A short update at the close of the Mary Anne Fagan series.

Thank you to everyone who listened, shared the series, spoke about Mary Anne with family or friends, or reached out privately with memories and material connected to the case.

Something has become clear across this series: people are still remembering. Nearly fifty years on, a familiar name, a street or a workplace has been enough to bring back memories long set aside — and following the series, information has been provided to Crime Stoppers.

This is a reflection on why these stories are still worth telling, and why the window to tell them won't stay open forever.

If this series brought something back — however small, however uncertain — you're encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Civilian Sleuths returns soon with its next series.
