And who told them?
Was it my grandparents by slip of mouth or was it, you know, a family member?
Was it a friend?
During the actual trial, a number of things came out about, you know, various people who could have potentially said something or been involved.
And at this stage, we don't expect that we may never know, unless, of course, the two offenders are the only two who do know.
If they truly are remorseful and in a position to tell us how they had found out, I think that would be the end of, after obviously the sentencing for the Who Killed Emma campaign and for what had happened to my grandparents in 1999.
It's very important.
I think it was more so the fact of just knowing now who.
Not knowing who it was for 25 years before they had been arrested is obviously something that was much harder to live with.
But, you know, certainly having a conviction, having them behind bars, and there are members of the family who would quite openly say to you that they want them to die behind bars now.
More so for myself, it's just justice that now it's finally been served.
Obviously, again, all depending on what the sentencing is going to be in August this year.
Thank you, Stockie.
And I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you again to people like Elizabeth and James for the work that they do.
But also, I've been quite vocal recently for the Australian Federal Police and for the Director of Public Prosecutions Office.
I mean, without people who work so hard, and they have, to bring about the conviction of these two murderers, as in our eyes, we call them murderers, even though it's manslaughter.
We are eternally grateful to these people and I'd just like to again acknowledge them and say thank you to them and everybody who's ever been involved in our case and to the listeners at home too.
There are a lot of people who have been following the Who Killed Irma campaign for many, many years and it means a lot to us to have their support for so long and say thank you, thank you to them all.
Thank you, Elizabeth.
