Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A murdered young woman; a missing wife; a forty-year mystery.In 1986 on Phillip Island, a young woman called Beth Barnard was savagely murdered and her boyfriends wife, Vivienne Cameron, went missing. The police immediately jumped to what they thought was the obvious conclusion: in a jealous rage, Vivienne had killed Beth and then herself. Viviennes body was never found.But Vikki Petraitis wasnt convinced. The official line didnt explain all the evidence, and it certainly didnt seem like the behaviour of a mother with two small boys. Fascinated by both the case and the bias it revealed in investigators, Petraitis wrote her first true-crime book about the murder, with Paul Daley, and decades later made a podcast on the case. Both brought new evidence and testimony to light, and asked questions that were not asked at the time.Now, to mark the fortieth anniversary of Beths murder and Viviennes vanishing, Petraitis brings together all her discoveries and true-crime experience in a brilliant forensic investigation into what happened all those years ago, and why. A murdered young woman; a missing wife; a forty-year mystery. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
