And just as she spoke to me, I just got this wallop down my arm, into the ditch, and the car never stopped.

There was quite a wait for the ambulance.

I think I can remember seeing eventually the blue lights of the ambulance coming down the road.

Gillian was taken to Lachlanstown Hospital.

James has found a record of this, which is held by the hospital.

At the hospital, there was one more detail about the car.

What I do recall is there was mention of there was wet paint on my jacket or on my trousers and it gave rise to suspicion.

My recollection and my friend who was with me, there was a red stain.

First they thought it was blood and it wasn't.

Witness statements about that car reported it had a large amount of rust on the door.

Could it have been the rust that left a red mark on Gillian's clothes?

I was interviewed by the guards within a week of being hit or ten days or three days.

James feels that Gillian's incident and her memory of it could be significant because it happened close to the time Elizabeth was abducted.

Also in the Brutus Bay area, a woman who got in touch remembers the time she went to their family's mobile home at the end of the summer of 1976.

Julie was 22 and her cousin who was with her was about 18.

And the next thing, a small white van came up and pulled us outside, close to where the mobile home was.

Two men got out of the little van.

I remember they were older than us and a bit rough looking.

So eventually they said they'd go down and get tea and sugar and biscuits and whatever and they'd be back.

The girls went out to a disco and her two aunts stayed behind in the mobile home.
