They heard the car drive away down the road, but couldn't be sure in what direction it went.

It was at 2.30 or 3pm that the phone rang in their caravan.

On the other end was dead silence.

Joan said hello a few times and could hear someone breathing on the other end of the phone, but when she said please speak, they hung up.

The second key person that morning was Anne's husband Eric Glasser.

Thanks to the inquest documents, we can retrace Eric's movements that morning in a bit more detail.

The night prior to Anne's disappearance, Eric had dinner with Anne at her home and told police he left at around 8.30pm.

He also told police they had made plans to meet again the following morning.

When he arrived around 9am the next morning, he arrived to find Anne's parents concerned as to her whereabouts.

After leaving the house, Eric then noticed her car parked in the Little Yabba Creek car park.

He noted the vehicle did not have any dew on it, the steering lock was affixed to the steering wheel, and upon feeling the bonnet of the vehicle, he could detect only a small amount of warmth.

At 11am that same morning, he returned to find the car parked in the same location, so he stopped and walked the nearby fig tree track to look for her.

He found what he believed to be footmarks in the sand, which looked very similar to Anne's, and also sighted small dog prints, which he believed could be Poppy's.

Although, he agreed, these could be from earlier days.

Later that afternoon, he reported her disappearance to police.

Forensic examination of her car and the scene yielded no results.

Fingerprint officers who examined the car and the interior of Anne's house also found nothing.

Police believe it was Anne who drove her car to the Little Yabba Creek picnic area at approximately 6 a.m.

that morning.

But they can only guess at the reason for her hurry.
