An inquest in 2003 found Mr Dawson, a former rugby league star and high school teacher, had had sexual relationships with teenage students.<\/p>\n
One 16-year-old girl moved in with Mr Dawson within days of his wife’s disappearance. The pair later married, but have since separated.<\/p>\n
Two separate inquests recommended that murder charges be laid against a “known person”.<\/p>\n
Police say they have previously discovered “anomalies” in the ground at the property. This time, they plan to excavate four sites.<\/p>\n
“What’s different about this dig is it will be more extensive. We will go until we hit rock,” Supt Cook said.<\/p>\n
Since May, more than 12 million people have downloaded The Teacher’s Pet podcast, which is produced by The Australian newspaper.<\/p>\n
It has highlighted the bungled handling of the case by police in the early years after Mrs Dawson’s disappearance, prompting a recent apology from the state’s police commissioner.<\/p>\n
Public show of action<\/h2>\n
Hywel Griffith, BBC News, Sydney<\/strong><\/p>\n The satellite-equipped vehicles parked along Gilwinga Drive, Bayview, tell you this is not a run-of-the-mill investigation.<\/p>\n This leafy street of multi-million-dollar properties may yet provide the answers to a decades-old mystery which has caught the attention of millions of people around the world.<\/p>\n With the sound of drills and earth cutters buzzing in the background, police announced their new search in front of news cameras.<\/p>\n This isn’t the first time the police have dug here. But it is a very public display of what officers say is their commitment to give Lynette Dawson’s family answers, and a way to apply even more pressure on the man they believe was responsible for her death.<\/p>\n Source: bbc.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
