I have to go back to that interview that maybe was it 2001 that she first went to police?

So I think two years after, you know, and you could imagine, I suppose, if you're a police at that point and you're very adamant in their mind, they know who's done this.

Someone comes along with something new, you know, you're always going to have that confirmation bias a little bit.

They're going to look towards what they already have.

And again, there may be something they have that we aren't aware of that ruled Gus out for some reason.

um you know that's always a possibility and i'm sure that they did look into it seriously um from everything i've heard kim cavill who's the detective working on it was you know she was like working very hard to try and solve this case and i cannot imagine that she would not have looked into this um but you know there are also some concerns there around

And was this in the podcast?

You have to remind me that when Debbie said that they told her that Ian had withdrawn his statement, but Ian told me that that wasn't true, that he never withdrew his statement.

That never happened.

So if that's true, what Debbie's saying, then police have told a fib there to try and basically get her to just leave this thing alone.

Um, you know, I can't remember was that, did I include that in the podcast and saying that.

Well, I think in reality that happened as soon as Jessica's case happened.

Once they realized it was Derek, then suddenly they've made some connections back to, I guess, Hyben and that area.

Hey, there's two other missing women here.

Yeah, but in terms of the exact timeline, we'd have to assume within a month or two of Jessica's disappearance, they must have been looking at all three.

No, after.

Yeah, you know, it's funny in Australia because when you're working different places, right, you say in New Zealand and it would be the same in the States or wherever you're from, you grow up learning to look at an area or a place or a building or a situation and your sort of cultural environment and you can recognize danger or things that, you know, like a potentially dangerous place.

but of what I've realized is when you jump into another country, it doesn't cross over.

And in Australia, things that to an Australian would look like a building, like, geez, man, don't go there.

To me, it just looks like a house, you know, because it's just, it's just different.
