The Bundaberg NewsMail of April 5, 2013 has an article entitled "Death Mask Mystery...Could it be Ned Kelly's?"
It begins with:
A ghoulish memento of Australia's most infamous outlawed bushranger could be on the Fraser Coast.
Torquay woman Valerie McKie believes she has a rare death mask of Ned Kelly, one of only a handful in existence.
She was given the mask by her late partner Stan Jones, father of the 1980 Formula One world champion Alan Jones, before he died in the 1970s.
Stan told her it belonged to a prominent bushranger and was worth a lot of money.
"I think it might have been the big one," she said.
"It's someone important and it's a bushranger from Victoria.
"I wasn't told it was Ned Kelly but Stan said it belonged to someone very famous."
