Hello again, all you amazing people.
It's been a while since I last posted, but I have kept up to date with all your sleuthing. As always, you have continued to impress me with your theories, ideas, expert knowledge and, overall, your endless support for Allison, her girls and her parents. For all of you, here is a big virtual hug from me:
:grouphug:
Lately, I've been thinking quite deeply about Allison, because I recently read her diary entries again. From reading Allisons diary, and considering the defences suicide theory, I feel that this is exactly what GBC was hoping Allison would do; that is, by putting her down and subjecting her to endless emotional abuse, Allison would cave in to her depression and take her own life. I believe this was GBCs Plan A.
However, being the strong woman that she was, Allison did not succumb to GBCs ploy. This would have frustrated him no end and lead to his Plan B.
Apologies in advance for the following, lengthy post. My thoughts were flowing and, as I am terrible with the time-frame side of things (despite reading all your fabulous entries many times), please forgive me for any "issues" you may find with my notes. Reasons I had the following thoughts were due to:
1) Seemingly no evidence of the Captiva being in the vicinity of where Allison's body was found; and
2) Trying to reconcile how OW could support GBC in such a strong and defiant manner (and why EBC seems almost "out of the loop").
Anyway, here goes...
Allison returns home (circa 7pm), after visiting the hairdresser, to a typical evening at home with GBC and the kids.
The kids, who are used to witnessing conflict between their parents, sense some tension between Mummy and Daddy, but go to bed as per their usual routine.
The topic of TM being present at the next days conference is brought up. Tension escalates, a verbal row ensues.
The kids can hear the row from their rooms, but, by now, are so conditioned to their parents fighting, that they dont get up to check what is happening.
The verbal stoush dissipates, but extreme tension remains. Allison heads to bed, possibly unsure about attending the conference the following day.
GBC, mentally writhing in anger, makes his move.
While physically attacking Allison, by strangulation, Allison fights for her life and leaves a range of scratches on GBCs face and body.
Allison is rendered unconscious and GBC, in a fit of panic, calls on NBC for advice.
NBC suggests dressing Allison in her walking gear, moving her from the house and leaving her in a location away from the house, so as to make it appear that Allison has been randomly attacked while going for a walk.
NBC offers to help carry Allison and agrees to meet GBC down the road from GBCs house, to minimise potential witness sightings, especially by neighbours who may have heard Allisons screams.
While dressing Allison, GBC comes to realise that Allison is no longer breathing. After a rough, but failed, attempt at resuscitating Allison, GBC is filled with immense distress and panic, so he makes another call to NBC.
NBC advises that they must still go ahead with their original plan.
EBC and OW are awake, at this point, concerned about the late night calls. NBC tells them a lie, along the lines of, Allison and GBC have had a big fight. Im going over there, to settle things down,
The kids are sound asleep, so GBC leaves them at home, alone, and proceeds to an agreed meeting point, to pick up NBC. Allisons body has been placed in the rear of the Holden Captiva. The neighbours dog barked incessantly, during the time Allisons body was moved to the car.
Upon meeting NBC, Allisons body is moved from the Captiva and into the boot of NBCs car. Towels and plastic sheeting, belonging to NBC, are used to line NBCs boot. Allisons body is then dumped at the location where it was eventually found Kholo Creek.
On the way back, NBC is dropped off at a bus stop, while GBC finds some industrial bins into which he can dispose of incriminating evidence - blood-stained towels, plastic sheeting etc, from NBCs boot.
The decision to leave NBC at the bus stop was so that NBC could monitor the Holden Captiva, which was parked nearby, plus potential witnesses to his BWANA vehicle, being driven by GBC.
GBC quickly returns to NBC, the two men return to driving their own cars and travel back to GBCs house.
Clean up of both vehicles commences.
NBC returns home. GBC calls NBC, via Facetime, to ask for advice about what steps to take in the morning. NBC tells GBC that he will go back to GBCs house in the morning, to support him.
GBC finishes cleaning the Captiva. He places his phone on the charger, but spends the rest of the early hours of the morning pacing the bedroom, thinking of alternative stories for the nights events.
NBC and OW arrive about five hours later, with NBC telling OW that Allison must have stormed off in anger, after fighting with GBC.
OW, still none the wiser about the situation, agrees to take the kids to school. Just prior to this, GBC tells OW one of his various versions of the route that Allison would have taken, during her walk. He also tells OW about what he has explained to the kids.
There is an agreement between GBC, NBC and OW that GBC and Allisons fight should not be brought up as a reason for Allison leaving the house, because of the potential shame it could bring to GBCs social standing. Instead, the story would centre around Allison talking one of her usual walks.
GBC eventually calls the police, to state that his wife is missing.
All in MOO.
