Well, we were actually approached by Keith Lee's daughter Ren, who asked us for help in publicizing the story, publicizing the case and getting Keith's face out there into the public, which is very important because everyone assumed, the family and police assumed that he'd be using a different identity. So that's what happened. We spoke to Reren, we spoke to Meaghan Rose's sister Christine, and we also spoke to Detective Senior Sergeant Anthony Johns of Queensland Police. So we did two episodes in one week because we thought it required that it was very important story and we felt as though this was a dangerous guy in the community. So what are the charges now at the moment, he's facing charges in New South Wales of assaulting police and identity offenses. That's related to the identity that he was found with, all the all the identity cards that he was found with, a driver's license, a Commonwealth Bank card and a pension card in the name of David jappel Jari, which is obviously not his name. So today he will appear in paramatic court facing Queensland Police who are seeking extradition to get him up to Queensland and I believe they will charge him with murder when that happens.

Yeah, and also you know the police who put out the warnings, they boosted the potential rewards as well. You know what always strikes me about these cold cases is that era where things were dismissed as suicide and not changed. But it takes some time to get the attention on these cases.
