A Current Affair: Aug 20

On Monday A Current Affair tracks down Chris Dawson, accused of murdering his wife Lyn Dawson 36 years ago, by two separate coroners.

Both Lyn & Chris Dawson also featured in a 1975 interview for ABC’s Chequerboard.

In January 1982, 33-year-old mother of two, Lyn, vanished from the family home on Sydney’s northern beaches.

The coronial investigations found that Lyn had been killed by a known person, her husband Chris. But the Director of Public Prosecutions has always maintained there is not enough evidence to prosecute and he has not been charged. Chris has always maintained his innocence.

At the time of Lyn’s disappearance, Chris Dawson, a high school PE teacher and a former rugby league star, was in a secret sexual relationship with one of his students. His twin brother, Paul, also stands accused of having relations with the same girl.

In a world exclusive, this Monday A Current Affair reporter Chris Allen tracks down Chris Dawson and challenges him with the allegations that have plagued him for decades. And for the first time, we also hear from his twin brother Paul in a fiery exchange.

It’s the explosive confrontation that the Dawson twins never saw coming as we ask the tough questions.

7pm Monday on Nine.
