Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

And they're adamant that she wouldn't have left Kirstie behind if something bad was happening to her. You know, it's just your heart goes out. It's horrible and heartbreaking.

Yeah.

Yeah.

In addition, Kirstie's parents say that their little girl is exceptionally shy and would never willingly go off with some stranger. You know, so it all adds up that this is an abduction. Yeah. So there's also this story, another witness, a man named Ken Wooling, is at the stadium, is the stadium's assistant curator.

He says at the end of the third quarter at about 4 p.m., he saw two girls he believed to have been Joanne and Kirstie outside the stadium. There's this whole thing about like there were these stray kittens and some kids were trying to coax out the kittens and there's this weird guy around them. The timelines don't totally add up. We think Anthony's story is 100% true.

This one, if you piece it in time-wise, it makes sense, but only if it happened before what Anthony saw. So it's possible as well. Police put out a composite sketch of this man and, of course, asked that he come forward so he can be eliminated, but nobody does. Police put out a call for tips, and more than 400 people come forward.

And there's a lot more details in the case file episode about witnesses and possible sightings, but I'm not going to go into all of them. There are some credible tips, including a few people who saw a man with a similar description with two little girls. There's also a ransom call to the family that's believed to be a hoax and is never traced.

A $5,000 reward is announced for information leading to the recovery of the girls. In today's dollars, that would be worth about... $5,000 Australian dollars in the 70s? Uh-huh.

28 grand for two missing little girls who have been abducted from a stadium, potentially. The public is a little like, what the fuck? That's really low over this. Right. So that's partly because of what I'm going to tell you next. So there's this brazen daytime kidnapping in a very public place. It's obviously terrifying for the public. Right. Which is why it's partly such a big deal.

It's like it's not it's just so brazen. Right. You know, but it's also alarming in the fact that it's not unfamiliar because there's a recent case in the area that still looms large in everyone's mind. And people wonder if there's a connection.
