I have a statue and I'm not afraid to use it

As if the Maxim scoop wasn't impressive enough, Public Address is once again proud to bring you news you'll be reading in tomorrow's mainstream media. Here is a leaked list of the top ten suspects in the disappearance of Napier woman Pania of the Reef. These people should not be approached without a camera phone.

Brownlee, Gerry
Means: Big fella, burly. Woodwork teacher, would know how to wedge her off the plinth.
Motive: Keeps damaging his paperweights in "frank exchanges of views" with McCully.

Clark, Helen
Means: Was in PNG at time, so could easily have got to Napier and back without anyone noticing..
Motive: Best way to keep Maori Party off front page is to get some other Maori on it.

Clark, Linda
Means: Took one day off air this week. Same day, statue went missing.
Motive: Just 48 hours prior, conducted long discussion on her show about collecting art.

Farrar, David P

Lunch, Eating Media
