Lachie Jones: A father wants answers about his toddler's death - does he have a case?

In January 2019, three-year-old Lachie Jones disappeared on a summer evening. Several hours later, he was found floating face-up in an oxidation pond south of his home in Gore. Police ruled it was an accidental drowning, but the boy’s father has long disagreed - and now has a legal team on his side. So what really happened to Lachie Jones, and is there any chance his father's fight will lead to a new investigation? Today, NZ Herald reporter Kurt Bayer joins Damien to discuss what could have happened to Lachie Jones.  Read more about Lachie's case here.
