In
the early evening on the 26th April 1980
Louise Faulkner and
her 2 and a half year old daughter Charmian
were standing outside their Acland Street
residence in St Kilda. Louise’s neighbour Corrine stood alongside
them and asked Louise if she was going away with her ‘potato
farmer’ boyfriend. Corrine had heard about this man but had
never met him.
Just
as Louise replied that she was indeed going away with him, a white
utility driven by a thick-set older man pulled up alongside them
next to the kerb.
“Is
this your potato farmer boyfriend?” Corrine asked Louise.
“Yes” replied Louise. Corrine briefly glimpsed at the
man in the twilight and whispered to Louise, “I think you
can do better.”
As
Louise and Charmian climbed up into the ute Corrine told Louise
to have a good time. Louise replied that she would and the ute drove
off. Louise and little Charmian would never again be seen.
