Internet-obsessed Krystal Fraser, 24, disappeared from the Bendigo area on June 20.
Heavily pregnant, she had planned to call her baby boy Ryan.
Police say that uncovering the identity of a person who called Ms Fraser from a public phone in Leitchville late on the night she disappeared is the key to the mystery.
Homicide detectives are investigating whether Ms Fraser, who had an intellectual disability and was an avid user of internet chat rooms and social networking sites, may have chatted to her killer online.
Det-Sgt Wayne Woltsche said Ms Fraser accessed the internet through her phone for the final time hours after the mysterious midnight phone call.
"She had run out of credit on her phone, but she could still access the internet ... about 3am (on June 21) was the last time she logged on to the internet, but because it was through a phone we are not able to find out which sites or chat room she accessed," he said.
"About 1.30am to 1.45am she was online, or someone she was with was using her phone to access the internet.
"But again, without the phone, we don't have any information on what sites were accessed."
Detectives have established that Ms Fraser travelled on a V/Line train from Bendigo to Pyramid Hill on the day of her disappearance and arrived at 8.40pm.
She was last seen an hour later leaving a friend's house in Albert St, Pyramid Hill.
The mystery phone call, from a public phone outside the Leitchville Post Office two hours later, is the last time someone spoke to Ms Fraser.
"A number of calls were made from that phone box to Krystal's phone in the months before she went missing," Det-Sgt Woltsche said.
"The phone and the identity of the caller are both critical."
Police yesterday concluded a two-day line search of the Pyramid Hill area looking for clues. A helicopter was also used to scour the search zone.
The missing phone is a Samsung flip phone.

Who killed Krystal Fraser?
- From: Sunday Herald Sun
- October 25, 2009
New details have been uncovered in the mysterious disappearance of Ms Fraser, who was three days from giving birth when she vanished at Pyramid Hill, about 100km north of Bendigo.
Police suspect she has been killed because she has not used her mobile phone, touched her bank account or visited a hospital since she was last seen on Saturday, June 20.
Her wallet was found in a shopping bag on the couch in her flat, along with a new stroller, nappies and clothes for her unborn child.
Ms Fraser was 23 when she disappeared, but an intellectual disability meant she had the mental capacity of a 15-year-old.
She knew she was expecting a boy and planned to call him Ryan.
A friend, Bendigo building subcontractor Carlo Anfuso, 20, spoke to Ms Fraser in a chat room on the Thursday before she disappeared.
Mr Anfuso said Ms Fraser seemed stressed.
"She said she was worried about what the father of her baby might do if he finds out she had the child," he said.
Mr Anfuso said he thought Ms Fraser's comment was strange, but did not think of it again until he saw reports last week that she was still missing.
He made a report to Bendigo police.
Police believe Ms Fraser has been murdered and suspect her body is buried in the bush, but searches of land near Pyramid Hill have failed to find her.
They suspect Ms Fraser may have chatted to her killer online.
They have made no arrests.
The case is complicated because the father of Ms Fraser's child is unknown.
The pregnancy was a shock to Ms Fraser and her family.
She had a contraceptive implant inserted in her arm, but it failed.
She told family and friends she was unsure of the identity of the father.
Her mother, Karen, has been hoping desperately her daughter is still alive, but the hope is turning to despair because she has not heard from her eldest daughter in months.
"She didn't leave Pyramid Hill on her own. If they have killed her, they have killed my own grandson as well and that is just sick," Mrs Fraser said.
"You don't hurt a pregnant woman. You move out of the way for them.
"I can't believe anyone would touch her. It was obvious she was pregnant - her stomach was as big as a basketball."
Mrs Fraser had a message for anyone who knew anything about her daughter's disappearance.
"Someone has to know something. Secrets eat away at you - they will slip up eventually," she said.
spend the working week in Horsham where their business is based and return to Pyramid Hill on weekends.
They were in Horsham on the Saturday night when Krystal disappeared because Mr Fraser had been in hospital for a week with pancreatitis.
Mr and Mrs Fraser and their youngest daughter, Chantel, who celebrated her 21st birthday this month, are moving back to Pyramid Hill.
The move was supposed to be for the arrival of their grandchild, but instead they now may have to deal with the death of two of their loved ones.
Mrs Fraser said she wanted answers.
