Wakool Crossing : A Modern-Day Investigation Into the Mysterious Death of a Young Woman in 1916
Overview
In November 1916, Hazel Hood, the beautiful 18-year-old daughter of a Riverina grazier, went to a local dance and never came home. Exploring Hazel's mysterious disappearance and the unexplained discovery of her body a week later in the Wakool river, this study leads readers through one man's journey to solve the puzzle of her death almost 100 years after the fact. As a child in the Mallee in the 1950s, author Mike Richards was told the story of Hazel Hood's tragic disappearance by his grandmother, Hazel's elder sister, who firmly believed she had been murdered. This investigative account unravels the mystery of the young woman's disappearance from the pioneer settlement of Wakool Crossing, near the Victoria-New South Wales border, and reveals the truth about what happened to Hazel Hood.
