I would like to write today about another thing that bothers me in this judgment. Majority of witnesses really cooperated with the investigation, even after 18 years. Some of them were even exceptional witnesses if we take into account that passage of time. However, we have four witnesses that really casted dark shadow on themselves, and it's hard to understand exactly why they testified in the way they did. Let's start with witness who destroyed his credibility just because he suddenly changed his testimony on trial. His name is Ian McCooke, at that time he was the owner of Badgingarra Roadhouse. That witness said that Wark arrived early in the morning, around 7:00, refuelled his motorbike, paid 14,40 dollars and that's it. He denied that Wark could have arrived around lunch. Well, we have evidence that he was there after 13:30 with his motorbike. His wife admits that, another witness Mr. Skelley saw Wark and talked with him around that time. Why Mr. McCooke changed his opinion, answer on that question only he knows.
Then we have Mr. Paul Springer. He was then in relationship with Ms. Catherine Edwards. Both were friends of Wark, they shared passion towards motorbikes. They've spent two days on Wark's property before they decided to go back to Perth, early in the morning on that Thursday. Also, we again have witness which testimony fades in comparison with his former partner Ms Edwards.
And even judge wrote down: "Mr Springer had a poorer recollection and his demeanour bordered on the flippant".
On almost every question she had better detailed answer, for reasons known only to Mr. Springer.
I'd like to point out that these two witnesses don't have something to hide, their statements are just so irrelevant when compared with their (former) partners that it makes their credibility look even worse.
Next one is Bradley Hammond and now things are becoming interesting if you ask me. During October of 1998, Hayley Dodd was with her younger sister Raenne on Seldom Seen farm, that same farm that she was trying to reach when she went missing. Reason why they were there? Owner of that farm was Keith Hammond who is now deceased, his son Bradley was also living there and his granddaughter Kristal was friend of Hayley's younger sister. Apparently Hayley enjoyed her time on farm, so much so that she talked to many of her friends about Bradley Hammond. Even Bradley's father Keith testified how Bradley had at least two telephone conversations with Hayley. It won't be unreasonable to assume that one of the reasons why Hayley wanted to go on farm again is to see Bradley Hammond again.
Well, problem is that Bradley denied any kind of friendship, it appears as though he's trying for some reason to minimize any kind of talk about Hayley. However he has alibi, on that day he left his car on Wark's property and together with convicted pedophile John McConnell he was picked up by their employer Mr. Terry Jones and trio was mulesing sheeps on farm all day long.
Police obviously doesn't have evidence that can make Mr. Hammond even more suspicious, but I still can't overlook him. Maybe he helped Wark after murder. Why is it so hard for him to admit that Hayley liked him, maybe he's hiding a terrible secret?
I will write about most suspicious witness in my next post. That witness doesn't have alibi for that day, and we are only forced to believe in his words that he didn't see her on that day and that he's not responsible for her disapperance.
