The sons of the couple have spoken out in the wake of the recent verdict, urging their father to disclose the location of Fulton’s remains.
This conviction brings a measure of closure to the case that has haunted their family for 40 years, offering some solace to the children who have endured decades of heartache.
Outside the courtroom, Heath Fulton expressed the emotional turmoil they have faced, saying, “We grew up surrounded by confusion and grief.”
He contrasted his father’s life with that of his mother, stating, “While he lived a full life—traveling, thriving, reinventing himself, even changing his name—my mother never had that privilege.”
“He had the privilege of time, my mother did not.”
Sharon Fulton was last seen at her Duncraig home in March 1986, she was 39 years old.
Her body was never found but a breakthrough after a 2022 inquest led to Raymond Reddington’s arrest.
“I have lived with him, I have experienced the control, the deflection, the blame,” Heath said.
“Silence gave him space. Today, that silence ends.”
The defence argued in the three-week trial there was “no body, no weapon and no proof” but a jury disagreed, giving a guilty verdict after four hours of deliberating.
The court heard the now 79-year-old murderer is terminally ill, with just months to live.
His sentencing date is yet to be set – the prosecutor saying it would be a “perversion of justice” if the killer died before learning his fate.
“Today’s verdict closes a chapter in our lives,” son Deryck Fulton said.
“The last chapter is finding mum’s body so that we can bring her home and give her the respectful burial she deserves.
“Mum you are not forgotten, you are not erased, you are not just a case file, you are our mother.
“I promise you I will not stop searching for you and the full truth of what happened to you.”
