Apologies if this is now redundant but I'll post it anyway and then go back to Thread 4 and try and catch up.
Mr Lynn's neighbour noticed the car had been re-painted. While he said he couldn't tell "off-hand" exactly when it changed, he believes it could be "well over 12 months ago". That means it could have been 2018, not 2019.

7 minute video of the drive from Wonnangatta to Dargo. The guy has a change of plan at 4:40 and instead of taking the Cynthea Range Track to Dargo, he decides to go via the Eaglevale Track. Interestingly, at 5:00 he sees a blue 4WD. Blue 4WDs may be extremely popular for all I know, but I nearly fell off my chair when I saw it.

Fresh insights into man arrested over missing Victoria campers
Ah yes, how could I forget Ivan Milat? Although he wasn't active recently. I'll do some googling if I get time. ETA Thanks also to Emirates & Barbie - yes, the Claremont SK as well - why can I never remember his name?Possibly Milat.
You may wish to Google, "are there still Serial Killers?" or similar key words.
I did so a few weeks ago and came across scholarly articles on the relationship between the increase in mass shootings and decline in Serial Killers.
Very interesting.
CCTV and data collection are two of the reasons cited for Serial killings dying off (excuse the pun) as it simply isn't as easy to get away with it any more.
I've yet to thoroughly delve into the subject @Kemug but if you do, let us know something interesting![]()
The google streetview shows it was white in September 2016, Blue in July 2019 and Beige in June 2021. It was registered as White according to a channel 9 report.Apologies if this is now redundant but I'll post it anyway and then go back to Thread 4 and try and catch up.

Fresh insights into man arrested over missing Victoria campers
I find that Wonnangatta and Diamond Creek are about 100 miles apart, but the road journey is about 5 hours. I'm thinking of missing person John Forster.
From those photos, I have a hard time determining whether those other trees just have dark bark or whether they're burned.Actually I reckon he scouted around at the site for those charred logs, you can see in the background in those pics that there’s quite a few blackened trees around, so he wouldn’t have had to look too far to find them.
Here is a list of "serial killers" in Australia, unironically published in, of all places, the women's magazine, New Idea (which, given its title and the subject matter is a somewhat unfortunate association):I would think it would be Claremont serial killer whose crimes were after Milat.

The Age newspaper has a long article about the accused and the investigation:

Just read the article. It is by noted crime journalist John Silvester, who in my opinion gave a somewhat less than impress radio interview. He does have contacts in the police, to be sure. But, this article contains so much conjecture and few attributed quotations. That is always a warning sign. He also attributes to Mr Lynn beliefs an states of mind, Mr Silvester has absolutely no way of knowing Mr Lynn felt, believed or knew: "A practical man, Lynn knew police..."The Age newspaper has a long article about the accused and the investigation:

Nah those logs weren’t burned there, if that’s what you mean. To me they look like they’ve been picked up either nearby or along the way, to use to throw over the burial site. I’m thinking he’s grabbed the logs to deter anything digging the bodies up while they were still fresh. Just doesn’t looks right coz nothing underneath is charred, you should have some sort of fire residue underneath. Something deliberate like that would stick out like dogs balls to a lot of people.

There is talk of a possible serial killer in the Byron Bay area.Ah yes, how could I forget Ivan Milat? Although he wasn't active recently. I'll do some googling if I get time. ETA Thanks also to Emirates & Barbie - yes, the Claremont SK as well - why can I never remember his name?![]()
I think it’s a good article and one of the best we have seen so far regarding this case. As the matter is before the courts things are implied without being said and if we read between the lines we get a very good idea of what took place in the 3 day interview. I think JS follows websleuths for sure as there are a number of sections in the article that look “word for word” what has been written on these pages.Just read the article. It is by noted crime journalist John Silvester, who in my opinion gave a somewhat less than impress radio interview. He does have contacts in the police, to be sure. But, this article contains so much conjecture and few attributed quotations. That is always a warning sign. He also attributes to Mr Lynn beliefs an states of mind, Mr Silvester has absolutely no way of knowing Mr Lynn felt, believed or knew: "A practical man, Lynn knew police..."
Nevertheless, it does contain some things of interest, if only to confirm speculation here.
1. The police are likely to have built a psychological profile of the accused. [Comment: This is hardly not surprising. It is standard practice. You can also bet the police trawled the accused's social media as well, interviewed family and friends and associates and reached back in time, too.]
2. The accused's alleged personality and prior family life and relations with others are described, but not in detail, but cohere with comments made here by Alicia__elizabeth
3. The Mt Hotham photograph of 4WD and trailer provided crucial and focused attention on the accused.
4. Police arrested the accused because they feared destruction of evidence and self-harm.
5. Mobile phone data is speculated by the journalist as being important. [Again: Doh! that was clear to anyone who watched the 60mins and Ch9 documentary. You could see the map of the data points in the background and they were posted on WS.]
6. police seemed to be confident they would solve the case. [My police friends said this from the very beginning.]
7. the article does give a list of people who have disappeared recently in the high country. However, one name on that list, Mr Conrad Whitlock, who disappeared in July, 2019, is anomalous. see stories here, here and here. The night before he went missing, the 72-year-old went to bed at 8:30pm and told his wife he probably would not see her in the morning because he was going to get some tests. This medical appointment was scheduled for about 10.00 in the morning he disappeared. He woke up about 3.00 am, reportedly from an alarm he set, and drove into the high country. Mr Whitlock left his white BMW on the side of Mount Buller Road along with his jacket, mobile phone and keys on the front seat. He has not been seen again and despite extensive searching of the area, no trace has been found. Police believe he may have been disoriented by strong pain medication he was taking and "fell off the mountain". In my view, Mr Whitlock should not be on this list.
One significant departure: the location of the gate that thwarted the exit from the valley.
8. On WS the belief has been the "locked gate" was the Myrtleford gate. That belief came from the press, for instance here and here, quoting the police. For instance, from the ABC link provided: ""Detectives have also been given information that a vehicle attempted to leave the valley late at night on the evening of Friday, March 20, but the Myrtleford gate was closed because of the bushfires, meaning that the driver had to make a complicated turn back in the direction from which they had come."" The Silvester article says the locked gate was on or near the Wonnangatta River Crossing. Silvester does not give the source of that information. I have looked at youtube videos, maps of the area and thanks to Brumby Jack, the road closures. I have not seen reference to a gate on the river at this location. Perhaps people on WS familiar with the area can provide an opinion. But at this juncture, I'm inclined to say the article is wrong on this point.
My overall rating for the Silvester article is a 2/10, but I am a hard marker.

Ah, just saw your post. Yes, excellent pickup. I noted that in my post @#54.Can someone confirm for me something? The visual in the article puts the locked gate in a funny spot, south-east of RH and CC. I thought it was in the other direction?
