GUILTY OR - Laurene McGilvra, 73, St Helens, 22 May 2002

Records showed that McGilvra sold Dent the home in 2000 and still held the mortgage at the time of her disappearance. Neighbors said the two were involved in a long-running dispute over the property.

When McGilvra disappeared, police searched Dent's home, barn and several outbuildings, but came up with nothing. They also briefly took Dent into custody to get a DNA sample.

Shortly after that search, the home mysteriously burned down and police later took Dent into custody, charging him with arson.
