Guilty: Dawn Campbell
Claire’s mum Heather was always the prime suspect for abducting her five-year-old. Dawn had told officers she was Heather’s friend. Heather even asked for her at the station for support.
However Jim Walsh was identified as the person who led Claire out of the playground. When police searched his home, a photo of Jim with Dawn was found. Prison authorities claimed Dawn and Heather were enemies behind bars. This made Dawn a suspect too.
Dawn was arrested for taking money for the return of Claire “the product”. Hardnosed in the police interview, Dawn never did give up where five-year-old Claire could be found.
