Quote from: they'll get you...
Fig Tree, I've only found out about this twist today.
there's two differing amounts $1300 or $1500 to buy 5 bags of cocaine. Obviously the other workmates pitched in to buy and Gary knew Pambos from previous occasions so was elected to do the deal.
My problem here is at what point did his 'workmates' tell the police about the money, the dealer and where Gary was going.
I hope the bosses weren't involved in this drug deal!
Because it was a work event and *IF* Gary who was only 23 was elected to go then I'm sure there could be room for a legal suit happening.
In the print paper in the sms conversations Pambos quotes Gary "$1550 for 5 bags"
There is no mention of $1300 from Pambos.
Surely you don't turn up to your dealer being $250.00 short of the mark.
I don't get the time line either - especially related to the calls from colleagues to Gary - when Gary saying he was lost. Why were they calling Gary so quickly after he left?
The msm article stated that 'the CCTV captured a work colleague running after Gary soon after he left the Hotel, then the colleague returned.
What was that about?
Quote from: sleepinoz -
I find it hard to believe Gary left the Hotel no Jacket Mid July in the Blue Mountains, however drunk he was it was COLD, to go to Penrith to get drugs. IMO Pambos was coming to him. I don't believe his statements.
I also believe his work mate knew full well what was happening.
Pambos texted Gary at 23.30 (11:30pm) to say he would be at Penrith Station - ETA 60 min
Gary replied at 23.31 (11:31pm) - Í'm on my way
But Gary didn't leave the Hotel until 11:53pm (almost half an hour later)
Pambos' next sms at 23:59 (11:59pm) said Penrith Station ETA 35Min.
By my reckoning it takes an hour minimum to get to Penrith from Leura (driving) and an hour to return - plus meetup and deal time. Thats at least 2 and a half hours before Gary would have been expected to return to the Hotel with the drugs if he had been driving. Was he thinking he would hitch to Penrith? What was the plan for Gary to get to Penrith from the Hotel in 35 minutes - he was bound to miss Pambos by half an hour at least when he left the Hotel? I doesnt add up really to me.
How close did Gary think Penrith was to Leura? Its miles away!
Yes - there seems to be discrepancies here that don't add up for me either.
I saw today in the newspaper the online article. There is a running commentary on the SMS calls made between Pambos and Gary - I will write these in order when I get some time tonight - (if someone doesn't put them up beforehand) - but I recall early in the investigation here on WS that mentioned that there was a phone call from reception for Gary (or Gary made a call from reception desk) before he left - what was that call about? Was that to/from Pambos?

"Hey man. I'm in leura. Keen to pay whatever. Any chance for a delivery? Will pay BIG," said a text message sent at 11.15pm.
It was agreed the pair would meet at Penrith train station to make the exchange. This was a 45 minute drive from where Mr Tweddle was staying.
When Pambos arrived he parked in the station car park and sent Mr Tweddle three texts.
He waited 15 minutes but drove back to Sydney after failing to get a response.
Mr Tweddle sent his last text to Pambos at 11.50 and three minutes later he was captured on CCTV footage running out of Fairmont.
I always assumed that Gary ran out of the Hotel to meet up with Pambos somewhere near the Hotel - that would be 45 minutes from the time of organizing the deal call to the last call between them - 45 mins+ - enough time for Pambos to get to Leura driving.
Was Pambos seen by CCTV at Penrith Station?
After Gary ran from the Hotel... on CCTV
An Oracle work colleague was seen running after him but he returned seconds later.
Concerned friends called his phone at 12.02am and Mr Tweddle picked up and told them he was lost.
Where was Gary headed to? The Highway - the Train Station?
Why were his friends concerned about Gary 12 minutes after he left to go to Penrith?
An iPhone found 70 metres further down the cliff had no battery but showed Mr Tweddle had been using a compass and flashlight app at the time he fell.
I would be really interested to know how the compass and 'torch' app directed Gary over a cliff at Sublime Point when he was on his way to Penrith from Leura.
It would be interesting to see those Court Documents. Hmmmm
