7.55: looking closer at the Daily Liberal's front page:
A coroner has found a woman missing for 32 years is dead and that it was “highly likely” Roxlyn Bowie met with foul play”.
At a Dubbo court yesterday the death of Mrs Bowie was referred to the unsolved homicide squad.
Coroner Mary Jerram said the mother of two was last seen on June 5, 1982 at Walgett and found that she died on or about that date.
But the evidence heard at the inquest which began on Monday did not allow her to identify more about the death, and letters purportedly written by Roxlyn announcing her intention to leave remained “a puzzle”.
