Australia Australia - Paddy Moriarty, 70, & his dog Kellie, Larrimah, NT, 16 Dec 2017

Auction.....really?

This is stupid and kinda cruel. I guess ever since Lost in Larrimah came out the house has become sort of attraction. People need to remember that Paddy and Kellie were real people who didn't deserve what happened to them.
 
Apparently, A Current Affair tonight is going to have a piece about Paddy and the sale of his property.

There is now an online real estate listing about the property. realestate.com.au

And the realtors have put together a little video about the property, because the auction is on 7th May and they will be accepting bids from people who don't want to travel to Larrimah for the auction.

 
.
No price guide ... they are under strict instructions from the Public Trustee to sell Paddy's place for market value. I guess meaning that whatever a top bidder will pay is what they'll take.

(As per ACA on Ch9 just now)

I think Paddy had a 'wife' and child in a different remote community. The book looked into that a bit.
Perhaps the Public Trustee is settling Paddy's affairs and they will be the beneficiaries.
 

The home at the centre of one of the country's most famous cold cases is going under the hammer within days.

On behalf of the public trustee, Real Estate Central is selling the house "as is" at an on-site auction at 11am this Tuesday.
 

Missing man Paddy Moriarty's old house in the tiny Northern Territory town of Larrimah has sold at auction for $32,000.

From a crowd of seven registered bidders at the auction on Tuesday morning, a South Australian buyer who phoned in was the winning bidder.

The buyer is understood to want to use the home as an NT base for winter escape
