Hi everyone, 

So much has happened in the last week. You might have seen our #KinghtsLaw rally on Bondi Beach - it was on all the TV stations. I was so nervous talking to all those TV cameras. Thank you all so much for your support  - without it, I don't think I could have made it this far. 

Standing with me at Bondi and at outside the courtroom last Monday was Tess Knight, Samantha's mum. It was the first time we've met in person. I am so grateful to her for walking with us at the rally. As a mum, I can't imagine the pain she has been through in her life since losing Samantha. 

We have had to confront a lot of painful memories at Michael Guider's release hearing. I was shocked to hear that Guider has been on day release from prison 20 times. 

Tomorrow (Tuesday) at 4pm, we will learn if Guider has to remain in prison until his final hearing. The alternative is that he is released back into the community until August, when the final hearing takes place. 

The thought of Guider being allowed back into the community makes me feel physically ill. He has shown no remorse for what he did to me, to Samantha, and to so many others. 

Until he does, and until he assists police by letting them know what he did with Samantha's body, I can't see how he has truly been rehabilitated. 

No body. No release. 

Pass #KnightsLaw.

I will update you all tomorrow once we know if Michael Guider is being released back into the community. 

I sincerely hope he is not.
