A defendant's cancer diagnosis can now be revealed, along with details of a second police sting that helped link one of the intruders to the crime scene.

Liz and James Vyver return to the pod to talk through the revelations. If you have any questions for Liz, James or Stocky you'd like answered in future episodes, please email thecaseof@abc.net.au .
