Yeah. And it's I can't talk too much about where we're at now, but I can say,
00:00:03
you know, I feel like closer to finding her now than anyone has ever been. It was, I believe, one of the first
00:00:10
certainly the first murder in New Zealand. I think that it was completely circumstantial evidence. There was no
00:00:14
direct evidence, no murder weapon or anything. David Tamahi was convicted. And so what happened is the police had
00:00:19
built a case saying that this all happened in this one particular area and that the two David Tamahi had buried
00:00:25
them over near Tames. And then it turned out that a year and a half later, a hunter stumbled across Urban Hogland's
00:00:32
remains over near Fong Matar, 70 km away from where the police case said. You know, Tommy, he still wasn't let out,
00:00:38
but it showed that there's there's some things that didn't add up here. There's
00:00:41
obviously more to this story. So, but her body was never found. So, the remains of her barn were found, but
00:00:46
Heidi's remains were never found. Surely, there's probably like some missing piece that might point towards
00:00:52
where she could be. And that was sort of always the goal to to find Heidi, not necessarily to find out who did this,
00:00:58
but just where she might be.
