Australia - Russell Hill & Carol Clay Murdered While Camping - Wonnangatta Valley, 2020 #8

[Cliff Hardy]

Long, deserved holiday coming Greg Lynn's way.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Guilty! YES!

Oh I posted too soon after I saw it on X.

Not guilty for Russell.

 

[Cliff Hardy]

Of course I've been following it. I want to know what evidence you think clearly points to a double murder because it seems even the jury is struggling to see with your clarity.

Clarity came to them in time and Lynn will be off the streets for a long time.

 

[mirage1]

No surprise. There was always doubt about how he Killed Hill but for Clay there was no plausible explanation other than Murder as she was the witness.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

I feel like responding with a sad face because I believe he is guilty of both.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

What a good guy, he only murdered one of them.

 

[Detective Willy]

Hopefully he gets some additional charges for interfering with corpses?

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Is the premise that a fight with Russell did happen in which he died, then Carol was murdered because she was a witness ?
IE Russell died first.

 

[Cliff Hardy]

Hopefully he gets some additional charges for interfering with corpses?

Trouble is, even if he does they will probably make the terms concurrent.

The good news is he will likely get 25 years anyway.

I think that's the only way to interpret the result.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Carol must have been absolutely terrified at being hunted down by him.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Thinking this is the end is probably wishful thinking.

No doubt he will appeal.

If he does and there's a new trial I hope he gets found guilty of both murders.

Jury reaches a verdict in missing campers case

A verdict has been reached in the murder trial of Gregory Lynn - the former Jetstar pilot accused of the murders of missing campers Russell Hill and Carol Clay.

[Cliff Hardy]

With the verdict out of the way, now we will start to hear about what sort of person Greg Lynn really was.

Think it is going to make for interesting listening.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

I had read a bit somewhere by fellow pilots. They didn't have a good word to say about him.

What the jury wasn’t told about the missing campers case

Five hours of former pilot Gregory Lynn’s police interview, 5000 secret recordings and details about his first wife’s death were excluded from his murder trial.

Paywalled unfortunately. Anybody an Age member?

 

[TootsieFootsie]

I"d be interested to know the real reason he changed his car colour the first time as I don't believe it was because it was to cover up rust or because he didn't like the colour.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Paywalled unfortunately. Anybody an Age member?

It mentions they were not told details about the death of his first wife.

Is the premise that a fight with Russell did happen in which he died, then Carol was murdered because she was a witness ?
IE Russell died first.

Or the jury members made a deal: we'll give you Russell if you give us Carol. Shouldn't happen, but I wonder.

I think that's the only way to interpret the result.

Lynn destroyed Russell's drone, he was not a happy camper.I think its reasonable to believe there was a conflict. It may have been a lot more one sided than his version paints. It still astounds me that everything he did after their deaths was to preserve himself. No thought for their families, friends and the lifetime of trauma.