"I don't want to become a statistic. I don't want to spend the next 30 years waiting for a phone call. I don't want to see her on the television still listed as a missing person," she said.
"Krystal deserves better than that."
Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Pyramid Hill's Krystal missing six months
TOMORROW will mark six months since pregnant Pyramid Hill woman Krystal Fraser went missing.
The 24-year-old vanished on June 20, only three days before she was due to give birth to a son she planned to call Ryan.
The homicide squad announced it had taken over her case on August 15.
Ms Fraser travelled on the V/Line train from Bendigo to Pyramid Hill on the day of her disappearance and left the train at 8.40pm. She was last seen leaving an address in Albert Street, Pyramid Hill, about 9.30pm after visiting a friend.
Just before midnight, Ms Fraser received a phone call on her mobile from a public phone booth outside the Leitchville Post Office.
It is believed that the caller was the last person to speak to Ms Fraser before she disappeared.
Ms Fraser was last seen wearing an orange top, black tracksuit pants and a camouflage-patterned baseball cap.
Anybody with any information regarding her disappearance is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Reward earmarked to help solve case of Krystal Fraser
- From: Herald Sun
- June 10, 2010
Krystal Fraser, 24, was nine months pregnant when she vanished from the Bendigo area on June 20 last year.
Police said last night an application had been made for a reward but it had yet to be approved.
It is expected the reward will be $100,000, for any information that helps catch her killer.
The internet-savvy woman was just days away from giving birth when she disappeared, and it is presumed she was murdered.
She had planned to call her baby boy Ryan.
On the afternoon of June 20, Ms Fraser had been waiting at Bendigo Base Hospital in case she went into labour.
Police established that later that night she caught a V/Line train home to Pyramid Hill, 100km north of Bendigo, arriving at 8.40pm.
She was last seen alive leaving an address in Albert Street, Pyramid Hill, about 9.30pm.
Shortly before midnight, she received a phone call on her mobile from a public phone booth outside the Leitchville Post Office.
It is believed that the caller was the last person to speak to Ms Fraser before her disappearance.
Ms Fraser was a regular user of internet chat rooms and social networking sites. Investigations have probed whether she chatted to her killer online.
From 1.30am-3am, her phone was used to surf the internet.
Her wallet was found in a shopping bag on the couch in her flat, along with a new stroller, nappies and clothes for her unborn child.
She was last seen wearing an orange top, black tracksuit pants and a camouflage-patterned baseball cap.
Members of a Facebook site called "Help us find Krystal Fraser" last night welcomed news of the reward.
New lead in 2009 disappearance of Pyramid Hill woman Krystal Fraser
POLICE are chasing a 'promising' new lead into the disappearance of
Pyramid Hill woman Krystal Fraser, 10 years after she was last seen.
Detective Acting Inspector Julian Horan, of the Missing Persons Squad, said police had refocused their investigations in light of new information received earlier this year.
"As a result of this new information investigators have renewed a
number of lines of inquiry into a person previously spoken to by
police," he said.
"The information is promising however sadly leads us to look at the possibility that Krystal met with foul play because of the intimate relationship she shared with a man."
Krystal was days away from delivering her first child - a son - when
she was last seen on June 20, 2009.
Detective Inspector Horan said the aforementioned relationship and the subsequent pregnancy might have caused a confrontation between Krystal and the man, leading to her disappearance and death.
"There were a number of people spoken to by police at the time;
however this new information has allowed us to narrow our focus more
closely on one individual," the detective said.
Police have upped a $100,000 reward, offered in June 2012, to $1
million in the hope of encouraging someone to come forward with
information.
Detectives said a 40-second phone call Krystal received on her
mobile phone on the night she vanished was important to their
investigations.
"We know it was from a public phone booth outside the Leitchville
Post Office in Findlay Avenue at 11.59pm, on 20 June, 2009,"
Detective Inspector Horan said.
"We also know Krystal's phone last showed activity on a Leitchville
phone tower at 2.49am, nearly three hours after she received the
call from the phone box.
"This indicates to us that the phone was in the Leitchville or surrounding area."
Leitchville is 27 kilometres from Pyramid Hill and about 10 minutes from Cohuna.
Detective Inspector Horan said the proximity to Cohuna was
considered important because Krystal had told several people she
intended to go to a party in the northern Victorian town the night
she disappeared.
