Episode 4 – Soft Soil
Humiliated and broken by her husband’s affair, Lyn finally asked JC to leave the Bayview home. The teenager walked out, and into the home of Chris’s twin brother, Paul, a few hundred metres down the same street. Tensions continued to rise. And then suddenly, Lyn vanished. Years later, JC suggested Lyn’s remains were buried at Bayview, in the ‘soft soil’ – outside what were her daughters’ bedroom windows. In this episode, a surprise new witness speaks publicly for the first time about something he was told in 1987, indicating the possible whereabouts of a body.
