    Interesting With A Lot Of Questions Unexplained

    An Aussie TV movie about the Falconio disappearance in the Outback. Not a bad effort for a movie-long re-enactment of what had apparently happened, not sure if it's entirely accurate. Pretty good performances about the scary ordeal and the following court cases that followed, which ended up finding Murdoch guilty. Whether they got the right man or not I didn't think it was possible to convict someone of murder without a body to prove it.
