Seven years after being impounded by police, the orange and white Volkswagen Kombi driven by Peter Falconio when he was killed and his girlfriend abducted has been ‘released’. As crucial evidence, it’s been kept under cover all this time but is now out on the compound with crashed and stolen vehicles waiting a decision by the Falconio family and/or Joanne Lees about its future.
Knowing how little real intrinsic value there is in the vehicle I’d suggest crushing it to prevent it becoming some sort of macabre souvenir for some oddball. However, reports are already suggesting that the police might simply auction it off on behalf of the owner which is assumed to be Joanne Lees.

Seems Joanne Lees has made the decision about the vans future and that decision *is* to scrap it.
Can’t blame her.
