I woke up angry about this. Lynnette appears to have been murdered over and over again, with premeditation and with malice and with extreme brutality.
He took those rings from her cold , broken , dead fingers. How Joanne could agree to wear them tells me more about her that isn't pleasant to contemplate.
The Edu. Dept of NSW murdered Lynne metaphorically.. giving her husband a pat on the back and an 'attaboy' smooth ride with impeccable references all through his career. He still is employed today , with all the superannuation intact, all the perks, all the status.
The NSW Police murdered Lynne metaphorically in their turn. If she was silly enough to leave a Rugby player, well.. It is peculiar in the extreme that the tiniest bit of investigation , like, enquiring from all North Shore councils if there were any residential cults in their parish, a simple question, you 'd think the first to be asked. A check on any such of a thing up the entire coast should surely have been considered. No one appears to have checked with the bus drivers out of Mona Vale, either.
What he said went over so well with the police!.. and on top of that, the Family Court appears to have mismanaged the divorce . Just because Lynne didn't turn up, or respond to any letters, doesn't give permission for the court to dispose of the shared property in the husbands favour. Her share of the sale of all the estate, that is 50%, should have been held in escrow by the Public Trustee until such time as Lynne either claims it, or is pronounced dead. Then her next of kin, which isn't him, since he divorced her, is the beneficiary. Her daughters have been well and truly done over by Dawson. She was not pronounced dead when he divorced her. And as for the rings, they were Lynettes property, her apparent discarding of them doesn't change the ownership of them, you can leave your wallet in a phone booth, but whoever picks it up and uses it is charged with theft, they should have been held by the Public Trustee in trust for her daughters. I was shocked to the core that this could be done so quietly, so smoothly. Why on earth wasn't an 'amicus curie' a friend of the court, appointed to speak for Lynette in her absence ? .
And at both subsequent inquests, she was deemed deceased, and he was named as the murderer, then he has got away with profiting ( greatly) from his crime,
a crime without limitations.
Dawson had it both ways.. he got all the money by pretending she was dead, and he got away with murder by pretending she went to a religious cult. How can that be ?
