1981 in England When the girl was little her parents together with others moved to Australia as children and settled in the small town of Manjero the girl studied well and did excellent work sports and planned to go to study veterinarian or school teacher But before finally decide on the choice of future profession she wanted to travel around Australia graduating from school in ’99 at the age of 17 years old she went on a trip to Western Australia with its best friend Lisa they didn’t just plan to ride along local cities and attractions
and spend a few days away from home for months the girls were going to look for along the way, temporary part-time jobs to cover living expenses, food and trips move between cities they planned to hitchhike that in the 90s Australia didn’t seem so dangerous the idea at that time in the country was several cases of murder of girls who hitchhiked but on background of the total number of people safely these hitchhikers crimes did not cause any mass fear However, Heli was afraid that her parents would not will they allow her to travel this way?
even in the company of a friend on this reason she assured them that she was planning travel by bus at the end of July he and Lisa went to a city called dangara There they are were going to work part-time at a local farm girls stayed in a special campsite where for a small fee you can was to get a place to stay for the night like this places in Australia enjoy great in demand mainly due to its cheapness a few days before going to work Hayley decided to use the remaining free time and go to the farm family friends who were 200 years old
kilometers to get there She decided to hitchhike and Lisa didn’t want to let her go alone, but Hayley insisted she had nothing to do with it. worry and she will come back through a few days as a farewell, Lisa gave her hers folding knife for self-defense and some change so Hayley can call her from a phone booth After saying goodbye she went on her way at about 8 am family friends at the farm were waiting for her arrival but Hayley was never there appeared worried they called her mother and reported this the woman was afraid that
something could have happened to her daughter therefore, without delay I contacted police the first thing she did was dial the number for emergency calls and described the situation After listening to her story, the operator calculated that nothing urgent happened Therefore, he advised her to go to local police department and write a missing person report so she did and the detectives began to searching for Hayley, starting to restore the chronology of events, first of all they arrived at the campsite where Lisa was
she was depressed by the news that her my friend never made it to the farm However, the girl was able to give the police comprehensive water data she described all the clothes exactly which Hayley was that day and even drew a sketch of what they were wearing for the police she’s wearing earrings Hayley bought these earrings for a few days before the incident they were in tears went to the store to treat yourself with some inexpensive things and girls liked this decoration on at that moment she could not even think that
these earrings will be the key to unraveling this terrible Mystery of her disappearance detectives spread information about the disappearance of a girl along with her signs Even though she was almost 18 years old or looked much younger than her height was 152 cm and she was a little cheerful more than 40 kg the police were able to find it pretty quickly the first witness It turned out to be the driver the truck that gave her a lift that day according to the man’s story, she knocked through the window of his cabin at a gas station and
asked for a ride to the city of Mura next to which there was a farm The truck driver was heading to another city However, He agreed to let her down part of the way the man dropped her off at turn 50 km from Mura near the city Benjingara where from the main highway to her had to turn onto a country road the road according to the truck driver, Hayley was in I was in a great mood and talked all the way with him and talked about her journey After she said that she had practically no money he gave her 15 dollars so the girl can buy
something to eat the man also left her my number in case she hitchhiking back he did flights along this road almost every day and could let her down again detectives later received several more calls from people who saw Hayley in that area based on their testimony the police came to the conclusion that the girl walked along the northwestern roads towards Moore Apparently she can’t get it at the gas station.