"We believe she discharged herself from hospital on the night of her disappearance, against medical advice, because of what she described as a 'party at Cohuna'," he said.
"What we don't know is, whether or not there was actually a party, if there was - who attended and what was the specific location?"
Krystal had intended to give birth at Bendigo Health.
Police said hospital staff were among those Krystal had told about
her plans to attend a party in Cohuna the night she disappeared.
"Calls to Krystal's mobile phone, from the Leitchville phone booth,
the night prior to her disappearance and while she was at the
hospital; lead us to believe they relate to the 'party' she
mentioned to hospital staff," Detective Inspector Horan said.
"Investigators strongly believe that the caller was the last person to speak to Krystal prior to her disappearance.
"I believe this caller holds the answers to what happened to Krystal
and may be the father of Krystal's unborn child."
Police have not been able to locate Krystal's mobile phone.
One of the heavily pregnant woman's last known movements was
travelling from Bendigo to Pyramid Hill on a V/Line train.
Detectives established that Krystal got off the train at the Pyramid Hill Railway Station about 8.40pm the night she vanished.
She was last seen alive leaving an address in Albert Street, Pyramid
Hill, about 9.30pm, after vising an acquaintance.
Police said Krystal had been wearing an orange top, black tracksuit pants and a camouflage-patterned baseball cap.
A flyer posted on the windows of several businesses in Pyramid Hill in 2009 said Krystal had a deep voice and was streetwise, friendly and trusting. The flyer said Krystal had epilepsy and asthma.
She also lived with a mild, undiagonsed intellectual disability - the result of bleeding on her brain at birth.
Krystal was well known in the Pyramid Hill community. She was described as 167 centimetres tall, with short brown hair and crooked teeth.
Police in 2009 believed Krystal had been to a hairdresser in Pyramid Hill the day before she went missing.
Investigators believe Krystal was murdered. But her remains have
never been recovered.
"She would talk two or three times a day to her family via text or phone," the lead investigator at the time, Detective Sergeant Wayne Woltsche, said.
"And she didn't have any means or mechanisms to just disappear."
Homicide squad detectives and as many as 40 volunteers searched a property about 10km east of Pyramid Hill in October 2009 after receiving two tip-offs about the likely location of Krystal's body.
A 61-year-old Pyramid Hill man was arrested at Pyramid Hill last
year, interviewed by police and released pending further
inquiries. Police
confirmed within months the man was no longer a person of
interest.
The case was referred to the Coroners Court.
Detective Inspector Horan said it was unimaginable to try and
understand what Krystal's family must
have lived through in the past 10 years.
"After all this time it would be some consolation to be able to provide answers to Krystal's family let alone justice for them and Krystal in holding someone to account," he said.
Police said a reward would be paid at the discretion of the Chief
Commissioner, "for information leading to the apprehension and
subsequent conviction of the person or persons responsible for the
death of Krystal".
The Director of Public Prosecutions might also consider granting any
person who provided information about the identity of the principal
offender or offenders indemnification from prosecution.
Applicants would have to sign a deed of confidentiality to receive
the money.
Detective Inspector Horan urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au
Inquest into missing pregnant woman begins
A Victorian man who told police he may have been the father of Krystal Fraser's unborn child after she went missing has changed his story.
Ms Fraser, who was intellectually impaired, disappeared from regional Victoria while heavily pregnant 13 years ago.
The 23-year-old discharged herself from a Bendigo hospital against medical advice on the night of June 20, 2009, before jumping on a train after telling people she wanted to go to a party in Cohuna.
But she never made it to the party.
Investigators and Ms Fraser's family believe she may have been murdered by her unborn baby's father.
Three men were named as possible fathers - Peter "PJ" Jenkinson, Gareth David and Tony Gatt - during an inquest into her disappearance that began on Monday.
Mr David was interviewed by police after Ms Fraser's disappearance.
At the time he told police there was a chance he was the father of her baby, which was due just days after she went missing, the Coroner's Court heard.
He said they had sex in a lane behind a Bendigo pub in August or September 2008, and if the baby was his it could cost him his marriage.
But Mr David walked back this story, while giving evidence by videolink to the inquest.
"When I look back now, I just don't think we had sex," he said on Monday.
"We might have kissed and cuddled."
He said he asked police to change his statement at the end of the 2009 police interview, but this was not recorded in the transcript.
"I wished to correct a few statements and the lady detective was writing it down," Mr David said.
