Anita Cobby, the crime that shocked a Nation.

this week we cover the story of Anita Cobby, who on February 2, 1986,

Was walking home from Blacktown train station. when 5 men grabbed her and dragged her into a car, that they had stolen previously.
a young brother and sister witnessed the crime but were unable to help.
Anita's brutally beaten and horrifically sexually assaulted body was found by a farmer only 2 days later, he of course called the police and the search began.
The prime suspect was her recently estranged husband, but he was desperately in love with her and he would never hurt her. eventually the 5 men were charged with her murder, and there was some great police work and an incredible lady known as Miss X who helped to solve the case. all 5 of the perpetrators are found guilty of the crimes and sentenced to life in prison and their files were stamped never to be released.
