There were certain parts like roasting pans that just weren't there.

And also the cops' bikes were not there.

So it was clear they hadn't been murdered there.

All they really had to go on were these trousers and

What they needed to find were the bikes.

If they found the bikes, then they might find the murder site.

So for the next week or so, they were looking.

They had Aboriginal trackers, and they actually, on the 18th of May, the same day that the funeral was held for these two police in Perth, 30,000 people turned out.

That was one in five people in Perth at that time.

So a massive outpouring of grief.

And this was a big story all over Australia.

So the trackers found the bikes.

And then they found close to the bikes, they found a camp.

And at the camp, there was these missing bits of the gold processing kit.

They also found tins of like empty food tins.

And they weren't just your baked beans.

They were fancy stuff like chicken, crab, asparagus.

So it's like, well, who in Kalgoorlie likes this fancy tucker?

They also found tire tracks, the tires were Dunlop, balloon tires they were called.

So they were fairly unusual as well, particularly at this time when there weren't that many cars.
