Cauchi's 関心d parents,?Michele and Andrew Cauchi, had been trying to reach the 40-year-old in 最近の months.

After losing 接触する with their son, they ended up 接触するing his bank just to find out if he was alive and had been using his account.

'Mum, I just want to show you how beautiful Coogee Beach [is],' he wrote.

But the next time the couple saw their son was on television, carrying out the gruesome shopping centre attack.

'I walked in and my wife said, "It looks like Joel." I said, "It does a bit," but he had his 長，率いる 負かす／撃墜する,' Mr Cauchi said.?

Several other former romantic partners of Cauchi's have come 今後 since the Bondi stabbing.

One Brisbane woman, who （人命などを）奪う，主張するs she met Cauchi on Tinder in 2020, said she got the impression Cauchi was 簡単に looking to connect with people.?

A?Gold Coast?woman, who wished to remain 匿名の／不明の, told Daily Mail Australia about her 簡潔な／要約する 関係 with the knifeman.

にもかかわらず Cauchi's father 以前 telling Daily Mail Australia the 40-year-old lived a 'backpacker' lifestyle, which 伴う／関わるd 回転／交替ing between sleeping in his car and cheap 宿泊所s, the Gold Coast woman didn not 解任する Cauchi having an 利益／興味 in travel.
