How CCTV proved crucial in solving the mystery of Jill’s disappearance

When CCTV footage emerged showing Jill Meagher alive in the early hours of last Saturday, it briefly raised her family’s hopes she was still alive.

The 29-year-old Drogheda native could clearly be seen alive and unharmed, and talking to a man.

However, their hope was extinguished when Adrian Ernest Bayley, believed by police to be the man on the tape, was arrested yesterday.
