they might have gone to?
What about from your last place
of residence... Coonaburra?
and they hadn't heard from them.
OK.
Are they on any social networking sites?
They used to be.
Not anymore.
OK.
Lily's been missing before?
That's... oh, that's in there?
Well, this is
If she's ever been reported
as missing to police,
then she'll be in there.
Yes, she... well, no... I mean,
she just... It was for two nights,
and I panicked and
I went to the police, and...
and she came back.
OK.
And where did she go then?
She stayed at a friend's house.
Have you called the friend?
Yep. Yep, I have.
Anything else you want to tell me?
Any... personal problems?
Medical issues?
No?
Tom walks.
He walks sometimes, at night.
He can't sleep, so he goes out walking.
OK.
Do you know where he goes?
Um... I mean, he just really...
he doesn't go far.
He just sort of goes around the
neighbourhood, really, so...
And further sometimes.
What, out into the desert?
And the gorge.
Um... Lily's never been out with him.
Doesn't mean
she wouldn't have this time.
OK.
Look, 95% of the time,
they'll come back within 24 hours.
We don't usually get emergency
Who'd you call?
Oh. Melissa and Kylie,
and Tom's friend Jack.
That all?
Neil?
He said she wasn't there.
Hi. It's Lily. I'm not here.
Any word?
No.
Come in.
Can you tell me something more
about why you left Coonaburra?
Mr Parker?
My daughter had a sexual relationship
with one of her teachers.
Neil McPherson.
Have you tried contacting him?
No.
Is that because of
the restraining order?
I'm told you beat him up pretty bad.
You have kids, Detective?
Well, I'm not really here
to talk about me, Mr Parker.
No.
Why didn't you press charges?
I didn't want our daughter's name
to be dragged through the mud.
Thank you.
Why did Lily run away the first time?
I don't believe they have run away.
Was it because of the teacher?
We...
We wouldn't let her see him
anymore, so...
Thank you.
And what about Tom?
Was he involved in any of this?
We were all involved.
Look, my kids are out there somewhere.
- Why are you here?
- Catherine.
What...
- Hello?
- Hello. Is Mr Parker there?
Yes. Yes, he's here.
- Hold on.
- Thank you.
Yes?
- Mr Parker?
- Mm-hm.
seeing someone in town?
Look, the thing with the schoolteacher,
that wasn't her fault.
Yeah.
- Need to open up the pharmacy.
- Oh, come on.
Oh, please. You're not
going to do that now?
- A kid's had an asthma attack.
- Come on, Matthew. Not now.
