09:30 Calls for fish inquiry to be broadened

The Auckland University fishing researcher whose report exposed decades of fish dumping and illegal practice says he's concerned a new industry inquiry will be too narrow. The Ministry of Primary Industries will bring in a top lawyer to examine why fishing skippers weren't prosecuted during operations in the Timaru and Oamaru ports in 2012 and 2013, despite video evidence they were dumping fish. The inquiry will also look into a second investigation called Operation Hippocamp, which shows an MPI investigator thought the ministry was putting prosecutions in the "too hard" basket.  Dr Glenn Simmons was the lead researcher of the catch reconstruction for the 1950 - 2010 period

10:05 Joanna Connors with the story of her rapist

In 1984, Joanna Connors was a reporter in Ohio for the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper when she was raped by a stranger at knifepoint while out on an assignment.

Her rapist was quickly caught and prosecuted, but for the next 22 years, as Joanna Connors got on with her life, and raised a family, and tried to deal with what happened to her, she was always wondered about the backstory of David Francis, the man who raped her.

A few years ago she wrote a series of award winning pieces for the Plain Dealer about what happened to her, and about why she decided to try to track him down.

Now her memoir is out, titled,  I Will Find You, which chillingly is the last thing David Francis said to her.
