I suddenly thought of Denise today. Not sure why. It's been a long time ... where are you, Denise?

Copycat: Sydney businessman Bill Papas is missing after fraud allegations worth millions emerged from Westpac | Daily Mail Online

BBM I concur. I find it really distasteful that he keeps harping on about this.

Here's a free version of the SMH article in case the pay wall goes up: The early victims of Melissa Caddick: 'Forever’ friend, former boss, ex-husband

May I please ask why the previous threads were deleted?

With all due respect, the Daily Mail is following the rules this time. They didn't previously, revealing the suspect's name, etc., but they are now. The guy filing the reports for DM now is a Kiwi, reporting on the ground.

Absolutely. Not sure what's wrong with the NZ media - whether they're too scared to report something they shouldn't, or are just lazy. One TV news channel in particular leaves a lot of information out.

I'm bothered by Grace being a member of that BDSM-type Tinder app. I really hope they have the forensics on it to determine when 'her' profile was created. From Grace Millane's message to friend while on date with murder accused sent 'alarm bells': "Ashcroft was asked by police about Grace's...

With all due respect, different strokes for different folks ... you can't generalise about peoples' preferences be it by age group or anything else. Plus, certain movies have made this sort of thing less taboo for old and young people alike.

No way does 'life' mean life here ... someone (Clayton Weatherston) stabbed his ex-girlfriend 216 times in a rage and was sentenced to 18 years minimum non-parole. If found guilty of manslaughter he could serve out only half his sentence before being released. There's no guarantee he'll be...

Hmmm, it is a bit curious ... maybe someone who was meant to be present for 'something' couldn't make it ...

I think so ... or would imply otherwise and paint the suspect as a liar.

That's what I think too - it would be far too costly for NZ to foot that bill. Grace's parents will be here at their own expense. Yes ... I must say, I thought of Helen's case when I was listening to the details of this one, last week. Parts of the accused's actions also remind me of Clayton...

How awful that Grace's intimate life will be discussed ... it's just so wrong. Her poor parents. I just wish I could take them in and provide comfort whilst they're here :(.

The 6pm TV news here (well, one channel in particular) had zilch on the case before the first ad break which is really strange ... :confused:

The media seems very quiet on this today ...

His grandparents loaned him "a couple of hundred of dollars" a few years back but other than that, there's been no mention of his family being wealthy. If my memory serves me correctly his parents broke up when he was young - maybe he reconnected with one or the other later in life and they've...

Government assistance - or 'benefits' as they're known here in NZ are not easy to get - the first link below from the agency involved explains how they might be able to help, but it is on a case-by-case basis. Bear in mind that we have people here in NZ living in tents (one example is linked...
