The Story of the Arnold Lake Murder

Journalist Robert Reed fought to keep the Arnold Lake case in the spotlight. In 1997, he published a book about the case titled Third Party to Murder. As he made a name for himself as an expert on the case, witnesses started coming forward with tip-offs. Former senior Constable Willem Hendrix exposed how his superiors had forced the murder-suicide line through laziness and fear of going over budget. The story was featured in the weekend Australian and the Cairns Post newspapers and on television program 60 Minutes.
