In 2011 Dean Richard Mulligan was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of his girlfriend Marice McGregor.
Marice was reported missing by her family in April 2010 and it emerged she had not been seen or heard from in the 10 days before they approached police.
For weeks police searched and appealed for information - as did Marice's family.
What happened to Marice? How did she die? And what was her killer's explanation?
In this episode of A Moment In Crime host Anna Leask - a senior journalist for the NZ Herald - tells the story of Marice McGregor and the callous man who killed her.
