The Dawson Family Has Released A Statement Regarding Today's Arrest

Chris Dawson's family has released a statement following his arrest this morning in relation to the disappearance of his ex-wife Lyn in 1982.

We are disappointed at the decision of the DPP as there is clear and uncontested evidence that Lyn Dawson was alive long after she left Chris and their daughters. We have no doubt whatsoever that Chris will be found not guilty as he is innocent. There will be no further comment. Please respect the privacy of Chris and his family.
