Yeah.

There was heaps of possible sightings.

So that was the frustrating thing with the police is the investigations officers refused to check any of the possible sightings.

I had a friend, Paul McDonald, he was living in Penang at the time and thankful for him and his family for being there because I would ring the police and try and beg them to go out to go, you know, someone's just, because I put my WhatsApp number on all the posters and so people would send in like multiple possible sightings.

I'd send it to the police and get no response and I'd try and call them, no response.

Yeah, so I'd have to use other means of friends like Paul McDonald to go, hey, bro, I've just got this.

You know, he'd be either out with his family or doing something and thankfully he would drop everything and go and check it out for me.

And again, the clash of emotions there of going, all right, possible sighting, this is awesome.

And it's like, no, it's not mum.

But the fact that the local people in Malaysia were actively helping, the only ones that were stopping us from getting any progress was the Malaysian police.

So after we finished all the searching and we always said like it was trying to find a needle in a haystack but we didn't know where the haystack was or if there was a needle in it was the best way to describe our search.

And then so three years later, so it was on 14th of June 2020, it was 7.34pm, I get a message to saying, are you Anna's family?

Yeah.

I said, yes, this is her son.

And then they started sending pictures of some items that they found.

Yeah.

And like looked at it and it was like, that's definitely mum.

So dad made mum a crucifix which she carried everywhere with her.

I gave mum a set of rosary beads from when I went to Italy.

seen her purse, see, like mum used to love Vic's vapour drops, would eat them like lollies.
