The book was launched by noted pathologist Dr John Tonge who recalled the details of his work on the case before those attending.
The official launch was held a fortnight later outside the formed BAFS institute in Albert Street Brisbane. A few words were spoken by Detective Stewart Kerr's wife about the crime.
