Hopefully WAPOL have tracked down his vehicles. In 1986 when BRE initially started work with Telecom (Telstra) he probably wasn’t entitled to a work vehicle. At some stage he would have been promoted, and quite possibly a vehicle came with that position.
Perhaps during 1986 to 1988 he may have been driving a Toyota or Gemini.
Sometimes government employees purchase ex-government vehicles from the auction. They’re probably only two-years old and low-mileage.
These are only my thoughts and opinions.
Government vehicles were auctioned off usually at 40000 km, or 2 years of age. Occasionally there was a policy for work vehicles at 100000, say trucks etc.
This is part of the reason we came to the conclusion that it was a Telstra worker. Before the accused was arrested.
There was a van a Karrakatta, which we associated with an electrical tech van, and a Commodore which was a model of car under a year old. The Commodore might not have been 9 months old. Combine that with the speculation of telephone cable by The Community Post was used to tie both the Karrakatta vicitm and Ciara.
Presumption was it be a Telstra stationwagon as the car was a new release and the model less than a year old.
At 9 months old as a new model, the car may have done 40000km as a Telecom vehicle with the option of purchase.
Otherwise, based on the fibres, someone was picking up people in a Telecom car at 9 months old, if that depending on purchase date.
Maybe in 1988 someone might have been driving a girlfriends vehicle of an extra marital affair? Or, he gave it to her after he owned it?
If the vehicle started production in say mid
1995? *Not sure on this but deffo 1995. By the time the car is produced in 1995 hits the sales yard, and on the road through the supply chain. Then by January
1996, VS Commodore would not be a year old.
VS Commodore not even 12 months old, maybe only 6 months old as a model of vehicle, let alone its age. Was it a company vehicle?

The Holden Commodore (VS) is an executive car which was produced by the Australian manufacturer Holden from 1995 to late 2000
Police need to find all the old cars, especially the 1988 Hilux 4WD.
