    If you have 11 minutes to watch a video... it is quite compelling: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-09-03/family-calls-for-murder-investigation-of-young/4932890


    This story is extraordinary. A young woman who police claimed committed suicide - was an open and shut case for them. Slashed wrists and pills strewn on the floor... and a suicide note. Open and shut.

    Except her family didn't believe it for a minute and they would come to do the police and detective's work and tirelessly worked flat out, leaving no stone unturned to uncover the truth of their family member's death.

    This story truly stunned me. That the pleadings and appeals of the family didn't affect / encourage police and detectives to further investigate. The family did the work themselves. They found enough evidence to indicate it was murder not suicide:

    A screwed up piece of paper at the scene of her death read, "He did it".

    Some time after the young woman's death, the new residents of the dead woman's unit, saw words scrawled on the tiled floor that read, "He did it."

    The woman was in a volatile custody battle with estranged partner - estranged partner was evidenced to have been in the woman's suburb on the day of her death, according to phone records.

    Finally the matter went to court and the suicide verdict was struck out. Murder a possibility was claimed... and the family will continue to try to uncover the truth of their loved family member. They are convinced the estranged partner murdered her and they will continue their investigation work.

    I admire and respect this family so much. This is the meaning of 'love' to work tirelessly towards uncovering the truth for a loved one when you are grieving at having lost them, but are determined to uphold the truth and dignity for the lost family member. Extraordinary story.
