Hi everyone,
First time poster but have been following the posts here for a while. I stumbled onto this forum as a link was posted in another forum whose main focus is fashion. Thank you for reposting some links as they have been good memory joggers as there is a lot to take in.
I read Alicat's post about her creepy feelings when travelling over the Kholo creek, before Allison was found. I just wanted to say to Alicat; your intuition was spot on.
From the beginning, how the story of Allison's disappearance has unfolded has just seemed weird to me. Apologies to all of you for having to read similar comments/questions that have been posted before but these questions have gone around and around in my head and don't make sense.
Why oh Why did Allison's husband not go down to the command post, not once but every day to see how the QPS were going? I understand that he might have been told not to do certain things by his lawyer but how could you not? The men and women from QPS and SES worked tirelessly every day. How could you not at least go and thank them and offer support or food/drink?
Why did he not make a public appeal to find his wife? Why did he and his sister in that one interview use the phrase "be returned to us"? That is very odd wording IMO.
Why has he not made a public display of thanks after Allison was found to those that helped find her, including the canoeist? Thank God that person was there and found Allison but I feel for them too as the memory of what they saw will probably be a lasting one.
I think about the Dickies and their constancy to find their daughter and now to find who did this to their daughter. I think about the police officer whose shoulder Geoff Dickie cried on and how resolute that person will be in finding who did this to Allison after having shared Geoff Dickie's grief that day.
I think about Allison and how her story has touched so many people. It seems senseless what happened to her. I can't understand what would motivate anyone to hurt her. But someone has. They deprived this beautiful woman and mum of her life and they placed her outside, in the elements, in the cold, maybe on the banks of the creek, maybe in the actual water; we won't know until QPS release the autopsy results. But again, one thing is certain; whoever did this left her in the bush. Whilst we were in the comfort and warmth of our homes, Allison was not. Who could do that to a mum and deprive her of her children and vice versa? I just don't get it. It is senseless and it is a callous and cowardly act IMO.
I have every faith in QPS and I hope Allison's family will have answers to what happened soon. I am glad for the residents of Brookfield that the police have announced that the person who did this to Allison was possibly known to her, so that they may have a feeling of safety to walk about in their area once more.
