Every couple of months for the last 20 years I have thought about you and what those evil low lifes did to you. To think that things like them actually are created from humans is beyond my understanding. May you be resting in paradise. May you always be happy and now that your father has finally reunited with you, may you both share and catch up on those years lost. I know that those who deeply loved you also died with you in that last hour. I always pray for you, your always in my thoughts. Until we meet one day Anita. Rest in Peace, God Bless.

What happened to sweet, beautiful Anita proves to me that there is no god who cares a jot about the sufferings of the innocent. Our only consolation is that the 5 mongrels will never be released, and have copped their fair share of bashings inside jail.

Just finished reading your bio Someone Else's Daughter. I can so identify with this after having lost my 5 yr old son to a brain tumour, 15 years ago. You can't wish it on anyone else. I am in awe of your family and you. I know that you are a vey special angel up there in heaven and probably taking care of my now gorgoeous 21 yr old little man Nicholas. God bless you, Anita & your specail family!!

Rest in Peace Ainta. I was only 4 years old when you were taken Anita but upon learning later in my life what happened and the tragic way you were taken from us, that is unforgivable. Knowing that those 5 animals will never again see freedom is in some way a small victory. You have always been described as such a caring and sweet woman and I truly believe you are. I will always remember you and think of you when I look at the stars. Forever yours Sam

never many a day goes by that i dont think of anita cobby and the cruel way in which this beautiful soul was taken. i hope you are at peace and now with your dad and feel safe once more. god bless you anita

There was another link connecting me to Anita and it was Detective Kennedy. My mother Jean Callaghan nee Adams was adopted by Mary & Montford Adams of Randwick and they were related to Reginald Kennedy who was a Detective and whose sons (3) became detectives. My mother told me at the time of Anita's death that the detective working on the case is one of the Kennedy's grandsons. Uncle Reg as we knew him lived in Coogee. My mother lost touch with the Kennedy family after Reg died. My mother had a black and white photograph of the three Kennedy detectives, it was always above the TV set when I was growing up in Cremorne in the mid 1960's. My mother was very proud of them.

This terrible and grose murder changed my life forever, I no longer felt safe to travel and in 1989 had a severe 'panic attack'. I was not a nurse but working in a major hospital on the north shore at the time Anita was murdered and I use to travel quite a bit on trains. The phobia caught up to me in 1989. But in 1987 I was a neighbour to Cecily Lynch, Anita's aunty in Neutral Bay and she befriended me though we didn't discuss Anita but she taught me a little bit about drawing and gave me one of her paintings of a "red rose" which I gave to my mother. Cecily told me she was teaching or going to teach Anita to draw, this was the only time Anita's name was mentioned. Anita's memory will live on.

just watched the documentary on TV of Anita's brutal murder. The story has never diminished in it's sadness and horror over all these years. She was beautiful, (as are her parents) and I wish history could be rewritten. The 'never to be released' sentencing is in part some small consolation. Murderers in Australia rarely have that rider imposed on their sentences. In this case, for all 5 men, it is entirely fitting.

I remember I was at high school when I first read about the tragic death of anita and it touched me like no other story could. My heart go's out to all those blessed to have been close to her and her gracious parents. May those animals never known freedom again and may her light shine on forever!!

I was in primary school when this happened and i resided in western sydney - i will never forget this as long as i live such a tragedy and waste of a beautiful life

My father was a journalist who came home and told us more information than the general public about this unfathomable crime. The innocence of Australia died in that paddock with Anita. A beautiful lovely young lady at the hands of scum. They should have been shot. Bless her parents for unbeleivably finding the ability to forgive the scum and I still, 24 years later, hope the scum are suffering a living hell.

you to me annita were and will be for ever as brave as a loin im sure that you are sadly missed and you were more loved than one could image in i will shed no tears for you but i will smile knowing that i some how feel that i know you

My brother Pat worked as a nurse with Anita in Sydney shortly before her death - he told me what a wonderful person she was. My heart goes out to her family and I pray that she rests in peace.

God Bless Anita and her parents. Only saw it on Crime Investigations 03.05.2010. Cant get it out of our minds. So so sorry for Anita"s family. It is a living hell for them. God bless you all, although I cant think why you can believe in a God anymore. May the five low lifes who committed this most heinous of crimes, rot in hell for all eternity.

May God bless you and keep you safely with him Anita. May the scum who perpertrated these heinous acts suffer the rest of their days in the hell they deserve.

Forever, with tears in my heart. It is sinful that those men can still live in comfort. They should have been punished with the same suffering they forced on you. However that may be, that would be the only justice. I am sure you are resting in your deserved peace. So many forever have tears in their heart for you.

I saw the deatilsm on Anita's murder on CI. Life in prison is too good for the 5 animals who did this to this poor beautiful girl who had so much to give to people. It is shame to see them living on Australian Tax payers expense and spending more time in jail and teacing other criminals the same methods. They should have been executed the same day they were convicted. Only with the pain of slow death they can feel what they did to poor Anita. I amo so sorry Anita. In our world criminals have the right to live for ever in comfortable jail bu people like you must go so violently?? I hope Australian law makers introduce the capital punishmnent like in Asia and USA and realy try to put criminals like the 5 animals who did this to grave for good.

This is very sad. I just saw at Crime Investigation TV.

Anita, You don't know me but the night you died there was another young girl out that night with her baby daughter. She was making a phone call to her partners mother from a phone box, these boys came to the phone booth and harrassed her, I don't know what saved her that night, but I remmember what your dad said, "to wish it was not our daughter would be to wish it were someone elses". I have never forgotten that. You were found just a short distance from her home wher she was still recovering from the shock Blessings from a mother and grandmother.

