"Steve has fought so hard for so many years, and it has been an honor to be part of his fight for justice," Fuller said.for breaking crime news, ongoing trial coverage and details of intriguing unsolved cases.
The police commissioner added that the Johnson family's dedication to uncovering the truth helped detectives continue on the decades-long investigation. "While we have a long way to go in the legal process, it must be acknowledged that if it wasn’t for the determination of the Johnson family, which inspired me and the Strike Force Welsford team led by Detective Chief Inspector Peter Yeomans, we wouldn’t be where we are today," Fuller said.
