IN 1972, THE WORLD WAS A DIFFERENT PLACE.

JEANS WERE FLARED, HAIR WAS WILD AND FLOWER POWER RULED SUPREME.

YET DEATH ALSO LURKED...

Anita Cunningham and Robin Bartram were art students, fresh out of high school and at the beginning of their adult lives. Hitchhiking for two weeks across Queensland to visit Robin's parents at their pineapple plantation was an adventure they couldn't refuse.

But in July of 1972, Anita and Robin, both 18 years of age, went missing. Months passed before the families of the young women received any news of their daughters.

Robin's body was found in November 1972.

To this day, Anita's whereabouts are unknown.

Nine years in the making and following the events that occurred during Michael Gurn's time in the Queensland Police Service, Hear Our Cry aims to shed light on the Queensland justice system and a murder case that has remained cold for decades.

This book is a call to the public to support the Author and David Cunningham in their applications to the Queensland Government to establish a Commission of Inquiry to investigate a coverup of the mishandling of Police investigations into the rapes and murders of two 18 year old Victorian girl hitchhikers at Pentland, Queensland in 1972.
