[electronic music] ABC Listen: podcasts, radio, news, music, and more Hey, Unravel listeners. Rob Bergin here. We thought we'd do something a little bit different for this bonus episode. In a moment, we've got a special guest who's gonna turn the questions on me and grill me a little bit about what went on behind the scenes in creating What Became of Jack? But first, I wanted to quickly answer a few questions some of you have. Thanks to everyone who's got in touch or commented on the podcast. I know a lot of you are really invested in this, and your feedback means a lot to us. There's a question here from Diane about a rumor that Jack was taken two hours north of the Fix Crossing area. Diane wants to know if I asked Jack's ex-girlfriend, Carly, about that theory because it was said to have originated from her. Now, I did put this to Carly, and she responded by saying that a friend of hers that she trusts, they'd received a tip-off that Jack might have been taken a few hours away. Carly says a friend seemed convinced that this was true, but I looked into this and ultimately couldn't get my hands on any strong evidence to support that theory. What I do know, though, is that Carly has continued to pass on information that might be useful to the police. We have one more question from Tom, and Tom asks, "Wouldn't Jack's bank statements corroborate the story of him being at the Kilkivan Hotel?" So this refers to episode three when you heard from Sue, who believed that she spotted Jack at the Kilkivan Pub in the week before
