Host of season 6, Expanse: The Nannup Four, Dominique Bayens has been following the developments of the case of four people who disappeared from the isolated town of Nannup.
Matt StricklandGuestBut first, you might remember us talking about a follower of Gary Felton's who spoke in the inquest about Simon Cadwill, as she knew him, telling her about plans for a family suicide.
From the coronial inquest, it sounded like she was one of the few people Gary Felton was confiding in before the disappearance.
Her name is Cheryl Plocharc, and from the moment I picked up this story, me and my team have been trying to get in touch.
Last weekend, another media outlet published an article featuring Cheryl, which seemed to have some pretty critical information about what may have happened to Chantelle, Leela, Gary, and Toni.
And just a warning up front here, there's some pretty heavy details coming up.
[gentle music] In this article, Cheryl reportedly says about a year before the disappearance, Gary began talking about a planned suicide.
He spoke about taking a bus somewhere and then hiking into the wilderness with a shovel and drugs.
She's reported as saying Gary, Chantelle, and Leela would take the drugs before Toni buried the bodies.
Now, all of this so far we knew from the coronial inquest, but then the reporting goes on to say that after telling Gary he shouldn't go through with it because it would be murder, he then told Cheryl that actually only he would do it.
[gentle music] What Cheryl reportedly says next was never recorded in the coronial inquest.
She says that actually there was another follower close to Gary who knew about his plans for a group murder-suicide.
The article says she won't give the follower's name, but says it was an American woman living in Scotland at the time.
Apparently, she was so dedicated to Gary and the Truth Fellowship she'd given up her relationship, her home, and her savings to fund Gary's lifestyle.
Cheryl reportedly claims it was this woman who supplied Gary with a euthanasia drug, that she traveled to Mexico to buy it and sent it to Gary before the disappearance under the belief only Gary would use it.
I can't verify any of this because Cheryl won't answer my calls, messages, or emails.
But if it is true, it means there were people who knew more about Gary's plans than they've ever admitted.
It could also mean that there are people out there who have information which could lead to answers about where Chantelle, Leela, Toni, and Gary are.
I've spoken to WA Police following this article, who say they're looking into it but can't give any more details except that the case remains open.
I haven't been able to confirm if they knew this already or if Cheryl gave them this information when she spoke to them.
