There are a so many of things that we would all like to know but will have to wait for the trial.
One question that has to be established, IMHO, is placing the blue Nissan 4WD at the same location as Mr Hill and Ms Clay, at roughly the same time. It seems the police have two witnesses in addition to any technical data. We re-watched the
60 mins story. Inspector Stamper told 60 minutes that [my bold]:
15:36
Insp. Stamper:
Well we have a sighting of a dark blue four-wheel drive in this area at the time that Russell and Carol were camping here
Reporter: Really?
Insp. Stamper:
And also a sighting of a dark blue four-wheel drive at the toilet block just behind you over here as well.
15:48
Reporter: And is that the same car that was captured on cameras on the Great Alpine road?
Insp. Stamper: Quite potentially, yeah. Quite potentially. Yeah.
Reporter: So this same car is now being
sighted three times?
15:56
Insp Stamper: Yeah, well the description is all the same and it's all within the same time frame
Another is Mr Hill's movements in the weeks prior.
Police have established that Mr Hill was camping alone with his Landcruiser in the area of the King Billy and Bluff Track between 11-13 March. Although in the general area, it seems to be about 2 hrs by road from where he camped in Wonnangatta on the fateful Friday.
A third query is the route Mr Lynn took into the valley. I
posted screen-grabs from the 60 minutes story, that appeared to show data points relating to the blue Nissan.
I went back to see if I could get some ones that are closer in.
The first appears to show the route taken by the blue Nissan up to the Mt Hotham camera [blue dots]. One dot appears to indicate a point on the Cynthia track [RHS, grab 2] and possibly the burial site [blue dot, middle lower part; grab 2. It also appears to show the camp site and the gate where the vehicle was heard making the 30 point turn [red dots].
Visible on the second grab are blue dotes on the LHS. These appear to be on or near Lincola or Howitt Camp and possibly Zeka spur. And a lone dot down the bottom.
It is not clear if this chart has data points for the movement of the blue Nissan only or also includes the movement of Mr Hill and Ms Clay. However, if it indicates dtat points for the blue nissan, it would then suggest that vehicle entered the valley via the Zeka spur.
what is intriguing is that there is a big blue dot on the LHS. The significance of this is not clear.
