Robert and Anne Geeves - both 64 - were charged with Amber Haigh's murder in 2002 .

The 19-year-old disappeared from her home in New South Wales Riverina without a trace.

Prosecution claimed the couple manipulated her into having Robert 's baby, then removed her from the equation when she refused to relinquish custody.

Defence said the allegation they killed Amber to steal her baby was baseless.

Justice Julia Lonergan found that prosecutors had failed to prove motive.
