'We will never give up': Community's extraordinary efforts to find woman's killer

The Cairns community has come up with a determined plan to find Toyah Cordingley’s killer after the young woman’s body was found on a remote beach last month.

Family friend David ‘Prong’ Trimble, devised a plan to print 9,000 bumper stickers encouraging people to come forward with information about Ms Cordingley’s death.

“I thought to myself, I’ve got to do something else,” Mr Trimble told Yahoo7.

He said he got the support of the local paper and a radio station to let Cairns residents know about the bumper stickers.

“It just snowballed from there and that was only a couple of days ago,” he said.

The stickers urge people to give the police information about the crime, after Ms Cordingley’s body was discovered in dunes at the beach, north of Cairns, on October 22, less than a day after she’d failed to return from walking a dog.

“Toyah, the community will never give up,” the stickers, which are decorated with sunflowers, say.

The stickers list the Crime Stoppers number and a message urging people, “tell us what you know… not who you are”.

Mr Trimble says the community response has been “absolutely amazing”.

“Up til now, there are about 6,000 delivered out into the community in Cairns here today already.”

Three local businesses, Aldine Printers, Inspired Signs and the Copy Shop Business Centre, volunteered to print 3,000 free bumper stickers each.

It comes after Mr Trimble organised a search of Wangetti beach on November 4.

“We had 514 people turn up and we had at least 350 on the search,” Mr Trimble said.

“Once we went on that Wangetti walk that was a very good response there, but this bumper sticker is just, even the police have said it is one of the biggest and best responses they’ve ever had in Cairns here.”
