Before you don hockey masks and grab your machetes, maybe you'd like to know why there's such a taboo surrounding a month's 13th day falling on a Friday.

Murdoch himself is not attending the appeal hearing.

If there's one big outstanding question, it's why did these poor kids get targeted by someone?

None of the camera footage will answer that question.

And in fact, those questions may never be answered.
