Anita Cobby

Description

The first episode of the New Year is a case out of Australia.  On February 2, 1986, Anita Cobby was walking home from the train station when a car pulled up alongside her. Two men grabbed her, forcing her into the car in full view of multiple witnesses. When details of what happened next were leaked to the public, many hoped to see the reinstatement of the death penalty in New South Wales.
