It's been nearly four decades since the body of teen Mark Haines was found on railway tracks, just outside of Tamworth. Police initially concluded he’d died by suicide, but the 17-year-old's family has always believed it was suspicious. A coroner has now found that racism affected the initial investigation, with the case referred to NSW Police’s Unsolved Homicide Unit. 📺 WATCH ‘Blood on the Tracks’ Monday at 8pm on ABCTV and ABC iview   #AustralianStory #FirstNations #TrueCrime Watch more Australian Story documentaries here: https://bit.ly/36ABH2J Like us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/abcaustralianstory About Australian Story: The power of the personal.
