flight from Cairns to Townsville ten days after my meeting at the Townsville Police Station. I had not had any contact with Detective Inspector Hargreaves since that meeting. But there had been quite a bit of feedback from the Crime and Corruption Commission. It seemed that Hargreaves, Strong and Mortlock were all on the Commission’s list of persons of interest. There had been a lot of suspicion, but no absolute proof, that they were corrupt. Toni Swan had confirmed that they had no information of the culvert at the scene of the hit-and-run and agreed that Hargreaves’ mention of it was significant. She said that the evidence against Hargreaves was mounting and he was now at the top of their list of police officers suspected of being corrupt. What the Commission now needed was the apprehension of the attackers so that Hargreaves could be linked to the crime. I was pleased that the Commission was at least taking the attempts on my life seriously. I was in Townsville for a meeting with a major sub-contractor, a steel fabricator, the following morning.
