Thanks Marlywings and Mani. I shall go look. I also posted a question in the threadiquet (how ever that's spelled) thread.
Go up to posts 648 and 659 Cheers
I've always thought this too Mani. It just doesn't make any sense. As you say - why would he not drive his car? And if he didn't want to drive, why would GBC not just pick him up in Durness St, which is much more discreet than the roundabout and relatively close?
I was thinking that the only reason he might wait at the bus shelter is if, eg, he had been out drinking/at the pub/out somewhere that night when GBC called him, so he got a taxi to the roundabout so he was at an easy spot to be picked up (and maybe didn't want his wife to know at that point) - but really this is all a bit far-fetched and I find it very difficult to believe.
I think Whatif has made a good point that is a possiblity UT. If you didn't want to use your own car and you wanted to be picked up late at night, what would look more suspicious to someone driving by - sitting at a bus stop or waiting in a sidestreet?
Whatif, if the story about the man at the bus-stop is related to this case, you have given me food for thought about why he chose to sit at the bus-stop.
Thank you.
Note to original post - UT, I wish the Net had tone! lol - Big hugs to you - unfortunately we are not able to hear the other person's tone (of voice). I posted on here earlier today that I thought the story was BS but.........
reading Whatif?'s post has resonated and I can now see that the sitting at a bus stop is a possibility. Cheers. I hope that makes sense.
Thanks Mani, glad to help. I think if he wore dark clothes and walked the back streets as much as possible, there is only a short distance (near the roundabout) to be visible to any passing traffic. This makes sense to me if you didn't want the neighbours to hear cars coming and going in the middle of the night. Maybe thats why he was sitting there when seen to regather his senses before heading home.
Sorry if this has been covered before, but can anyone explain to me on what basis the police can state that a victim "knew their killer"? Is this based on physical evidence? Couldn't a stranger still strangle someone?
..makes perfect sense, thanks for clarifying.. just been one of those days. so I possibly took things different to were meant. I feel a bit silly. I agree it can be difficult when you can't pick up tone! thanks again..all good. big cheesy grin from me.

I have also wondered why they would say "knew her killer' or on what evidence they may have to know this...

Firstly police said
"POLICE believe Allison Baden-Clay knew her killer"
http://www.news.com.au/national/kil...ce/story-e6frfkvr-1226353911863#ixzz1x05iNCbj
To me this was said for a few reasons
- statistically murders are usually committed by someone who knows the victim. Something up round the 80-90% I believe
- police going on a hunch based on the evidence they had at the time
- make the perpetrator sweat it out and maybe come looking for answers or making excuses and slip up.
It has been mentioned that the Prado was Allison's car not GBC's.
"Caviar" mentions GBC had a car accident outside C21 Taringa but no mention of which car this occurred in. He may very well have had this accident - in his car...the Captiva.
"We need to find her"
Then why didn't you look for her Olivia? You never did!
Hi Mani,
The bus stop is on the LHS as you drive out towards Kholo Creek. This is the stop adjacent to the Kenmore State School pool.
Secondly, to walk from NBC's home in Durness Street to that particular bus stop is quite a hike and a lot of uphill (up Kilkivan Ave), so I sincerely doubt that he got there via walking.
Thirdly with the insider/verified posts...what I posted today and that has been removed is true. I did PM Kimster to ask her about the verification process. I'm not entirely comfortable with this either.
Cheers

See, then this is different again.....Because I was of the understanding that the person who did stop, actually knew at that given time, that it was Nigel Baden Clay (not just some elderly guy). So now, we have two people who have seen Nigel at the bus stop outside the Village that night.....One that knew him, and one that saw some elderly guy at the bus stop.
It was pointed out many threads ago that direct family are usually not allowed to help in a search for a missing person if they believe there is foul play involved. (can't remember who said this)
Photos of Allison were given to police, probably from either Gerard or the parents, and that is about all they would let them do.