But a lawyer representing Victoria Police said the post-interview conversation did not take place.
Ms Fraser discussed trying to talk to a man named Gareth in her diary and wrote "he denies me even being pregnant and told me never to call him again".
She also wrote about hearing from Gareth four days before she vanished and she "might be talking to him face to face tomorrow".
Mr David said he did not meet up with Ms Fraser and didn't find out she was pregnant until he was interviewed by police. He also denied being asked to take a DNA test.
Earlier, Ms Fraser's mother Karen told the inquest she believed her daughter may have been killed by her unborn child's father.
"Maybe she told someone they were the father and they didn't want to be and things got out of control and somebody accidentally hurt her," she said.
"I just can't imagine anybody hurting somebody so vulnerable."
She said Ms Fraser told her she did not know who the father was, but contemplated doing a DNA test since she had a few different partners.
Her father, Neil Fraser, said she attracted "undesirables" who had no work and used her to buy drugs or cigarettes since she received a disability pension.
Ms Fraser received a 40-second call from a public phone at 11.59pm on the night she disappeared.
Almost three hours later, her mobile phone was pinged by a tower in Leitchville, 27km from the town of Pyramid Hill where she was last seen.
More than 20 witnesses will give evidence over six days, as the inquest before coroner Katherine Lorenz continues.
Witness tells inquest missing woman Krystal Fraser was paranoid, had drug debts
One of the last people to see Krystal Fraser alive has told a court he saw her get into a red station wagon on the night she disappeared.
Heavily pregnant and in Pyramid Hill, Victoria, for a birthday party, 23-year-old Krystal Fraser was with her friend Robert Glennie at his Albert Street home around 9pm on Saturday, June 20, 2009.
A coronial inquest in Melbourne has heard Ms Fraser, who had an intellectual disability, told Mr Glennie she was supplying cannabis, speed and pills to people in the small rural Victorian town and was paranoid and scared of the people she was working for.
Mr Glennie also told the court Ms Fraser said she owed people thousands of dollars.
Prompted by counsel assisting the coroner, Fiona Batten, Mr Glennie told the court that Ms Fraser liked to create drama in her life and that she was worried about her unpaid debts.
"I don't think she ever paid any of them, that's why they would come after her," Mr Glennie said.
"She said 'I've got to hide, they're after me' … 'they're after me, I haven't paid them'," he told the court.
New information comes to light
Mr Glennie has given two statements to police since the night when Ms Fraser went missing but only now has revealed new evidence.
He told the inquest on Wednesday morning that he saw Ms Fraser get into a red station wagon as she left his house on the night she disappeared.
Ms Fraser had an intellectual disability and was days away from giving birth when she discharged herself from Bendigo Hospital that morning, against medical advice.
She did not know who the father of her unborn baby was, but the inquest has heard from her parents Neil and Karen that their daughter told them one of three men — Peter 'PJ' Jenkinson, Tony Gatt or Gareth David — could be the father of the child.
Mr Glennie told the inquest that the child's father could be a policeman, while another potential was in Gunbower and another in Boort.
He told the court Ms Fraser had earlier arrived at his home in a panic, looking over her shoulder and telling him she needed to use the phone.
"She was erratic, all over the place. It was unbelievable, I'd never seen her like that. It was totally out of character," Mr Glennie told the court.
Mr Glennie said Ms Fraser tried to call a man called Bandy seven times, but he didn't answer.
Bandy was the nickname for a man named Allan Summers, who has since died.
Mr Glennie told the court Ms Fraser had left his house to walk across the street to her mother's house, but instead, he saw her get into a red station wagon after a man told her to "get in, get in".
He told the inquest he later saw the car burnt out in bushes.
When asked by Ms Batten why he did not mention the red station wagon before, Mr Glennie said police were part of the problem and that Ms Fraser did not trust the police.
He said she was worried her baby would be taken away from her because she was "smoking bongs".
Krystal fearful
Witness Nicholas Dingfelder told the inquest he got off a train in Pyramid Hill at the same time as Ms Fraser on the evening she disappeared, and when she saw a man walking along the tracks she said "I better go or he'll be angry", gesturing to the man.
"I noticed this guy walking along the train tracks, hands in his pockets, kicking rocks and knew then that they were obviously together. That's when she said she had to go," he said.
