who kindly donated his fee for the use of his artwork to victims of crime; front cover photographer Andrew Raszevski and Icon Media, who kindly donated the photograph of Rachel for us to use; Cathy Larsen our designer for her fabulous book design and Julie Watts and Robert Sessions from Penguin Books for their support and belief that ours was a story that needed to be told; Denis Pye for her many hours of photocopying, sandwiches and cups of coffee during our major editing sessions. Deborah Holland and Chris Harrington of Books In Print – thank you for your support; Tony Stanton; the inner-city support organisation who sent the Barbers a cheque for $1000 to help cover expenses after Rachel disappeared; and to Patrice Fidgeon for her help sourcing news clips and support throughout the project. And finally, to the many others who handed out posters, helped in the search, or contributed their time to the publication of this book.
