This case is certainly all circumstantial evidence, but all the pieces add up IMO .
"Mr Carr said there was no forensic evidence and the case would rely on circumstantial and tendency evidence."
The cops have worked very hard .
It seems like I have been following this case for a life time
( it has been nearly 7 yrs )
This week we should have a result & I'm fairly confident of a guilty verdict .........
These are just some of the pieces & facts alleged by police
- The cash reward.............. that police say he could never pay & made the offer knowing he would never have to. “A reward of ten thousand dollars is being offered to any person who provides information that directly leads to the whereabouts of Carly …$10,000 cash…..if you have seen Carly or have any information about her please contact us immediately on 0487357823 or 0422392667,” said a Facebook post containing Newson’s mobile number on October 2. ( same day he travelled to the central coast for sex )
- Late on 29/9/14 a number of searches were made from Sayle's laptop looking for instructions on how to delete a facebook account
- Carly's facebook was deleted at 11:52pm 29/9 /14 )
- Sayle edited photo's ...........that was used for the missing persons posters, (that Sayle took driving up to Muswellbrook ) , that was edited before he knew Carly was "missing" ............between 5.17pm and 5.23pm that day, before Ms McBride had been discovered "missing", one of those photographs was rotated into a portrait shape and edited to remove Mr Newson's tattooed arm. But when he spoke to police he said it wasn't until 6pm, when he drove back to Ms McBride's ex-partner's home, that he first discovered she had disappeared.
- He then allegedly used the picture to create a Facebook page titled “Help Find Carly McBride” on October 1, having only reported her missing to police late on September 30. “It is alleged that the editing of these photographs were preparatory steps made by Newson in laying a false trail in the “staged” search for the deceased,” the police allegations state.
- The public displays of grief and torment, the extensive appeals for information and the social media campaign juxtaposed with claims he had moved on to other women almost immediately.
- Launched a full-scale search for Ms McBride; contacted her family and the police, knocked on doors along the path she would have taken to McDonald's, searched businesses, canvassed for CCTV, printed missing person's posters, created the 'Held Find Carly McBride' Facebook page, spoke with the media and announced a $10,000 reward. At one point Mr Newson said he hoped to gain further publicity by making a joint appeal with the family of missing boy William Tyrell. Police labelled it a "gross and immediate public overreaction" by Mr Newson
- “This pattern of behaviour extended over days, weeks and months following the deceased’s alleged death demonstrated the public grief displayed by Newson was also a lie.”
- Try's to interject himself into the police investigation & deflect suspicion onto others, which included two of his associates breaking into a rival's house to search for evidence.
- Attempts to find out locations of police & SES searches ( he actually went to SES HQ's asking about searches ) than claiming he couldn't stay to help search
- Stated to police officer early on that "you're looking for a dead body".
- Knew information about the crime scene that only the killer would know. Mr Carr said that Mr Newson was recorded in a telephone conversation describing a part of the real crime scene, at a time when that location was still hidden from the public.
- 28/9/14 argued about Carly's contact with other men on facebook.
- Detectives say that at about 5pm on September 30, 2014, Mr Newson told someone that Ms McBride was missing
- But when he spoke to police he said it wasn't until 6pm, when he drove back to Ms McBride's ex-partner's home, that he first discovered she had disappeared.
- Carly's debit card was used @ Scone McDonalds and each bought a soft drink using McBride’s debit card at 4.38pm 30/9/14.
- Newson courted the media for the next year as Ms McBride’s parents worked with police in appealing for information about their daughter’s whereabouts.
- Newson became aggressive and violent when drug affected and had been taking ice for a couple of days before he killed Ms McBride.
- Mr Carr told the jury there would be evidence detailing Newson's jealousy and possessiveness when he was in a relationship and how he had a "controlling attitude".
- Mr Carr said he had a state of mind of “jealousy, possessiveness and controlling attitude towards partners”.
- Newson told police he thought Carly was dead and "God had made this decision".
- Mr Carr said police later found a map at Newson's home where circles had been marked around Scone and Muswellbrook as well as the locations of point-to-point cameras between the two towns.
- The location where Ms McBride's remains were found was inside one of the circled areas.
- Mr Carr said that when police searched Mr Newson’s mobile phone, they discovered he had deleted Google location services between September 18 and October 2, 2014
And all the while he professed his love and devotion to Ms McBride. He was the distraught boyfriend who would do anything to have his girlfriend return safe and sound.
There was no blood found in his vehicle, no known witnesses to the crime, no CCTV, no DNA and police don't know where the alleged murder occurred.
But they say all signs point to the "concerned" partner who first raised the alarm.