managed to find not a single driver. Who could would let her down for this reason she I decided to walk along the road and try catch a ride based on the readings next witness he gave Haley a ride to turn onto Windiardi Road after which she walked further in her walking direction next witness there was a woman driving along this road She noticed Hayley just then when the girl got out of the car and walked towards Moore in total contacted the police more than ten witnesses adding them up testimony into a single picture detectives
came to the conclusion that it was the last time the girl was seen at approximately 12 noon on the northwestern road approximately 50 km from Moore however, there was one more witness, he was not saw heil but still shared it with police disturbing surveillance of a man Stopped on the side of the northwest road due to engine overheating at some point he heard a dog barking followed by a shrill He couldn’t see the woman’s scream source of sound because he could be far enough away passed through empty flat terrain
where there was practically no extraneous noise having all these information police forecasts from the very the beginnings were disappointing detective Eddie Ro decided that they you should look for the body and not look at it the possibility that Hayley may be alive but the management forbade him to lead investigation in a similar vein, leaving this is a matter of the status of the search for a missing person here it is worth clarifying what in a murder investigation, the police would have more possibilities than
missing person investigation but the police didn’t have a single lead which could help them get on the trail girls so they quickly started searching for potential thieves they managed to allocate a short period of time several dozen suspects living in that area but in Eventually the police focused on three men, one worked as a teacher in local school the second was a gardener there part-time and the third lived near the site of Haley’s disappearance During interrogation, each of them stated his innocence and provided an alibi by the police
could not confidently draw conclusions about their innocence but also find any evidence to the contrary failed however, soon the situation will change dramatically changed a neighbor of one of them contacted investigators suspects A 43-year-old school gardener named Francis Wark He told them that day disappearance of Hayley Francis borrowed from him a car to go pick up shopping in Murom when the man returned home about one o’clock the day a neighbor noticed damage inside car turn signal knob was the dashboard was also broken
Impact marks are visible the neighbor didn’t even have time to ask what happened to the car Francis came home threw shopping bags in the kitchen and sat down on his motorcycle and left this story seemed strange to the police and they decided to re-interrogate Francis the man assured that at the moment Hayley’s disappearance he was many years away kilometers from its intended location kidnapping According to his story After returning he immediately went home party in Perth on your own motorcycle But that day he didn’t
was destined to reach this place by road He exceeded the speed limit and got hit serious accident resulting in his admitted to hospital the available information was sufficient so that the detectives ask a completely logical question Where was he in such a hurry? own testimony seemed very researchers decided that it was strange apply for a warrant to search his home the police examined his home, but they didn’t no potential evidence found they also searched the car and seized the covers from the seats so that experts can examine them in
laboratories Unfortunately, all this is not brought no results and Francis left alone almost immediately after that he moved to the other side of the country Queensland the detectives were left empty-handed and the matter went on the backburner They tried find new witnesses and evidence that would allow us to move the Investigation from dead center but to no avail This went on for 8 years until 2007 year Francis again did not appear on the radar police at that time he lived in a remote remote area in a small settlement Once
in the morning an elderly couple came to life next door sat with him on the veranda of her house in at some point they noticed with horror that a girl is running towards them Absolutely without clothes and her head is covered in blood she asked for help and the residents of the house called police the victim said that last night tried to hitch a ride in front of her a man stopped and offered her let her down at some point he told her that he needs to go to one place for gasoline and refuel the car they we drove up to a house in the middle of nowhere and he called
woman inside, inviting her to drink tea to her misfortune She almost agreed immediately after that he attacked her and after a short struggle tied up the next few hours the victim was subjected to indescribable torture and violence the attackers also tore one off her earring and took it for myself like you already Guess this man was Francis by morning the woman realized that she could be able to remove the rope from your hands after why free her legs and run loosened the rope and waited for the right one the moment when Francis moves away as much as possible
far away and rushed to the back door of the house before leaving she took off her pendant and the woman threw it under the bed I was afraid that the police might not find no confirmation of her story therefore decided to leave some personal item in his house and it really worked police searched Francis’s house, found the one pendant and arrested the man in court he I quickly realized that I could avoid punishment it won’t work out and decided to confess he was sentenced to 12 years for his crime prisons Western Australia police who
was working on Hayley’s case, got the dot Francis’ arrest notice Apparently it’s just theirs detectives were not interested at all did not take any action to revive an eight-year-old case which was so similar to circumstances of Francis’ crime Only thanks to mother’s persistence Haley detectives agreed again consider this matter but very quickly came to the conclusion that there was no evidence against Francis is still missing, which means nothing.
