Could A ‘No Body, No Parole’ Law Help Find Lynette Dawson?


Listen Later

When Chris Dawson was finally found guilty of the murder of his former wife Lynette after 40 years, the next question asked was, where is she?

Since she went missing in 1982, that's something her family have been desperately wanting the answer to but so far, they still wait for news as to where their mother, sister and aunty's remains lay. But could that change?

In today's episode, The Quicky team looks at whether the much publicised 'No Body, No Parole' law could motivate someone like Chris Dawson to give up their victim's final resting place.
