"I wonder what particular height Bayens considered the description 'tall' to mean ?
When Morey attempted to murder the ex Highgate streetworker on 12 December 2003 he was driving a white Holden Commodore VP series stationwagon (was the use of that model in the CIA doc deliberate to 'rattle the cage' as the police call it).
This attempt occurred near bushland in Maguire Road Helena Valley. At the time he picked up this woman in Highgate they had driven to two other of the woman's 'favoured' locations but he chose the Helena Valley location. He was nailed via DNA contained in a minute blood droplet located in the victim's hair. His excuse for the blood in her hair was that was that he'd actually picked her up hitchhiking in a far north Perth suburb (from memory near Whitfords) not far from his mother inlaws house located in Two Rocks; and he visited that residence on the night of the attempted murder (mother in law testified at trial). He had noticed the woman crying on the side of the road and he stopped to help her (sure). When he was consoling her (in his vehicle) she must have cut his hand with her fingernails and that is how his blood droplet got into her hair. He was convicted and currently serving sentence due for release in late 2015 / early 2016.
At the time of this attempted murder he was living with the same girlfriend that he was living with at the time Sarah McMahon disappeared. This girlfriend was called as a witness in the recent Coroners Hearing. She was the one that took control of his 'kit bag' after she had collected it from where witnesses said they had observed Sarah McMahon's deceased body. The girlfriend stated that she had handed the 'kit bag' over to a male acquaintance. The 'kit bag' contained pornographic material that detailed extreme violence, rope, tape etc. All detailed in the corners hearing report available on google. The girlfriend also laundered is clothes that he had worn on the night of the attempted murder in 2003.
A short time after Sarah McMahon's disappearance a very brief newspaper article written by a crime reporter (who subsequently became the editor of a leading West Australian newspaper [not Bret]) detailed that Morey had a connection to an art gallery / picture framing business and that he was an abattoir worker (not mentioned in the coroners hearing for some reason) which from memory (the art gallery) was linked to his girlfriend (detailed above). I do not know if she was an artist.
Morey is also believed to be involved in the disappearance / murder of Darrylyn Ugle on 25/3/2003, another Highgate streetworker. Her remains were found on a burnt tree stump at Farrell Grove picnic area near Mundaring Weir. Skull had been damaged and rope ligature used.
This girlfriend is blonde and quite tall; I would guesstimate just under 175 - 180cms.
Morey had previously been convicted (in WA) of 2 x armed robberies which had occurred in late 1989 (Midland / Guildford) and arrested a short time later; this occurred not longer after he returned from Qld. The trial was in 1992 and sentence handed down in very early 1993. He received 7 years. Do prison terms commence from date of arrest or date of offense ? I don't know when he was released but in any event he would have been out for the disappearance of Lisa Brown, another Highgate streetworker taken on 9 November 1998 (still missing). Just two years prior to Sarah McMahon's disappearance on 8 November 2000.
He had been imprisoned in Qld in 1988 (March to Nov) and escaped in November 1988 and was relocated in WA sent back to Qld; therefore he could not be involved in the Julie Cutler disappearance. On completion of sentence he headed straight to WA and changed his surname from Matusevich (his father's surname) to Morey (his mother's maiden surname). I don't know why he was sentenced in Qld. He had spent time in Pentridge as well and married a prison guard; they had 2 children.
He has been in the justice system since he was very very young; started out in South Australia as a juvenile offender.
That is why I asked the question about DNA in blood. I don't believe they would have taken his DNA at the time of arrest for 1989 offences. We know they have a droplet of his blood for 2003 arrest and conviction. They surely would have collected his full DNA for that offense. I believe (currently and for some time) DNA is collected from all prisoners.
I don't know Morey's physical height description; but his girlfriend is pretty tall but that doesn't tell us anything does it. Some men prefer tall women and some taller women prefer shorter men.
Could he be the suspect referred to in the CIA doc; the one with the loaded rifle under seat; could be if his release date / serving time was calculated from 1st armed robbery in 1989 (I'll get the date) ? Could he be the guy Bayens referred to; yep. Although I think the details about Bayens' guy is that his poi drove a sedan; perhaps that was his girlfriends vehicle and that is why boot was fully lined - easy cleanup no questions."
