Yep, and that's my one sticking point too, Sheldor.

Yes, I have wondered about this too. What if, assuming that anything is possible and that this forum isn't just a lynch mob for GBC, that he gave her his phone, went to bed and then Toni called or texted and ABC intercepted this call. She realises with horror, after everything GBC has promised...

And yet "Honesty, integrity and no surprises" was his corporate mantra. A little too ironic, Alanis Morissette?

At this point I don't see where he will be caught out in lies. The blurry bits (the part in between where Allison is seen alive and the next morning) have apparently been explained away by sleep. Deep, snoring sleep. Everything else - the affairs, the deception, the debt - have all been squared...

Families are funny things. My in-laws have an understood code about what they can and can't speak about. Unpleasant things, especially those involving indiscretions on their children's parts, are NEVER spoken about. The weather, on the other hand, is fair game (because no-one caused that, at...

And that's the kicker. GBC was spending about $300/wk max on rent for that house in Brookfield. He accused both Jocelyn and Phill today of flashy spending, yet he too was receiving $5500/wk when the going was good. Where was that money going? It had to be going somewhere? Family trust?

I know Phill, Doc - and ditto!

But didn't he tell Phill Broom about his plans to get a bigger car for his newly blended McHugh family?

It'll be interesting to see how he starts out on Monday because my feeling is that he's almost pushed the envelope too far now in terms of indulging people's curiosity and interest. It's all well and good to hear a nice romance/wedding/honeymoon story but not when it's from someone who allegedly...

Thanks, Doc. I have always felt that if Allison's body was deposited that night, it wouldn't have been dropped over the side of the bridge. Too exposed, too noisy, too risky. I have always felt the driver(s) went into that little culvert area and walked down through the bush (about 10m)...

This, too, sounds very plausible. With so many possibilities, will the jury convict?

Excellent point, Doc. But is the distinction clear enough for the jury (12 very normal folk)? Hopefully.

Re: insurance money ... true dat. But if I was going to kill myself (now there's a cheery sentence I shall never utter again), I wouldn't destroy my phone. I would - oh wait, that's what you're saying. Makes sense. Sheesh, as you were. Trooper, when are you going to write a book? I want to...

Exactly, Doc. Highly improbable, almost unbelievable. But then why would Gerard have chosen a Scout location of all places? Why somewhere that Allison's body might never have been found if he needed that insurance money? What I'm saying is ... NOTHING MAKES SENSE HERE. Gerard isn't the first...

Haha! I have actually read that book. It was crap. Completely implausible and none of the characters rang true.

13km is not too far to walk, especially if you're pissed off and on a mission and you know where you're headed. You've got all night - 13km is nothing. And if you've taken the pills (and I say this because a good family friend did this last year in north Qld, took the pills and crawled under a...

Agree. Everything within me says the same. As a mother, I would NEVER leave my children, and I have actually been at the bottom of a traumatic pit where that was a possibility. I don't believe Allison would have planned this, but a good friend - well connected to the situation - raised the...

I have been here almost from the start, sometimes with vigour and sometimes as a very occasional interloper. I have wrestled with my position many times. I was referred here by a former friend of GBC's. Like many people on here (I imagine), I have a close connection to this case and I do intend...

Is Gerard going to speak in Swahili? Why does he need Byrne as an interpreter before the fact?

How would he feel comfortable telling the school principal if his own parents didn't already know? The answer is of COURSE they must have known. Nigel was deliberately ambiguous on the stand. MOO.
