had described them as reprehensible, persistent, and numerous.
In the end, Coroner O'Sullivan dedicated part of her findings to a discussion about the topic of lies and how they should be interpreted.

And they may have a reason for lying, other than trying to conceal their guilt, such as panic.
Or escaping blame for something they didn't do.

She wasn't satisfied on the balance of probabilities that Toby's lies could be taken as consciousness of guilt.
The coroner recommended Simone's case be moved to a different police department.
She said it should now be handed over to the New South Wales Police Unsolved Homicide Unit.
Most people know it as the cold case unit.

The coroner didn't comment on the adequacy of the police investigation.
saying it wasn't a matter for her inquest.
She noted a comment from Strickland that arguably police could have focused more on other persons of interest.
The coroner said that although Heath and Phil both seemed earnest and genuine in their stories about the alleged confessions, it was implausible that both Jamie Vidler and Gus Parker could have both been involved because there was no evidence they knew each other.
The coroner also said the reports about the Green Brothers seem to be largely based on secondhand reports and rumours.
Like Toby.
None had been linked forensically to the crime scene.
