Australia - Frances Crawford 49, found dead after suspicious lawn mower accident in Queensland.

I like it that the QLDPOL ladies, and they look like the kind of no nonsense ladies that men who like being flogged have fantasies about , were sent out to bring him in... .

Pillow and crumpled sheet on that couch. Maybe it was an early morning arrest - to catch him unaware - and he was sleeping on the couch.

Close up of the clock shows it to be about 6am…

Men who would rather cheat, lie, manipulate and murder rather than get a divorce make me beyond angry.

Weak as can be.

Fingers crossed this investigation is top notch, sounds like it already is and this man, if proven guilty of murder will end up exactly where he should

IMO

Makes me wonder, since she was a local in Toowoomba, if the property is hers, or if the land belonged to her family. If they have been married for a long time, it is very likely, because 20 years ago, from my viewpoint, life in Australia was quite affordable, but today, not so much. So what was a small inland city has suddenly become an attractive destination, and an expensive one, too. I think this might be the whole story in a nutshell, sadly. If he had a girl in every port, that doesn’t speak “a huge, unexpected, secret love.” It means “a man prone to affairs on the budget.” Greed. JMO.

I wonder if that was where he usually slept, alone on a couch.

If that is the property where Frances died, maybe the bedroom has bad memories for him.
Perhaps that's where IT happened

I hope they go over that house with everything they have.

Did anyone keep any screen shots from the Airbnb ?

 

[Charlot123]

In spite of being so good-looking and multi-talented (are you listening mate?) he is lacking a certain something - oops, where do I start? Fidelity, kindness, morals, the ability to keep a woman safe, etc, etc. A very ugly inside.

Honestly? I think his attic is sparsely furnished, tbh. RAAF has pulled his photos off the websites from the get go, indicating that they were washing hands off the oncoming scandal. Predictably, they did not enjoy the worldwide publicity. What should one do under the circumstances? Keep quiet. What did RC do? Happily made the Airbnb listing for the house that’s the very scene of a suspicious death with an ad that looked like a page from a dating site.

You're right, that's exactly what it sounded like.
He was not only advertising the property, but making it into a personals ad about himself.

Some of Frances’ friends on social media have changed their profile picture to the Australian Femicide Watch - She Matters - Frances Crawford

“This afternoon Detective Superintendent George Marchesini said the arrest highlighted "dedication and expertise" of officers who had worked "tirelessly and relentlessly" on the case.”

I don't think QLDPOL believed his ridiculous story for one nanosecond.. I reckon they nodded and smiled and offered their condolences and got in their cars and sped back to base at high speed and began an in depth, no holds barred , gold plated investigation of SQ.L. Crawford that very morning.

They let him spin around being AirbNb guy, Mr . Smoothie Sleazo all over the place, and watched his every move.
