Ebony Simpson

S1 E2: Ebony Jane Simpson was murdered in Bargo, New South Wales on August 19, 1992. She was only nine years old. After an extensive search involving over 300 people, officers arrested a local man, Andrew Garforth and questioned him. It took less than 15 minutes for him to admit to abducting Ebony while she was walking home from school. Garforth even went to the extent of showing officers where he had left the body—throwing Ebony into a dam after sexually assaulting her. Andrew Peter Garforth pleaded guilty to the murder and was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. He gave no motive for the senseless crime and has showed no remorse since Ebony’s death. In this exclusive documentary, we hear from Ebony’s mother, Christine. She tells of her panic and heartbreak as locals and officials desperately searched for her daughter. We also hear from one of the main detectives on the case and one of the officers who was tasked with going to the crime scene and recovering Ebony’s body.
