Caroline Byrne was a beautiful 24-year old model pushed to her death off The Gap by her boyfriend Gordon Wood. This is the story of a grieving father determined to find the truth behind her death. The trial which put Gordon Wood behind bars did not commence until thirteen years after Caroline's death.
In 1986, Gordon Wood graduated from Sydney University with a degree in Economics. However, he did not use this degree, preferring to be an assistant to well known stockbroker/businessman Rene Rivkin. This involved driving Rivkin to his daily lunches and associating with the other assistants. Understandibly, Caroline was not happy with this arrangement. There were arguments because of his dominance and "gym junkie" lifestyle.
On a bleak winter's night in 1995, Caroline's body was found. When Gordon arrived on the scene he showed no emotion, led the Police to where he believed her body lay! How did he know? When her body was retrieved, he went through her wallet and stripped her bank account bare. According to friends he told them Caroline had been hit by a car.
After the inquest Gordon departed Australia and lived the high life in London and Europe . . . . . but he did not know of Mr Byrne's determination.
