There was a bottle of quinine tablets that was in his pockets that are commonly used to treat malaria that he probably got from when he was in the army. There was also a letter.
The letter that was found in Stan’s possession was from a woman whose name was Kate. In the letter Kate confessed that she had met a guy at a dance in Sydney and had grew fond of him. The guy...
