Inquest Reveals Key Witness Fears in 1988 Death of Mark Haines

A new inquest examines the mysterious death of teenager Mark Haines, with witnesses claiming fear has prevented crucial testimony.

Mark Haines, a 17-year-old Gomeroi teenager, was found dead on train tracks near Tamworth, NSW, in January 1988.
A new inquest is investigating the circumstances of his death and the initial police investigation, driven by his uncle Don Craigie's efforts.
Witnesses have testified that Tanya White, Haines' girlfriend at the time, is too scared to reveal what she knows about the night of his death.
Natalie Maher, a friend, claims White knows who was in the car with Haines before his body was discovered.
The inquest continues in Tamworth, with more hearings expected to be scheduled in the future.
