  • To Riveting Listening

    From what I gather, Terry told his mum on the Saturday morning he was going to watch the afternoon footy match & so was expected home for dinner Saturday night. He must have planned to go camping without telling his parents.

    So very sad for Daryl & his family. I can’t imagine how hard this has been to live with every single day. Hoping the family finally find answers.