they can’t help it all these years Haley’s family tried get the police to be thorough investigations But they assured that they did all that was in their Power to wait in despair assistance from law enforcement agencies relatives spent tens of thousands dollars for private detectives but that’s all it was to no avail A new turn in this matter took place only after 6 long years in 2013 and here one extremely outrageous one came to light the fact turned out that the police simply forgot about the evidence that ultimately
turned out to be key in this matter Forensic Scientist Tracy Horne sent a request for renewal investigations the reason for this was that the same ones were found in the evidence warehouse car seat covers seized from Francis’s neighbor’s car in ’99 suddenly for everyone it turned out that everything They haven’t bothered to check them for 14 years for the presence of blood DNA samples and other evidence when the experts finally got them to them immediately managed to detect a female an earring that caught on the fabric
covers taking a drawing of Lisa who she is compiled for the police immediately after detectives with horror about the disappearance of a friend realized this is the same Seryozha who was on Hayley the day she went missing but this is not all on one of car mats which also were taken from the car and found a human hair experts extracted a sample from it DNA that showed a match with DNA Hayley’s mother dot this meant that the hair with a high degree of probability belonged Hayley herself However, this probability is not
was one hundred percent Which made it very difficult task and did not allow attracting Francis to responsibility as soon as possible as soon as this news leaked to the change of police received a wave of criticism For 14 years this Evidence lay literally under nose of the investigators but for all this time they never remembered them Of course, such a Find instantly changed the course of the case and the detectives headed to the other end of the country to question Francis again at that point he was still in prison for
attack on a woman in 2007 by a man gave them the same story as 14 years old ago he denied his involvement and assured that at the time of Haley’s abduction went shopping in Murom interrogation which lasted almost four hours brought no results therefore the police had to prepare this case for transfer to court It happened only in 2015 when he officially charged with Haley’s murder and deported to western Australia two years later in At the end of 2017, the trial of Francis’ defense began insisted that all those presented
The evidence is circumstantial which Hayley bought at a local store was very cheap and enjoyed popular so I could leave it there is another woman in the car hair found in the car showed almost one hundred percent match with DNA or but not absolutely accurate Despite that that the error here would be extremely an unlikely lawyer for this was enough But all these arguments seemed to the judge unconvincing Perhaps Francis still there would be a chance to avoid punishment if not his crime in 2007 However then he didn’t just kidnap a woman who
I hitched a ride but also took her earring the prosecution believed that the man collected earrings from victims quality of trophies than in the end only increased suspicion towards him As a result, the judge found him guilty kidnapping and murder of Hayley Dot sentenced to 21 years in prison all this happened while he was the previous term has not yet ended the moment Francis received his sentence was 62 years old But the story didn’t end there believed that Francis kidnapped and killed Hayley then hid her body but he
never found and the man himself refused Hayley’s mother admits her guilt repeatedly addressed the killer with asking him to tell where he hid the body but unsuccessfully in 2018 she contributed to the adoption of a new law according to which a murderer has no rights for early release if refuse to reveal the location of the bodies their victims Another big thing happened in 2020 event the court upheld the appeal Francis to overturn the sentence and appointed new hearing his lawyers again tried to insist that the man
wouldn’t have had time to kidnap Hayley in the meantime between the trip to Muro and the return home However, the court believed that temporary the framework allowed him to do this Especially considering the rush with which he arrived home and immediately went to farting on a motorcycle moreover Seryozhka along with the hair were still on the list the main evidence against him but to Francis still managed to make a change The court found him guilty of manslaughter by reducing the sentence from 21 to 18 years However, thanks to
the law adopted in 2018, it does not will be able to be released even after this period if he refuses to indicate body location there is one more in this whole story moment that haunts detectives to this day they are sure that the victims Francis have become much more women and none of them managed to escape this a maniac could pick up for decades girls on the roads and what’s wrong with them what happened next only he knows of the most likely similar cases is the disappearance of the woman at the end 2005 she went to another city
hitchhiked and was never seen again the detective working on this case is sure that she was kidnapped by Francis because he personally knew the victim but no evidence not at the moment maybe the police will find them again in its warehouse several years later But for a criminal is not enough What will change if the police had examined the car more carefully Francis would have been arrested back in 99 now we can only guess how many lives did he ruin in subsequent years? years But sooner or later this secret may
be revealed there is one more in this whole story creepy moment remember that in the initial stages of the investigation, the police identified three main suspects including Francis, so one of them killed his wife 5 months after disappearance Haley and the second one who worked as a school teacher teacher turned out to be one of the most scary child molesters in history of Australia It’s a pity that at that time the police had no way stop if you liked this video don’t forget to support the channel like and share your opinion on
