What do you mean? This was the highest priority case of the last 20 years and at the time had enormous publicity and resources thrown behind it. This was as big a case as you will ever get. Do you honestly think after having this evidence for a whole 19 years that its not inconceivable to think the Police were nothing but totally incompetent not to investigate this more thoroughly. They put so much money and resources into this they could have easily had a few officers working on this avenue for a moderate period of time (6 Months should be more than enough time). All you need to do is identify a time line (I agree the whole 8 hrs is not 100% necessary) however if they didn't need 8 hrs of footage then why record for the FULL 8 HRS, why not just record for 4 hrs if the 8 hr timeline is not significant. Again you are not making complete sense here when determining 4 hrs being adequate, The police obviously had some reason to record for 8 hrs! and then once you have agreed on the time line to take the registrations then take a record of each number, run each number through the database, identify vehicle owner, go to each owner ask why they were in Claremont and whether they were driving, if they were seek evidence, eg. a receipt, or a credit card statement, a bank statement witness etc etc. If they arent the vehicle owner who was driving then follow up and investigate who was driving that night, more than likely the owner would know who drove their car/ or had access, then investigate and query that driver. Single out any suspicious characters and investigate further. Something to do with that individual might come up down the track and woalla, you have a critical lead and POI/suspect.
This is basic police work, especially when you have evidence that has sat for 19 years, there is not much to go on so why just leave vital critical evidence and not follow it through with the utmost degree.
The media are reporting this as incompetence, that is what it is, this and the Fibers which lead directly to identifying the car, and in this case, another lead that would most definitely identify the car if it indead did drive down Bay View Tce that night.
The Police have really stuffed up, or are hiding something and its becoming more and more obvious.
This video is taken from the NIGHT of Ciara's disappearance, and not from the nights surrounding the abduction night, literally the actual night, it deserved the utmost attention. Its unfathomable to think what has happened has happened especially given the high profile nature of the case
Can you post your evidence that Lance was identified on the night please? or are you spreading misinformation again? please dont derail the thread with your opinion presented as fact.
I agree with Bart, its great another Journalist is reporting on this case, hopefully more do. I think the media are realising this case wasnt the professionally run case its been put forward as by WAPOL, its been an incompetent corrupt shambles from the get go with no focus and a corrupt idiot at the helm steering the wheel (David Caporn). I hope they work out why such critical leads have not been followed.
