Anita Cobby was a nurse dedicated to helping others, with a full life ahead of her.
That was until the evening on February 2, 1986, when she was abducted and killed n Sydney’s western suburbs.
Morri was then an up-and-coming journalist at the Daily Mirror tasked with finding a new angle to the story. He eventually met Ms Cobby's husband John, and the two have maintained a relationship off and on since then. Now Mr Cobby is ready to tell his story.
