Claremont serial killer trial podcast: ‘The Missing Hours’

• Daily recap: Witnesses recall weekend Spiers vanished
• Accused ‘skipped holiday’ night Ciara Glennon disappeared
• Bradley Robert Edwards’ second wife ‘tired of all the lies’

In what’s already been a week of bombshells, day five, despite being a shorter day, was no exception.

Former friends of Bradley Edwards, a couple named Murray and Brigita Maria Cook took the stand.

Mr Cook told of his annoyance when Edwards never showed up to a pre-planned holiday in Dawesville, an hour south of Perth, on March 14 1997 - the night Ciara Glennon disappeared.

He said Edwards told him he was trying to reconcile with his wife, who told the court on an earlier day that he never tried to reconcile with her.

In an eerie admission, Mrs Cook said they had no TV and no radio, so they didn’t know Ciara Glennon was missing.

Join Natalie Bonjolo, Alison Fan and Tim Clarke (in the studio) as they discuss the days’ events, as Tim described them, a reverse-alibi.
