Find our daughter’s killer: parents’ plea

The father of Brisbane mother Allison Baden-Clay says he’s praying police will find the person “who did this awful thing to our daughter”.

Geoff and Priscilla Dickie have spoken of their grief after the body of their 43-year-old daughter was found beside a creek in Brisbane’s west on Monday.

The find confirmed the couple’s worst fears and ended a 12-day search for Mrs Baden-Clay, whose death is being treated as a homicide case.

Police have said they are interviewing a number of witnesses but won’t say if her husband, Gerard Baden-Clay, is a suspect.

Mr Baden-Clay reported his wife missing early on April 20, saying she’d failed to return to their Brookfield home after going on a late night walk.

Mr Dickie wept on the shoulder of a police officer when he learned a body found at Kholo Creek crossing was that of his daughter.

“He (God) has answered one of our prayers. She was found, and the second prayer is that we find who did this awful thing to our daughter,” he told The Courier Mail.

He said Mr Baden-Clay had told them “she went for a walk and she didn’t return – that’s all he said”.

Mrs Dickie said they knew there was “something wrong” from the beginning, and told how she held memories of their last hug dear.

“I said ‘love you’. They were getting in the car. That’s it. It’s terrible isn’t it. You just don’t realise.”

Mr Baden-Clay’s lawyer Darren Mahony has said his client is devastated and focused on the welfare of the couple’s three young daughters.

He said Mr Baden-Clay was taking legal advice on his interactions with police and the media, which was prudent given the intense public interest in the case.
