Robert and Anne Geeves have been acquitted of the murder of Amber Haigh, who went missing in New South Wales in 2002 at the age of 19, leaving behind her five-month-old son. The couple, both 64 years old, spent over two years in prison while awaiting their trial, which lasted nine weeks in the New South Wales Supreme Court. Robert Geeves is the father of Haigh’s child. The verdict marks a significant development in a case that has remained unresolved for more than two decades.

The long-standing mystery surrounding the disappearance of Amber Haigh is set to reach a significant turning point as a judgment is expected to be delivered on Monday. The nine-week trial of Robert and Anne Geeves, who are accused of murdering the teenager in 2002, has concluded. Amber Haigh, who had an intellectual disability, went missing in June 2002 from the Riverina region of New South Wales, leaving behind her five-month-old son. The case has remained unresolved for over two decades, and the upcoming judgment will address the allegations against the Geeves couple in connection with her disappearance.

A court in New South Wales heard that a couple from country New South Wales allegedly used the intellectually disabled teenager Amber Michelle Haigh as a "surrogate mother" so they could have another baby before they killed her. Robert and Anne Geeves, who now reside in Harden, are facing one count each of murder in connection with Haigh's disappearance in June 2002. The prosecution outlined their case during the trial, suggesting that Haigh was "removed from the equation" after giving birth. The tragic case has shocked the community and raised questions about the treatment of vulnerable individuals.
