I listened to Charlie Bezzina on the Australian true Crime podcast, and he mentioned that in years gone passed people were far more likely to confess than they are now because people are better educated about their rights. He added that because there is no time limit on prosecuting a murder there is no rush. That's out of step with community expectations but given Borce lawyered up so quickly and Sarah isn't co-operating either, maybe cctv and pings proving Borce's early lie isn't quite enough for them to be reasonably sure of a conviction. I am going to guess the forensic evidence isn't that great - maybe the google search did result in someone being able to destroy evidence sufficiently. When the potential crime scenes are her home, her car and where she was left, and the suspect is her intimate partner, there may not be a lot of forensic evidence of use.
So, obviously many us feel that this latest push is mostly theatrics to apply pressure - he said outright they can identify the SLKs, you can't legitimately expect much of use from people driving in front of a car, and any decent lawyer is going to rightly so bring into question the credibility of an eye witness who comes forward 12 months later, as eyewitnesses are terrible in general. What do they need? Borce to offer more explanations? Sarah to crack?
It would be good if Karen had her own Dickies or Kerry-Anne like Allison Baden-Clay did. Apply the emotional pressure and get Borce and Sarah in the hot seat. Don't let them sit back silent. Aunt Patricia seems like she could make a good job of it, but she isn't local is she? Lorrin Whitehead went missing when her oldest daughter Amelia was 19.
Amelia has been tireless in the media for her mother. Sarah's silence speaks volumes.
