Are we saying GL could be a SK?
They knew who this guy was when they released that photo. That release was purely to put pressure on him - I'm sure he was under full surveillance and they wanted to see if they can find more incriminating evidence based on his behaviour once the details of the blue Patrol was release. MOOThe family may not have seen the story, or paid attention to it. I didn't see it until I was reading this thread for the first time in months.

I'd be interested to review a list of suspicious disappearances / deaths in rural Victoria....Are we saying GL could be a SK?
WOWSomeone said they had contacts at Vicpol... Said they've been watching him for a while . Said police will be asking him not only where the bodies of the two are, but also the body of his accomplice...
Another thing that I was thinking is that the police have done this process of elimination with vehicles in the valley that night.
Presumably they have been doing the same process of elimination with mobile phones that used the accessible towers in that general area that night also.
(By 'used' I mean ping data from the towers.)
I wonder if they are (or will be) able to match a vehicle and a mobile phone number.
Being of that age, I agree! But people do weird things all the time. Very little has been released about the man arrested. On the information released so far, it is all very circumstantial: him having a vehicle like the one seen; repainting it; the missing trailer; being in the vicinity, and so on. There is the night time journey that he needs to explain and very likely the police have married cell phone data with CCTV.Opportunistic? Maybe! I still cant fathom somebody deliberately killing two elderly, defenseless people. Even if say killing Russell was an accident ie: he was knocked over and hit his head on a rock or something along those lines, then the perpetrator would then turn his attentions to Carol and kill her next. I'd have thought a decent person would have obviously freaked out and then sought medical assistance. The perpetrator could not possibly been of sound mind or perhaps just plain evil. And, surely he/they would realise that other campers were aware of who was in the area given that somebody drove past and was able to identify R & C camping and then the blue Patrol camped or just parked nearby. Truly a strange situation!
You have just said what has been bothering me. Was the man arrested there alone? He has been described as an experienced bushman and when arrested he was alone. Police have not said if they think he was in the valley alone.Basically never travel alone up there, because if you get into trouble you’re stuffed. Break something, need to be towed up a hill, out of a bog, or only made it halfway through a river crossing, tipped over, or worse end up over the side, you’re gonna need a mate. It happens and you can’t always rely on someone to come along and find you. Beside all that it’s more fun in groups anyway.
You have mentioned another thing that that puzzled me. The call to the Nissan Community. I'm sure we will hear in time why. But...It's not just social media.
They received information from Australia’s Nissan Patrol community following an appeal for information last week, police said on Sunday.
Detectives are calling for more information from anyone who may recognise the vehicle, particularly if the car is known to tow a trailer.
The vehicle was captured on roadside cameras driving on The Great Alpine Road and matched a description of a car witnesses saw parked near their campsite and heard leaving the area about midnight.
New clues in mystery of missing campers Russell Hill and Carol Clay
I saw a detailed map last year, but promptly lost the URL. Perhaps someone here has one?Is there any aerial view of the camp area, showing R & C’s camp area with the tent & car layout, and this ‘prime’ camp spot? To see how the person may have approached them, and from which direction.
I think the tent was the crime scene, hence trying to burn it to the ground. So wanting to see if a car could have run over the tent easily enough, or if the person approached on foot & attacked. If the Nissan had an attached annexe then that would have to have been packed away before driving the car, obviously. Are they a pain to pack up? Or fairly quick?
Also suggests they were on to him, ages ago, as a lot of folks here have been suggesting/conjecturing.They are saying now that GL was previously quizzed by police. Interesting.. seems more and more things are slowly coming out. Hopefully charges are coming soon.
Carol Clay, Russell Hill disappearance: Gregory Lynn’s neighbours, colleagues express shock (theage.com.au)
When Mr Hill and Ms Clay disappeared, I suspect the police would eventually solve it. This map was one reason: 1. there is a finite number of ways in to the area, and 2. you have to use a 4WD (well, you don't have to, but you run the risk of misadventure....), 3. mobile phone data retention, 4. cctv, 5. the need to buy fuel. Most folks i know with 4WD try to keep them reasonably full, especially if you are going off country, you mostly fill up just before you do and then when you come out. 6. witnesses, or rather a lot of people who saw something, heard something.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..

And a Check Captain for the last 14yrs, aren’t they above a regular Captain?
It does seem unlikely that he disposed of the bodies near Licola. [If indeed he is the perpetrator of Mr Hill and ms Clay's disappearance - i.e. he had no lent his vehicle to someone else]Just looking again, that’s 100% being loaded at Licola, on the south side of the bridge, just up the Tamboritha road. There’s no way he was checking on bodies, unless he took them home with him on the night, then took them later on up to Arbuckle to hide them. Seems unlikely.
