Amber Haigh, 19, had been living with Robert and Anne Geeves when she disappeared in June 2002 from Kingsvale, an isolated rural pocket near Young in NSW.
A NSW couple murdered a 19-year-old in order to assume custody of a five-month-old child, a court has been told.
“The Crown case theory is that it was always the intention of the Geeves to assume the custody and care of ,” Kerr said.Kerr said the last independently verified sighting of Haigh was at her flat on June 2. Robert Geeves was with her. She had moved onto the Geeves’ rural property Huntley in 2000, and Robert Geeves, then 40, had commenced a sexual relationship with the naive and intellectually impaired teenager, Kerr said.
Kerr said there would also be evidence the Geeves “plant a seed that Amber was suicidal” before she disappeared without a trace.
