Prue awoke well after midday on a warm summer’s day in February, 1992. Her Mum, Jenny, and younger sister, Amanda, had already left home, headed to the local swimming pool. She planned to meet them there after having something to eat. But Prue never made it to the pool. After heating up a can of creamed corn on the stove, she vanished without a trace… Join Shaun over a cup of coffee as he runs through this interesting and sad tale, exploring the sordid criminal connections with Prue’s case, and the possibility of its connection to the Russell Street bombers.
