Parents of ‘murdered’ mum break silence

The father of Brisbane mum Allison Baden-Clay said he knew “something was wrong” as soon as his daughter was reported missing.

Geoff Dickie cried on a police officer’s shoulder when he learned the body found at Kholo Creek crossing on Monday belonged to his “soul mate”.

“We were staying positive and hoped she would be found alive,” Mr Dickie told the Courier Mail.

“But after that length of time we were ready to find her body.
“[God] answered one of our prayers, she was found, and the second prayer is that we find who did this awful thing to our daughter.”

Mr Dickie said he did not believe his daughter would go walking into bush in the middle of the night.

Despite their grief, Mr Dickie is extremely thankful to the emergency services and search volunteers who helped find his daughter’s body.

“We thought after a while they’d scale it down. The head of the search team said ‘We’re not giving up’,” Mr Dickie said.

Mrs Baden-Clay’s best friend, Kerry-Anne Walker, described the ordeal as “very bizarre”.

“She would never have left her girls — never,” she said.

“She would never, ever have wanted to worry anybody. It should never have happened to her. She didn’t deserve any of this.”

Gerard Baden-Clay and his three daughters are now set to return home, after police searched their house as part of the forensic investigation.

Mr Baden-Clay is yet to speak publicly since his wife’s body was found on Monday.

His lawyer Darren Mahony said Mr Baden-Clay would be making no comment when asked who he thought had killed his wife.
