New Zealand police apologized after losing the 1985 murder case file central to a new appeal by Ross Appelgren’s widow.
New Zealand police have apologized to the family of Ross Appelgren, convicted in the 1985 murder of Darcy Te Hira, after admitting they lost the original investigation file, which has not been found despite searches.
The file, last accessed during an unrelated homicide case, is critical to a new appeal by Appelgren’s widow, Julie, seeking to overturn his conviction.
The loss raises concerns over police record-keeping, as homicide files are supposed to be retained permanently.
The appeal, delayed for years due to health and financial challenges, is expected to be heard by the Court of Appeal next year.
Police have declined to detail how the file was lost, citing ongoing legal proceedings.
