In the midst of all our enthusiasm to find the truth in this terrible situation we need to remember that the police don't always get it right!

Something in the back of my head keeps saying that maybe we and (maybe the police) are missing something major in our collective efforts to solve the "minor" matters. I say this with full respect to QPS.
And surely the police would be totally professional and know a lot of things.
But then again, the Azaria Chamberlain story went from a simple matter to an unrecognizable matter totally bizarre. More like something that would sell stories and make ratings and maybe even make a good TV story. That was before Internet and sleuthing sites such as this, where members of the general public can have a say.
Maybe in this matter, it's a bit like "you can't see the forest for the trees."
What has prompted this uncomfortable line of thinking, is partly Obsessor, who wants to keep looking at stuff that we have definitely got.
Example; We see a face with great gouge marks. Yes it might have been a wild animal. Or he might have slipped over and fallen in the bathroom. But the end result is shocking. And coincidentally it appears to have happened the very night the wife went missing. Need to check it out further maybe.
We also appear to have a unashamed liar, so in that knowledge we should take all that person's words with a grain of salt. Expect lies.
We have a deceased person under a bridge, that's a definite. And for the first time everyone seems to accept how she possibly came to be there. Good one Doc.
We have reports of phone calls to Insurance before the body was identified.
What I am saying is this: We do have some definite facts. Actually there are quite a few definite facts or clues.
Somehow we need to be able to see the forest. Some big trees, or possibly a big tangle of bushes that is preventing us from seeing clearly.
I don't have the answers by the way, but keep thinking that sometimes the simplest things might be the correct things.
PS The Chamberlain matter was a terrible eye opener for me. It grew out of all proportion, and IMO quite unnecessarily.
