S3 E14 The Brown Van Tip
Show notes
The Victoria police say the brown van tip was their best lead when Michael Dunahee was taken. But over the years, questions have been raised about the reliability of the child witness who first reports seeing the brown van. Tim Barron also witnessed a brown van that day. He told police what he saw and has been interviewed by them many times down the years. But this is the first time he has shared his story publicly. The brown van tip is complicated. Vehicle identification has come a long way since 1991. So this episode is also informed by two vehicle identification experts.
Note: Since publishing the episode, I have now spoken with the owner of the black van that Tim Barron knew. That vehicle was a 1963 Volkswagen. It was not lowered. And to be clear, his van was not in the vicinity that day. I've updated the podcast to reflect this new information.
