The tragic and unresolved death of Lachlan "Lachie" Jones, a Southland toddler found dead in a sewage pond in Gore in January 2019, continues to torment his family and community. This heartbreaking case has not only left a family shattered but has also shaken the sense of safety in our community.

Key details in this case are alleged to be concealed in Facebook messages that could provide critical evidence regarding claims that Lachie was deliberately thrown into the water. Despite the ongoing criticism, Facebook's owner has yet to release this potential evidence, which could be pivotal in revealing the truth behind Lachie's death and bringing justice to his family.

After two comprehensive police investigations, and with the coronial inquiry still open, the authorities are at a critical juncture where this information could significantly aid in progressing the investigation. but without crucial evidence from Facebook, the road to justice remains partially obstructed.

This is not just about Lachie's case but about ensuring cooperation and accountability from global tech companies, which must play their part in assisting justice systems worldwide. Facebook holds the power to make a significant impact on this investigation by handing over any relevant data they possess about the events leading to Lachies tragic end.

Urge Facebook to prioritize justice and transparency by cooperating fully with investigators in providing any potential evidence that may lie within their platform concerning this case. Help us secure justice for Lachie Jones and closure for his grieving family.
