Found Deceased Australia - Russell Hill, 74, & Carol Clay, 72, Wonnangatta Valley, 20 Mar 2020 #4 *ARREST*

[Sher Lock]

I'm speechless

Me too. I was wondering if this case would ever be solved. Fingers crossed they've got the right person and Russell & Carol will be located very soon.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

I'd be gobsmacked if it's someone either of them knew, or connected to anyone they knew.

If this man is the one, then I think he would be a stranger to them and some kind of confrontation took place.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

My heart is really beating fast.

 

[Toodles5000]

Amazing!!

 

[PingTheRouter]

wow just saw the update

that last doco really spurred this along

i hope this is it now for the family

 

[TootsieFootsie]

I'm thinking now , that this man has been on their radar for awhile, and they just needed to get that last bit of info.

 

[Plugger1357]

Read maybe he was arrested up on the high plains ?

 

[PrimeSuspect]

Best news! I can hear your heartbeat, Tootsie.

It'd be amazing if the man still had the vehicle or the trailer, I'm guessing he has the trailer. jmo

 

[Detective Willy]

This is the type on news we all come back to Websleuths hoping to hear. This is MASSIVE news!!!

 

[Detective Willy]

Suspect is allegedly from Caroline Springs. Google mapped distance to Wonnangatta and there are 2 ways to go.

One way is 376km and the other way 377km. Flip a coin..

Suspect is allegedly from Caroline Springs. Google mapped distance to Wonnangatta and there are 2 ways to go.

i wonder if he has ties to the area or somehow grew up there

[TootsieFootsie]

I think they made a mistake in the heading that leads to this article.

Said arrested in high country, but upon clicking the link it said "arrested over high country disappearance"

Russell Hill, Carol Clay disappearance: Victoria Police arrest man over missing Wonnangatta Valley campers

Read maybe he was arrested up on the high plains ?

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Or maybe was just camping there.

i wonder if he has ties to the area or somehow grew up there

 

[they'll get you]

55yo man from Caroline Springs, was arrested yesterday arvo ...

No other details as yet.

Sorry article above beat me to details

*advertiser censored*!
I wonder if he was known.

 

[PingTheRouter]

Or maybe was just camping there.

well police did say he would have had to know the area very well and had intimate knowledge of the surrounding area

take that with whatever salt needed i guess

 

[Catmommy]

I sooo wanted a happyeverafter ending for Carol and Russell. I guess recovery of their remains and justice for their murders will be as happy as it gets. And I'll take that for lack of better.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

I posted above that I think it was a stranger, but I guess anything is possible.

My top "theory" is a stranger" though.

 

[Sher Lock]

"7NEWS can reveal it was a “dramatic campsite arrest,” but understand it was not forceful and the man is believed to be cooperating with police."

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Oh I wonder, if LE have already found Russell and Carol

Maybe the person they arrested was caught going back to check on the remains

Perhaps he was rattled by all the press releases lately.