Mr Dingfelder told the inquest that the man appeared agitated and was "dressed too well in a jacket and dress shoes to be from Pyramid Hill".
"I can remember thinking he looked pretty fresh with a new haircut. He looked like a worker, like he had a bit of money. He looked like someone who had money, not from Pyramid Hill."
Another witness at the inquest, Jeff Osmond, told the court he was asked to be the godfather to Ms Fraser's baby, which she had named Ryan, but Mr Osmond declined.
Ms Fraser had lived at his house for about 12 months until the middle of 2008 when he said "he couldn't take it anymore" and cut contact with her.
He told the inquest he would drive Ms Fraser back to Pyramid Hill so she could visit Mr Jenkinson.
The inquest has heard that Victoria Police have named Mr Jenkinson as the primary suspect in its investigation into Ms Fraser's disappearance.
He is scheduled to appear before the inquest next week.
The inquest continues on Thursday.
Prime suspect named in Krystal Fraser inquest, detective 'very surprised' by unheard evidence
By Tyrone DaltonA police investigator has told a coronial inquest that he considers Peter "PJ" Jenkinson from Gunbower, Victoria, to be the main suspect in the 2009 disappearance of Pyramid Hill woman Krystal Fraser.
The 23-year-old had an intellectual disability and was due to give birth in a matter of days when she disappeared on the night of June 20, 2009.
That day she discharged herself from Bendigo Base Hospital's medi-hotel to go to a birthday party in Pyramid Hill.
Her sister Chantel Fraser told the inquest this week that she believed the father of the child was Mr Jenkinson, because "he was always in the picture".
On Thursday Detective Inspector Wayne Woltsche told the court in Melbourne that regular calls between Mr Jenkinson's phones and Ms Fraser's mobile stopped on May 13.
Ms Fraser then started receiving regular calls from a payphone until June 16.
"On that particular day [June 16] she received a phone call from the Leitchville phone box that goes for a period of time," Inspector Woltsche told the inquest.
"It's my belief that the 19 calls that get made to Krystal from that phone box were made by Mr Jenkinson.
"My personal belief is that perhaps Ms Fraser has decided that Peter Jenkinson may be the father of her child, and it is the motive for her disappearing on that night.
"Krystal herself is a fairly identifiable person, speaking to family and friends, she may be able to relocate somewhere else, but I just don't see that she'd be able to curb her personality and blend in."
Mr Jenkinson, who is being represented in court, is scheduled to appear at the inquest next week.
Rumour and innuendo
Inspector Woltsche told the inquest that the rumour and innuendo swirling in the small country town of Pyramid Hill in the weeks and months after Ms Fraser's disappearance continued to this day.
Three men have been identified as the potential fathers of Ms Fraser's unborn baby — Mr Jenkinson, Tony Gatt and Gareth David.
Counsel for the Chief Commissioner of Victoria Police, Andrew Imrie, questioned Inspector Woltsche about whether a local police officer named Ray Stone had improper relations with Ms Fraser.
Mr Woltsche said the suggestion had been looked into and nothing was found to substantiate it.
Under questioning by Mr Imrie, Inspector Woltsche told the inquest he was shocked after eight years of investigating Ms Fraser's disappearance to learn that the woman's former flatmate, Robert Glennie, saw her get into a red station wagon the night she disappeared.
"I nearly fell over — yes, I was very surprised," Inspector Woltsche said.
"He never mentioned a car. This is news."
This morning Krystal's best friend Jason MacPherson told the inquest he remembered "Glennie" telling him about the car.
"What do you think happened to Krystal?" counsel assisting the coroner, Fiona Batten, asked Mr MacPherson.
"Glennie heard the car door slam," Mr MacPherson said.
"When did he tell you this?" Ms Batten said.
"He told me he heard it a few weeks after, I guess," Mr MacPherson said.
The inquest into Ms Fraser’s death has also heard conflicting stories this week from family and friends who said she could not handle alcohol and, according to her sister, could not smoke a joint.
But the inquest heard Ms Fraser was known to run cannabis between Bendigo and Pyramid Hill and people taking advantage of her would slip her a $20 note for a silver foil of cannabis.
Blood-stained clothes
In a statement made to police this year, witness Susan McGillvray said Steven Jones, a friend of Mr Jenkinson's, had shown her a bag of clothing that appeared to contain something that looked like a stained shirt with stab holes in it.
