Rhys Cauzzo killed himself in January 2017. The public servants and ministers responsible for this illegal debt-raising scheme effectively started a PR war to smear the reputation of a dead man.

One woman, his mother, Jenny Miller, never gave up on finding the truth about what happened to her son.
