Episode 4: Unlawful Killing | The Truth About Amy

At the very least, Amy’s death was an “unlawful killing” says the first coroner who presided over her case, Evelyn Vicker. Ms Vicker says she always knew Amy didn't kill herself and talks candidly about the politics involved in being a Coroner in WA. The podcast team also catches up with Amy's mum Nancy and best friend Erin who discuss how the latest revelations about police's handling of the case have impacted them and their faith in there being any justice for Amy. 00:00 - Opener 01:21 – Introduction 01:50 – Update from Amy’s Family 06:31 – Family’s thoughts on Investigation 09:21 – DPP Power 16:08 – Introduction of Evelyn Vicker and Coroner’s Role 22:11 – Coronial Processes 24:39 – Red Tape 27:15 – Evelyn’s handling of Amy’s case 29:09 – Forensic Evidence 34:08 – Pulling the Inquest 38:33 – Open Finding 40:29 – Intent to Investigate 46:50 – Evelyn’s Conclusions 49:07 – Summation 53:56 - Preview 54:34 – Credits *Connect with 7NEWS Spotlight online* Visit 🔗https://7news.com.au/spotlight 7NEWS Spotlight Podcast 🎧 http://smarturl.it/7NewsSpotlight Facebook https://www.facebook.com/7newsSpotlight/ Instagram https://instagram.com/7newsSpotlight/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@7news.spotlight 7NEWS combines the trusted and powerful news brands, including Sunrise, The Morning Show and 7NEWS.com.au, delivering unique, engaging and continuous coverage on the issues that matter most to Australians.
