She's buried in a tapu area on private Māori land.

At the time when I heard this, I couldn't really make sense of it, because I didn't know what I know now.

But many months later, I circled back to that call in my mind, and it started to make sense.

Now make from that what you will.

A call from a random person is not proof of anything.

But given what has eventually transpired, it fits.

There are many pieces to this puzzle, and I'm going to try to put them together the best I can, because frankly, the stakes are very high.

But the single most important aspect of all these little pieces of the puzzle is that they all happened independently of each other.

At the time each piece came forward, I had released none of what is now known about Matoda Bay publicly.

This would not become public until I assisted police in obtaining a search warrant in August of 2024.

But we'll get to that.

Now, we're going to hear from another person.

Again, someone who contacted me independently, knowing nothing of what I've just said.

And what she wanted to speak about was Matilda Bay, and an experience she had in the early 2000s.

Remember, this interview was recorded in December of 2024.

Heidi was known to have been dragged across that paddock by her hair.

There's a grave down there with two people in it.

To be clear, this grave that's being referred to is just above the high tide mark in the sand dunes on the private beach at Matoda Bay.

And then so after you leave there this obviously bothers you so what did you do then?

So here's the, obviously that's the beach.
