The Kettering Incident

_

Anyone that was at that party in the forest

needs to come in for an interview.

Do it willingly.

Do it quickly.

Adam. Adam. Adam, don't!

- Adam! - Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Where is she?

My sister.

Tell me!

She's gone, mate.

She was last seen up at the party.

But why would she go to the mill?

That's what we're trying to ascertain.

There's no sign of her vehicle.

Right.

We'll be keeping you informed, as much as we can.

As anything relevant comes to hand.

Ah.

We're gonna need to interview you again.

And Adam as well.

Yeah, of course. Of course.

Eliza?

Time you went home.

We won't let you down, Max.

Okay?

I promise you.

If there is someone responsible,

we'll catch the bastard.

For fuck's sake, Fergus.

It's not an official homicide yet,

and you go making promises to the victim's family.

Well, someone knows something. She didn't just end up there on her own.

What if we never find out who that was, huh?

What if we do and it's even worse?

It's their son, Adam.

Adam? Why would Adam

- murder his sister? - Or Max did it. Bashed her head in.

You'd enjoy telling Barbara that?

I'll do what I have to do.

Mate, the girl's dead.

It's too late to be the hero.

Okay, let's start with making a list of everyone that was at the party.

Loggers, greenies, locals.

I know some of them have priors.

Macca for starters and...

there's a few other blokes round here with history.

Who, Lofty?

Isn't he Roy's number one patsy? Did you inherit that with this job?

Roy was just doing his job, okay?

And so am I.

Hey.

You're Chloe's mate, aren't ya?

Yeah.

You knew her better than anyone.

She was my best friend.

Who was her worst?

I dunno.

She was fighting with that Anna woman at the party.

Fighting?

What? Physically fighting?

Yeah.

I already told you all that.

She's weird, I reckon.

Yeah, well, she has her fans.

Come on, jump in. We'll give you a lift.

Nah, I'm all right.

...already volatile situation...

...battle between the loggers and the greenies.

- Come on, Pop. - Mm.

The body of missing teenager, Chloe Holloway

has been found at the local saw mill.

Police have refused to comment on the cause of death at this stage.

But they've asked anyone with information to come forward.

The teenager was last seen at around 11:00 PM,

at a party up in Kettering Forest, where greenies were celebrating the...

Dane?

- Comin'. - While there has been

no speculation of foul play, some questions still remain

on how the teenager managed to get from the forest to...

Dane?

Is that your Chloe they're talking about?

Get in.

Interview with Miss Anna Macy,

commencing at 9:45 AM, Tuesday the 11th of August.

Senior Constable Fergus McFadden, Senior Detective Brian Dutch.

Can you tell us when you last saw Chloe Holloway.

The party in the forest.

We drove up there together.

Chloe wanted to stop off.

She had packets on her.

Packets of what?

Drugs.

You saw them?

She had packets in the car.

I think it was ecstasy.

How did you know it was ecstasy?

She was saving up to leave town.

She was selling for someone.

It would help us if you answered the question Miss Macy.

How did you know it was ecstasy?

Doctor.

I didn't.

Just assumed.

Did Chloe say who she was selling for?

- No she didn't say. - Look...

you were seen down the wharf at 3:15 in the morning, walking your dog.

- It's my father's dog. - Why would you do that?

I had jet lag, I needed a walk.

- What time did you leave the party? - I think it was around 12:00.

- How'd you get home? - I walked.

- It's a long walk. - It's a bit of a blur, really.

- What do you mean by blur? - As I said I was jet lagged.

- What time'd you get home? - I didn't check the time.

- How'd Chloe seem, when you left her? - Seem?

What was her state of mind?

- She was intoxicated. - Look, remind me...

You took the dog for a walk, what

- time'd you get home from the wharf? - Around 4:00.

You checked what time you got home from walking the dog.

- Yes. I wanted to keep track. - Why's that? Of what?

Time.

- Anna? - Excuse me?

Jesus, Fergus, sort that out, will ya?

Fergus, I've been trying to call you.

Roy, what do you think you're doing?

Look, you know you can't just barge into the interview room.

Why is Anna in there?

We're just doing our job, okay?

We have to talk to everyone that was at the party.

Well, she needs a lawyer in there with her.

No one's been accused, no one's been arrested, all right.

- I want her out of there. - She hasn't requested a lawyer, Roy.

Senior Constable Fergus McFadden has just re-entered the room it's... 09:51.

I hardly knew Chloe Holloway.

She was a baby when I left.

Is that before Roy smuggled you off the island?

- He didn't smuggle with me anywhere. - Well, maybe you can explain

- what happened? - I don't know.

Can you tell us what you and Chloe were fighting about at the party?

- There was no fighting. - There are witnesses

who say the opposite.

They saw an altercation.

They're lying.

What about you and Gillian Baxter?

The girl who went missing 15 years ago.

You're half sisters, right?

Anna and Gillian, no that's not true.

Of course, it's true.

Isn't it?

I don't see what this has got to do with Chloe.

Oh, I think it has everything to do with her.

Anna, wait.

You just said in the interview that you left the party at 12:00,

and a few days ago you told me you got home at 11:00.

11:00 or 12:00, what's the difference?

What's the difference? It's a big bloody difference.

Can I stay with you?

I can't stay with Dad.

Is it true?

You and Gillian were sisters?

Roy never said anything, no one said anything.

Guess it wasn't something he was very proud of, Fergus.

- Where are you going? - I don't know.

Why didn't you tell me you were down at the wharf?

- Do you tell me everything you do? - I need to know, Anna.

Wait...

Thank you.

It'll only be for a night or two.

You know the funny thing?

The only person who actually wanted me to stay in Kettering was Chloe.

- Hey, Lofty. - Hey.

Chloe would be really happy that you're wearing the beanie.

Do you wanna drink, Lize?

I'm all right.

Hi, Mum.

Searching since Friday.

With echoes of the disappearance of Gillian Baxter 15 years ago,

the body of the girl, 17 year-old Chloe Holloway, was found this morning

- at the local wood mill. - No, Roy.

The cause of death is unknown at this stage

and locals have being urged that if they have any information

to contact police.

Renae.

- You should go home. - I gotta go see Barb.

I should be with my sister.

Can't he have a shandy?

Hey, Sharon.

Craig.

Thanks.

How ya goin'?

How do you think?

Yeah...

So what brings you into town?

Protecting my daughter.

You're never around.

That'd be first, wouldn't it?

- Mum... - Don't tell me what to do.

Why don't you go sit with your father?

Hey, Dane.
