Papers by Richard Giles
James Stack, the Otahuhu murderer was accused of the murder of four members of the Finnigan family. They were found missing and their bodies, with the exception of a son, were discovered buried on the property boundary where they lived. The missing body was discovered several years later.
Stack's connection to the family was by marriage to Mary (victim), one of Finnigan's daughters who had died at the time of the crime. He was a friend of the family, which he demonstrated by helping with the upkeep of the Finnegan's home and his friendship with the sons. They were James, Benjamin and John.
It wasn't until 3 years after the discovery of the first 3 bodies that the body of John Finnigan was discovered in the garden of the family allotment.
