Audrey Griffin's future could not have been brighter.
The 19-year-old was about to fulfil her dream of joining the navy. She was celebrating with friends on a night out in Gosford, on the NSW Central Coast, six weeks ago. Unable to get an Uber for her journey home, Audrey began walking to a friend's house. She never made it.
Audrey was followed by a man with a violent past—a stranger who should have been behind bars. It was simply a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The next morning, Audrey was found dead in Erina Creek. With no knowledge yet of 53-year-old Adrian Torrens' involvement, police declared her death a misadventure — something her parents, Kathleen Kirby and Trevor Griffin, questioned immediately upon seeing their daughter's body.
They knew instinctively that it wasn't an accident.
