Circumstances of Disappearance
Louise was waiting outside her flat in the early evening of the 26th April when she told her neighbour she was going to her boyfriend's potato farm.
Her daughter Charmian was accompanying her. The pair entered a white utility driven by an older male.
Louise had informed other family members and friends of her intention to visit her boyfriend at his farm in Gippsland shortly prior to her and Charmian's disappearance.
The boyfriend has been named by police as the main suspect. He has denied he was involved in any foul play, but he refused to testify at an inquest on the grounds he might incriminate himself.
A letter, sent anonymously to the media, reads: "I ran into George Sutherland in Moe in early May 1980 and asked him about Big Boobs and Charmaine. He said it was Charmian, not Charmaine, and I wouldn't be seeing them again as he had got rid of them." "She thought she owned me and wanted me to be more of a father to the kid, and at my age that's bull----".
Faulkner's family has demanded $60,000 of George Sutherland to pay for excavation, demolition, rebuilding and exhumation at his old home near Erica. It is believed shortly after the disappearance, a concrete slab was laid at the home's rear for an extension. Radar tests had revealed unusual body-sized trenches in the slab. A two-metre-deep mechanics pit on the property had also been filled around the same time.
