Shortly after Cathy Lawton posted a photo on Facebook of her and her husband Bob enjoying a drink at Kuala Lumpur Airport on March 7, 2014, her sister Jeanette Maguire sent her a text message.
Cathy, 54, and Bob, 57, were at the beginning of a much-anticipated Asian holiday, and Jeanette was hoping she would reach the couple before they boarded her next flight.
"I texted, 'Have a good flight, stay safe," Jeanette, 58, recalls to New Idea from her home in Brisbane's Forest Lake. "Her reply was, I'll try." It was the last time Jeanette heard from her sister, as just a few hours later Cathy, who was visually impaired, and Bob, a plywood factory worker, boarded MH370, the Malaysia Airlines flight that vanished shortly after departing Kuala Lumpur.
The Boeing 777-200ER seemingly disappeared into thin air on March 8, 2014, en route to Beijing, China, carrying 239 passengers and crew.
"Cath and Bob were nervous about the trip," recalls Jeanette. "Bob didn't like flying. And Cathy had been having nightmares about things going wrong."
