The story of Robert Farquharson is one that revolves around a central issue that the public and media struggled to accept about him. This issue was his behavior during and after a tragic accident involving his car and his three sons. Farquharson’s actions on that night were so unsettling and outside the norm for a father that police, as well as the community, immediately began to suspect him of foul play. This behavior became the sixth strand of evidence against him in the investigation.
More than just the technical details of the crash or the medical condition known as cough syncope, it was Farquharson’s own actions that raised suspicions and turned people against him. The emotional impact of watching the car sink, coupled with witness testimonies, further fueled the belief that he was responsible for his sons’ deaths. His behavior during the formal police interview also focused heavily on his actions that night, indicating that they were a key point of interest.

Is there another explanation for his actions that night?
