Four Corners will bring you the second part of its special investigation into the Lindt Cafe siege. The program will take you inside the Lindt Cafe and the police operation as it dragged on into the night, and present a forensic examination of how the disaster unfolded. The families of hostages Tori Johnson and Katrina Dawson tell of their experiences during the siege as they watched and waited nearby. They recount their fleeting communications with their loved ones through heartbreaking phone calls and text messages from inside the cafe. In interviews with the surviving hostages, reporter Sarah Ferguson examines the opportunities missed in the course of the siege. And as the Coroner makes his findings, the families left behind reflect on the gruelling 18 months of hearings and the evidence presented during the inquest. In a Four Corners exclusive, the families of Katrina Dawson and Tori Johnson will talk to Sarah Ferguson in the days following the Inquest findings.
