So after watching the Telstra ad that Papertrail posted I noticed the Telstra technician uniforms for the first time ever. Police have already linked the V1 series holden to atleast one of the crimes so we know it was in use to either abduct or dump.
For this scenario I am discussing abduction
If you were waiting for a taxi, you have had a few drinks and it is dark and a V1 series holden pulled up beside you with a guy wearing that uniform, is it not possible you could automatically think "taxi" and jump in? unless you seen the Telstra logo the uniform looks awfully similar to that of what I see a lot of taxi drivers wearing for example, a shirt and that style of blue jacket.
One step further you could use a fake magnetic taxi roof sign and boom instant abduction bait, even without the taxi sign I'm sure my description of the car and uniform would still be enough to fool some people given the circumstances of alcohol, night time and the fact you are expecting a taxi to show up, all forming "the perfect storm".
JR is seen waiting outside the hotel in the MM video, was this before or after she had called the taxi? if it was after and she was waiting and then the "pseudo taxi" pulls up across the road she gets up and walks over and jumps in thinking this is her taxi and is never seen alive again.
We know JR had ordered a taxi, I can't see her walking off too far considering from the video it appears the taxi rank is pretty close to the hotel, so for me this makes a blitz attack awfully risky within such close proximity to the hotel.
I've been a big supporter of blitz based from KK but in this scenario I find either the ruse of a taxi or charm and offer of a ride the most likely and least risky scenarios.
can anyone confirm if JR had already called a taxi prior to the MM video footage?
