Graham and Ann Childs make the heartbreaking return to Bargo.

The local pub, the last place, Rochelle, was allegedly seen on June 7, 2001.

Her chart body found eight hours later, partially clothed, lying in a ditch on 7 Mile Beach at Giroa.

She's found dead by a security person that came past and saw a small fire and then went

and investigated that fire and the fire was our daughter.

On the morning of Friday, 8th of June 2001,

the partially burned body of 23-year-old Rochelle Childs

was located in a shallow ditch in bushland

near the town of Giroa, south of Wollongong in New South Wales.

The case has remained unsolved, and despite the tireless campaign waged by Rochelle's sister

Christie, it was uninvestigated for many years.

That all changed recently when Christie teamed up with journalist Ashley Hanson.

For the last 12 months, they've been working on a podcast, which is now

available for all of us to listen to, called Dear Rochelle. Ashley Hanson joins us on Australian

True Crime to talk about the case and the resurrection of the investigation into Rochelle's murder.

This is Australian True Crime. We acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which

this episode of the podcast contains graphic descriptions of violence.

She was a popular 23-year-old. She was a popular 23-year-old. She was a bit of a tomboy. She had lots of friends, had quite a big social circle. She loved cricket. She was very sporty. She was an animal lover. So she had horses

and just a really friendly, bubbly person.

That's how everyone has described her, someone that was always happy to assist people in need.

And so the impact of her loss really hit people hard because she was so kind and so caring and so popular.
