Robert and Anne Geeves have pleaded not guilty to her murder.More than two decades after young mother Amber Haigh disappeared without trace, the long-delayed trial over her alleged murder has been further postponed, after one of the people accused of killing her was too ill to attend court.
But on Monday morning in the supreme court in Wagga Wagga, as Robert Geeves was brought into court wearing a prison-issue green tracksuit, his wife, Anne, was nowhere to be seen. The pair have been on remand since their arrest. “At five to 10 this morning, we were first notified about the unavailability – well, asserted unavailability – of Anne Jeeves,” Lonergan told the court. “Apparently, an email was sent on Friday that did not reach our chambers because it was not correctly addressed.
In 2011, nine years after her disappearance, the state deputy coroner, Scott Mitchell, found that Haigh was dead “and that she died probably in early June 2002”.
