Missing woman tied up in cop's
Bathurst woman Janine Vaughan was seen tied up in the car of former NSW police officer Brad Hosemans shortly after she went missing, the Police Integrity Commission (PIC) has been told.
In explosive evidence heard by the PIC during a private hearing on Wednesday, a 31-year-old female witness, known as RA1 said Ms Vaughan was trying to get her attention.
"As I approached the car I saw a very distressed woman sitting in the front seat and trying to get my attention and appearing to wave when I realised her hands were tied together ...," she told the PIC.
"Her hair was as if it was standing on its end (very messy).
She said the man driving the car had a "clean cut look" and "looked shocked", a transcript of the proceedings released by the PIC, read.
"I knew this person to be Brad Hosemans, as he was a policeman in Bathurst, and I knew his sister in Bathurst ...," the witness said.
"At this time I was slowing down and approaching the street and about to turn into it, and I was able to see Brad Hosemans (sic) and Janine Vaughan quite clearly."
Until this evidence was heard, the last reported sighting of Ms Vaughan, a store manager, was as she accepted a lift outside a Bathurst nightclub early on December 7, 2001.
The PIC is examining the way police handled the investigation when Mr Hosemans was a person of interest in Ms Vaughan's disappearance.
Mr Hosemans led the Vaughan case for several days before Detective Inspector Paul Jacob took over.
He has always denied any involvement in her disappearance.
