As many implore the families of the victims to "let it go", a shocking revelation reignites their fight for a second inquest. In a stunning final twist - it’s revealed the Coroner who led the first inquest did refer Dean Webber to the Director of Public Prosecutions suspecting he may have committed an indictable offence. Though prosecutors found no reasonable prospects of success in charging Dean Webber with Murder, and hopes for a second inquest were denied, the Davy and Christensen families remain defiant.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
