I think it is unlikely that someone who was involved in a hit and run would stop, drag the body into their car and then dump it somewhere. But if it was that I guess the police would not alert the public.
I believe the lawyer is on the Gold Coast (works there but not sure where he lives) so that is an hour away. If GB-C was up all night planning what to do he certainly could have called his lawyer at 6 in the morning.
The timing on that Thurs 19th/Fri 20th is definitely what is confusing all of us!:waitasec:
Didn't want your post to vanish unseen
From media reports, the lawyer is based on the GC
Would have to be something really special I imagine, to get a lawyer to get himself personally to a house, first thing in the morning
So maybe 'mens club' network at work?
To summon a lawyer at that time of day, you'd have to be pretty damn fearful and convinced it was a matter of life and death. And would need to convince lawyer of same, no?
I mean, who has a lawyer's home number handy for such emergencies anyway? He's not a standard, suburban solicitor from what I understand, but instead is a gun criminal lawyer -- the kind which specialises in serious crimes such as murder, etc
Who took the kids home? We know nothing of that angle. Were they (person bringing the kids home) told that overnight, GBC was in such a state he'd succeeded in getting a lawyer onto the premises basically at sunrise?
When and by whom was the decision made to not only summon a top criminal lawyer and persuade him to attend physically, prior to reporting ABC as 'missing'?
What caused GBC and whomever else was involved at that point that the physical attendance of a top criminal lawyer was necessary?
Why did police respond as swiftly as they did, in person?
If it were me, I would have needed to be involved in something major and would have spent at least an hour or more in discussion with others (by phone or in person) before I would have reacted to the point I called a lawyer at that time of day/night
AND for that lawyer to agree the matter was extreme to the point he would drive from wherever to advise me in person and protect me when I got around to calling the police to report my spouse as 'missing'
