Investigating my Father’s Cold Case  | Madison Mcghee’s Story

Her death was ruled a suicide. But was crucial evidence missed that could point to foul play?
When Nadine Haag was found dead in her Sydney apartment in 2009, police immediately treated her death as suicide. But her family refused to accept it and began their own investigation, uncovering evidence they say police had missed, including the words “He did it”. 
Four years later, a Coroner overturned the police ruling - handing down an open finding.
Now, Nadine’s sister Tasia Haag is using her experience to support other families and push for change. She joins us after giving evidence to the NSW Parliamentary Inquiry into unsolved missing and murdered cases and explains why she believes too many families are still left fighting for answers.
