I sense a distinct air of scepticism emanating from this thread at this point re the latest drip from the SA police et al. I share it. It's the amount. I have to believe that the stoners of Alice Springs are so naïve and trusting as to give their hard earned cash to a wispy 18 yr old single mother to the tune of $25,000 to do runs between SA and NT... noooo I don't buy it. Karlie had no muscle behind her, not even a Dad, or the father of K, no brothers...
She may have been the driver, though.. this scenario has legs. He has lost his licence, HP is in hospital, and Karlie is otherwise unoccupied. But Karlie as the brains and management of it, no. She may very well have been the cleverer of the trio but she would not be perceived as such by those with the money.
So. I take this latest with the view of it being a direction under the auspices of the SA/NSW police with a view to a payoff, and it has a good chance of succeeding.. Nothing gets up the nose of stoners world wide than the hint of flapping mouths at Authority.. someone will break out, most likely.
And the timing of the news bite is interesting, also. HP is still nominally at large, so to speak... Holdom is uncontactable, and unable to issue directions....
