Detective Sergeant Stephen Page reopened Warren's missing person's file a decade ago and through dogged investigation found the much-loved weatherman's disappearance was linked to at least nine murders and countless brutal bashings by a gay-hate gang which rampaged through Sydney's eastern suburbs in the late 1980s.
