Police are back at the house this afternoon - saw at least 3 cars. I wonder what's happening now? Very interesting.....
Jojo, any news yet on how long they stayed or how many were there? Any sign of any other cars?
Sorry, but the suspense is killing me.
With at least 3 cars it doesn't sound like its just a fresh eyes visit. I'm hoping something has come to light. Maybe he slipped up and told one of his "new friends" where something was????? oooooh, fingers crossed.
Wouldn't it be great if there was a mole in his cell?
Great to see you back CC!
I have always thought there was at least one accessory, perhaps largely in part because the police did mention so early on that an accomplice was a real possibility, and also the sightings of two cars. I now wonder if they may have said this to "encourage" GBC to come clean - if there was a possibility his family may be wrongly implicated, it might freak him out and force him to tell the truth? There was a lot of cat and mouse going on with the police/media/GBC in those weeks leading up to the arrest. Hopefully we will find out more about this.
Also, I am getting a bit more inclined to believe that GBC may have carried out the murder on his own, now that we know (allegedly) that the body may have been thrown over the bridge. To me this reeks of a desperate and alone (and stupid) GBC, freaking out and needing to do the deed quickly. If his father was involved at this point, I think it would have been planned and hidden a bit better. This is only my opinion and thoughts.
Does anybody have information as to whether GBC is in the general population at the Correctional Centre or has he been kept in isolation all these months? If he has been kept in isolation and single cell, it would be difficult for him to talk to the 'buddies' in there, but if he has been part of the general population, he is in there mixing with 'crooks', who to further their own cases, may have been 'spying' for QPS. I wish I was a fly on the wall in there!!!
Sure Obby. Motive is part of the intent element of murder, the reasons behind the intent. So there has to be an intent to kill or to do grevious bodily harm. The police case is that GBC's reasons/motives/intention to kill Allison was to collect on her insurances as he was in dire and pressing finance trouble and to get out of his marriage to be with TM and to keep his daughters. A double motive in essence. Having Allison dead solved all his problems!
Without a body, any insurance payouts would have taken a long time, a few years. But Allison's body was found after only 11 days, so if it was his plan for her body to be found, it worked well for him and the timing was perfect as the delay meant valuable evidence was destroyed including a cause of death. So the finding of the body was either very well planned or he just got lucky, we don't know! What we do know is that he was busting a gut to claim on the insurances with undue haste. That is not normal behaviour of a grieving husband.
So, do you think Nigelaine see GBC as guilty and are ashamed?? (just interested in your opinion of their stance)
(I actually had never considered that before....I have always assumed they know or guess he killed her but are professing his innocence til the cows come home. Now I think about this, it is really only an assumption I have made myself. OW has prefessed his innocence, but I'm not aware Nigelaine have???))
To answer the question why haven't they been arrested yet, maybe police know or suspect they are at least accessories after the fact, but have little to prove this. ???
Very well said.
And another perspective again.
I had always assumed, due to the email of Olivias that stated her unwaivering support, that she indeed believed in her brother 100%, but that was before the bail hearings. She may have changed her opinion since then, although we have no reason to say that she has.
She hasn't said or written anything to that effect since the bail hearings.
Surely they couldn't be looking for the phone at the house. If that phone was connected to Fig Tree Pocket tower before it went flat then why would it have been brought back to the house. I think that phone is long lost. But they could well be relooking for other evidence of course. I wonder if it is something specific or just another general search.
Olivia looked absolutely shell shocked following the first bail application. My impression was she walked in believing in GBCs innocence but walked out with a very different opinion.

I think he was lucky that the floods shortly after ABC died did not wash the body further down stream. I think he is absolutely "cooked" ... lover(s) and financial ruin are two very strong motives for murder!
I so wish that we had Court TV here and that the whole thing was televised!
:jail:
Thank you, Thinking!
I still believe she was rolled off the side of the bridge considering that she apparently had no fractures. There are too many mistakes in his so called "planning", therefore I do still believe she died in a moment of violence and not a specific planned date that GBC may have intended on harming her. I'm not saying that he may not have had thoughts of getting rid of her at some point in the future, but I don't think it was planned for that night/morning. I believe he acted alone and the FaceTime call to his father may have been to let him know what had happened, seeking help, panicking ... and it is possible that NBC did not want to get involved in his mess and left him alone to sort it out. My opinion only.
Alioop, can you help us? Have there ever been televised court appearances in Brisbane? Given that its so high profile?
