8. 'Let It Go'

As many implore the families of the victims to "let it go", a shocking revelation reignites their fight for a second inquest. In a stunning final twist - it’s revealed the Coroner who led the first inquest did refer Dean Webber to the Director of Public Prosecutions suspecting he may have committed an indictable offence. Though prosecutors found no reasonable prospects of success in charging Dean Webber with Murder, and hopes for a second inquest were denied, the Davy and Christensen families remain defiant.

7. The Key Witness

The 2020 Coronial Inquest into the Alva Beach deaths was meant to bring answers, instead it left confusion and outrage in its wake. As the week spiralled into chaos, lawyers stormed out of the Cairns courthouse, the Coroner was asked to stand down over fears of bias and the key witness - Dean Webber - was excused from giving evidence.  Retired Coroner David Heilpern joins the podcast with an independent and expert legal view - and a damning assessment: the inquest failed in its purpose to get to the truth.
