Eddie Murray was snatched off the main street of Wee Waa, a small cotton-growing town in north-west NSW, at 2:00pm on 12 June 1981. Witnesses say that the police came only for him. “Come on Eddie Murray, we want you, Come on Eddie Murray, we want you”, the officers were heard singing to their 21-year-old target, who was standing with friends. Minutes later, he disappeared into the back of the police wagon, detained under the Intoxicated Persons Act – for his own safety. From there, what was left of a life can be counted in minutes; not more than 60 and in all likelihood a great many fewer. Nearly 34 years later, the Murray family still don’t know what happened. The only people who do have never told the truth about it.
