Over two decades, while producing three separate Australian Story episodes, producer Wendy Page spent many hours filming with the family of Lynette Dawson — her sister, Pat Jenkins, brother Greg Simms and his wife, Merilyn.
Page built trust and rapport and saw up close the toll the 40-year mystery of what happened to their beloved Lyn had taken on them, particularly in the pressure-packed days leading up to the verdict handed down against Chris Dawson, who was found guilty of murdering his wife.
"When we were interviewing Lyn's brother, Greg, [for this latest program] he had a panic attack," recalls Wendy Page.
