Almost 22 years since Hayley Dodd vanished from a remote West Australian road,  convicted rapist Francis John Wark has been sentenced to 18 years in jail for the teenager's manslaughter.
It is the highest sentence ever imposed in WA for manslaughter, and Justice Stephen Hall ruled the killing was in the worst category of the offence.
Wark, 65, was made eligible for parole after 16 years but with new "no body, no parole" laws — introduced in WA at the instigation of Hayley's mother — he faces the prospect of serving the entire sentence behind bars if he does not reveal the location of the teenager's remains.
