Episode 2: False Trail

Documents from the brief of evidence reveal that when police ask Ray McQueen whether he has any idea why his wife died at the kitchen table, he tells them “Yes, she’s had cancer”. 

Police decide there are no suspicious circumstances, but her general practitioner refuses to provide a death certificate. Almost three months later, toxicology tests show strychnine killed Rosslyn.

Hedley Thomas, Karina Berger and Rex Bakes meet in Bendigo for new interviews and investigations.
