it was pushed by the defence.

Detective Sargent from Cold Case Review Team, who talked about the extensive measures that they'd taken to investigate Sharon Fulton's disappearance as a murder, he had said 1986 was a very busy year for missing ladies.

There were a lot of investigations into the Burneys, not just in 1986.

David Burney was interviewed afterwards for periods of time.

It's also understood that

He was even consulted by investigators when it came to the disappearances of three and the murders of two, or at least two of the girls or women that went missing from Claremont.

So there was a kind of understanding between investigators and David Burney, probably because he had been so forthcoming

in talking about the victims of himself and Catherine Burney.

And then it follows, well, if he was so forthcoming about them, why not talk about Sharon Fulton if he had done that?

Why hide that one or any others for that matter?

So the detective sergeant told the court there was no evidence to suggest or to support that the Burneys were involved in any others than they knew about.

And the defence lawyer actually put it to him, is it possible you were too narrow in your focus?

And he said, no.

It's something that the defence put up and the Burneys were notorious.

The crimes that they committed were so hideous and awful.