The inquest heard that he told Ms McGillvray that it was Ms Fraser's dried-up blood.
Mr Jones has since died and the whereabouts of the clothing remains unknown.
"Clearly if he produced something that was believed to be blood on clothing, that would have been taken and seized, obviously, because at this point Mr Jenkinson was well and truly a suspect of ours," Inspector Woltsche told the court.
Mr MacPherson and Ms Fraser would regularly head to Mr Glennie’s house to drink alcohol and smoke bongs, the court heard.
On the night of her disappearance Mr MacPherson – a computer technician in Kerang – was supposed to head to Ms Fraser's house to fix her computer but he forgot, which reportedly made Ms Fraser angry.
According to Mr Glennie’s testimony, she was angry at the Bendigo Hospital where she discharged herself earlier that day, angry at Mr MacPherson for not showing up to fix her computer, and angry that a friend named Bandy "didn’t do what he was meant to do".
The inquest heard this morning that two bakery workers had identified Mr MacPherson as the man Ms Fraser was seen with at the bakery around 8.45pm.
"I used to speak to her all the time," Mr MacPherson told the inquest.
Ms Batten asked Mr MacPherson if he knew what happened to Ms Fraser.
"Don’t we all want to know? Put the family at rest," Mr MacPherson said.
Mr MacPherson told the inquest he travelled to Bendigo "heaps" of times in the weeks after June 20 to see if he could find his "good mate".
"In the weeks after I was going to Bendigo looking," he told the court.
"There were write-ups in the paper saying people had sighted her.
The inquest heard that Mr MacPherson's de facto partner said he was at home the night Ms Fraser disappeared, and phone records show he answered a call at home from Ms Fraser later that night when she was at Mr Glennie's house in Pyramid Hill.
The inquest before Coroner Katherine Lorenz continues tomorrow.
Court told main suspect in Krystal Fraser's disappearance was alleged father of her child
A witness has told the coronial inquest the primary suspect in the case of missing Pyramid Hill woman Krystal Fraser had allegedly been having an affair with the heavily pregnant woman.
Ms Fraser, who had an intellectual disability, was 23 and just days away from giving birth to a boy she had named Ryan when she disappeared on June 20, 2009.
A police investigator had previously told a coronial inquest that he considered Peter "PJ" Jenkinson, from Gunbower, the primary suspect.
Witness Denise Jones's husband, Stephen Jones, had been good friends with Mr Jenkinson before Mr Jones took his life in the winter of 2010.
Ms Jones claimed her husband stopped speaking to Mr Jenkinson after the primary suspect was questioned by police several weeks after Ms Fraser's disappearance.
"Steve was just gutted, he just could not believe what he was hearing because none of the family, nobody knew about it," Ms Jones told the inquest.
The inquest heard Mr Jenkinson attempted to visit Mr Jones with his new girlfriend, Nguyen, and their baby, but Mr Jones walked out of his home with a gun and told his former friend to leave.
"Steve, when it came to it, he was straight down the line. He didn't muck around," Ms Jones said.
Mr Jones's daughter, Shannon Connolly, told the inquest that as a teenager she remembered overhearing Mr Jenkinson tell her father he wanted Ms Fraser to get rid of the baby.
"He didn't want it but she did," she said.
Search for Krystal
A friend of Mr Jones, Susan McGillvray, took the stand on Friday, telling the court Mr Jones had become "possessed" with finding evidence of Ms Fraser's remains.
She claimed he had shown her a bag of clothing that appeared to contain something that looked like a stained shirt with stab holes in it.
"I asked Steve, 'Why do you tell me these things, why do you get me involved?'"
"And he said, 'You're a good person, you'll do what's right with this information'.'"
On another occasion, Mr Jones visited her shop crying and emotional, the court heard.
"He said, 'I told him, I told Pete, not the baby'," Ms McGillvray said.
"He was a very loving family man and very protective of children, and this had really upset him."
Two years ago, Ms McGillvray met with Ms Fraser's family.
"I mentioned to the mother the type of shirt that looked like was in the bag, and she said Krystal didn't have a shirt like that," she said.
Ms McGillvray revealed she now wished she had probed her friend further.
"I wished I'd asked a lot more questions because I've got kids and I'd want to know where they were," she said.
Mr Jenkinson is scheduled to appear at the inquest next week.
