Another chapter in one of Western Australia's most enduring mysteries has closed, with the dismissal of an appeal by the convicted sex offender found guilty of killing teenager Hayley Dodd almost 24 years ago.
The body of the 17-year-old has never been found, but in April 2021, Francis John Wark was sentenced to a record 18-year jail term for snatching her from a remote road near the town of Badgingarra, in WA's Wheatbelt region, on July 29, 1999.