Hey Anita, Have never forgotten you. My family have often brought your story upthroughout my years growing up. your still spoken of in families even today as a mother i am very protective of my duaghter its made me fully aware... god bless cant wait to see you with the creater..

I AM CURRENTLY READING THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE AND IT BREAKS MY HEART, TO IMAGINE WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU , LIFES JUST NOT FAIR! R.I.P

Anita I never knew you, but heard of the horror murder you suffered. Just recently my little nephew Dekalvious died - 2yrs old- he was hit by a car. He was laid to rest at prinegrove cemetry about 4 metres from where you now rest. Everynight my neice lights you a candle and my family looks after your burial site and we know you are there watching over all the little children there and our little newphew Dekalvious. thank you anita

i know i was there the day they found you

As a nurse and fellow human being....I remember with great sorrow the tragedy that unfolded the day that was reported of your demise....... The pain that we felt You will forever be remembered in the hearts and minds of everyone.....not only who knew and loved you but also of those patients you cared for....but also your family and friends and the Australian public who were and are still grieving for the pain you endured.....rest in peace for all eternity Anita.....the most beautiful of angels!!!

Dear Anita,you are in gods care now and forever,may you rest in peace,always remembered,never forgotten......

hey im emma im reading bout whaat had happened to her

Not a week goes past that I don't think of you as you are buried near my father and it is me who puts a rose on your grave. Your passing was beyond human comprehension. I went through a stage where I couldn't sleep, thinking of that horrific night. I pray that you are with God and that you know how many people still think of you to this day, 24 years later.

Anita, I never knew you but I do know that you did not deserve to have your life taken away from you. I know that you are with God and that you are now at everlasting peace with your father in heaven.

Anita, may you rest in peace. I cannot image how much you suffered. I can only hope the animals that murdered you suffer twofold. God Bless your beautiful parents also. RIP.

Anita, I know where I was when Marilyn died, JFK died, John Lennon died, and Princess Diana died, and also when you died. Tragic bookmarks in my life, I don't think one week goes by, without me thinking of you. I don't know why! It must be because you were so special, that you left a footprint on peoples lives. I know you're at peace, with your dad. Rest well darling. x

It's really sad to think what Anita had gone & my heart goes to her. God is great & every dog will have their day, so those responsible will pay for it. I'll think of Anita when i'm in Blacktown & God loves Anita more to have her by his side.

I have just finished the book a second time and stil can't believe what poor Anita went through. I admire the parents strenght and all the friends and families. God bless you all and Anita you live on in all our hearts.

Iv never met anita but when i heard about what that poor woman had to go through my heart goes to her, her family n all thoughs close to her. as for the monster, sooner or later theyll dance with the reaper

I think of u often i never knew u but i read ur sory and ur fathers book what horrors u must have gone through hope u are resting in peace now x x x

"Murder is a sick and sad word a crime commited by sick people against the innocennt" Nicole Collins Lauren Barry Nicole Hanns Ebony Simpson they all suffered the same horros as this bright loving young female Your life was cut short and i hope you feel no pain any longer-Rest in Peace

I had never heard about you until today. I cannot even imagine how brutal people can be. I wish the people who did this to you rot in hell and endure the same amount of pain that you and your family did. May Allah bless you with the highest honor.

RIP Anita. my heart goes out to you and your family. i hope the monsters who did this to you rot in hell. you are now a beautiful angel with God. RIP

Anita, I didn't even know you but i stumbled across your story. I am so horrified of what happened to you. I hope those men are punished for what they did, they should be subjected to the same pain they put you through. It sickens me that someone could do something so horrific. I hope they rot in hell. I hope you are at peace and with your family. At least those sick people cannot do what they did to any one else and i know they will have been punished. RIP Anita xxxxxxxxxxxx

dear anita you and your family are always on my mind and in my heart rest in peace sweet angel in gods care

RIP, Anita. I still think our death was a nightmare and that one day I will wake up....so I can't even begin to imagine what you and your family endured. I hope there is an afterlife, and that you and yours will be reunited.

I only heard about this horrific murder this summer when it was featured on a programme that I was watching on holiday. Ever since then, I haven't been able to get her out of my mind. I will never understand what takes over a human to do this level of violence towards anyone. They are not human, and animals is still to good a term for them. Nothing that evil should be allowed to live. I was so sad to find out that Anita's father died this year, but happy to know that they will be together again. I hope she is at peace and I hope her family has found peace too. My heart goes out to everyone who was in her life.

Dear anita rest in peace with your father,a special girl tragically taken way to early! But always in mine & every australians heart. RIP sweet angel

rose (17 Aug, 2009) I am sickened by the henous crime that was inflicted on Anita and her family. Who gives them the right to take a life and ruin the life of others!!!!! May you rest in peace.

zoe you summed it all up my friend. i pray anita is at peace, and i also agree wtih tina, what god allows this to happen?

i was around 20 when it happened, and the entire country was disgusted and outraged, and quite frankly those cretins should have been put to death. i hope to god they suffer in prison. i have to question what kind of god allows someone to suffer as she did. none that i can think of.

I have never forgotten the time i heard about Anita Cobby, it made me sick to think of what that lovley girl must have gone through. I will always be asking WHY?. I hope that you are at piece Anita, I believe that Mr Lynch is giving his beautiful daughter a warm cuddle. I feel for Mr , Mrs Lynch and Mr Cobby I have no idea how they coped with such an awful thing. I dont know what else to say there are no words that come to my mind, how can people be so cruel.
