14: Into the Light
"They always tell someone". That's what Former homicide detective Ron Iddles told Sue Cole; that killers always tell at least one person what they've done. Sue issues an emotional plea for that person to come forward and say what they know about the man she believes murdered her sister, Gwen Grover. Sue has won in the courts, exposed the Queensland Police Service and restored her sister's honour... will she finally prove who killed Gwen?
