Oh agree. I especially think if they were drug affected they may have thought they had their ducks in a row.

Imho I don't think it was supposed to happen this way at all. Why not just push the car into water and let it submerge with ST and all the evidence like that guy who had just resurfaced after 13 years..

That article states that a man went missing in Wivenhoe dam and his body was found two days later. It also says no suspicious circumstances (meaning either natural causes or suicide).

I don't really understand what that's got to do with Sam's case? Or where the 'thirteen years' came from?

Unless I'm missing something....?? :thinking:

Quite different circumstances in this case, imo, LE thoroughly searched deep water bend and surrounds very early on and have not revealed if anything was found. Moo. Rumour has it that there is a hidden (in a log...Or partially concealed) camera at dwb that LE have used for years to detect "burn outs...Skids" amongst other things possibly.

Looking up info about Chrysler 300's in MSM and came across this article about the most stolen types of cars in LA. The Chrysler 300 comes in at #6 on the list (and the Hemi version at #10). Here are their comments about that type of car. Perhaps a bit fitting, considering the possibilities in Sam's murder??


Number 6 on the list is the Chrysler 300. And heck, the Hemi version rounds out number 10. That's the square pimp ride with oversize wheels from Chrysler.

If you drive one you're either a criminal, a cholo, or one of those retarded white guys with the shaved head, white t-shirt and ese shades who wants to look like a cholo.

The very sight of a Chrysler 300 on dubs just screams, "Pull me over, I have coke in the trunk."

What we don't understand is why anyone would steal one: You know the owner is going to hunt you and mow you down like Scarface on a violence bender.

So, I just checked with a mod to see if I could post this first link. It is an excerpt on a forum about the quantity of police involved in different types of police investigations. The opinion of someone in the know.

Obviously the quantity of police can increase, as the severity of the crime increases. Still, it seems like a lot of police involved in Sam's "missing person's case". Seems more like the amount of police that would be involved in a murder case ... perhaps even in a high profile murder case, due to the amount of teams involved.

It appears to me that Sam's case was being handled as a Major Investigation, right from the get-go.

For low to mid range things, you will be a one man band - robberies, assaults, burglaries, medium level frauds etc. Also, that investigator will probably carry several ongoing investigations at any one time.

Larger enquiries require more staffing - a series of armed robberies across the county, rapes if they are stranger rapes, child abuse - these may have a small team, possibly only a couple of officers, sometimes a few more.

Move up to the next level - murders, manslaughters, rape series - Here we run these with MITs (Major Investigation Teams) which have a dedicated Detective Inspector, enquiry teams, interview teams, disclosure officer

https://www.quora.com/Do-multiple-p...a-case-or-does-a-single-person-investigate-it

Especially when you consider the likes of cases like Daniel O'Keeffe's case.

The mother of Daniel O’Keeffe, the Victorian man whose remains were discovered under his home five years after he went missing, has slammed police by saying “It was clear he wasn’t a priority for them.”

..... she believes that had the police place a higher priority on her son he would have been found much sooner ....

Hey Seek [emoji4]

Had a look at the crime map site and DWB seems to have a concentration of crime stats, and solved crimes in a particular area. Could lend to your theory above. So depending on where a camera 'could' be positioned if it does exist this could point to a location.
Notice the number of unsolved crimes........
Definitely a 'hot spot'.
So working on a possibility of a theory, a few possibilities - the journey to DWB could have been caught on other cameras that LE have not disclosed if they are hidden.
On my trip there I noticed a property with a well positioned camera. It would have definitely caught one or both cars IF they drove to the first car park section.

Makes me think that is why Sam's car was left there for so long, with the windows down. Maybe someone would steal it (as possum has said), or think something had happened to Sam at that location ... at the hands of himself or someone else ... if they left it there through the night.
But, no, the next morning it was still there. May be part of the reason why they got twitchy and moved the car down to NSW?

I noticed in the police presser, a reporter asked if there were any prints in the car. The Inspector answered no. Then the reporter asked if the car was wiped clean. And the Inspector said that there were no identifiable prints. (He seemed, to me, to be a bit evasive at this part.)

In the early hours of March 8, a patrol spotted Mr Thompson’s orange 2016 Ford Mustang, with licence plate SAMMO, parked at the Tinchi Tamba Wetlands at Deep Water Bend, north of Brisbane.

The car was unlocked and the driver’s window was down. The patrol checked the vehicle, but it would be another day *before Mr Thompson’s family told police he was missing.

Agree different circumstances but water would destroy everything. It would be easier to roll a car into water than to go to the lengths they did and still fail at trying to cover up a crime. Not necessarily leaving it at DWB but elsewhere. Just my thoughts ...

I also wonder if it has an electronic push start button like modern cars do.
Thus they could take the keys with them ,I dont know how much harder it would have been to hotwire.

That article is very amusing!! :floorlaugh: Remember someone else on the Qld LE FB page called it a car for 'plastic gangstas'......?

I was just thinking about AD and his Chrysler last night actually. I couldn't remember if we knew what year his model was? (I was trying to work out if it was expensive or just around the $20K mark like loads of them on the car sales sites online.)

 

[Horror]

Great posts. I thought the officer was evasive with a few questions about the car in the first press conference. I'll rewatch and see if it's worth pointing anything out.

Okay …. I am going to raise a couple of subjects again, because now I have some valuable links to support the theories.

Firstly, the amount of police immediately assigned to Sam’s case. A very large number, as most of us have agreed.
Another extremely comparable (imo) case where this has happened is the Jamie Gao case – I think PrimeSuspect may have mentioned this case in past threads, and upon review it seems VERY, VERY, VERY similar.


Led by the highly respected veteran Detective Inspector Russell Oxford, the entire resources of the squad were rallied. More than 50 detectives began the task of tracking Gao’s last movements ….

A senior detective said: “The clock was ticking because we thought we had this kid tied up somewhere and we had to find him.”

And secondly, about the Jamie Gao case again - as the other similarities are striking.

BBM
Murdered Sydney student Jamie Gao was reportedly in 'secret talks with police' in the weeks before he was killed.
The 20-year-old had allegedly been called to give evidence before the Australian Crime Commission, the country's peak intelligence-gathering agency.

When asked why Mr Gao was recently questioned by ACC investigators at its Sydney headquarters, the commission said it had 'nothing to add', The Daily Telegraph claims.

Federal police have publicly denied claims that Mr Gao, who is thought to have been caught up in a Hong Kong-based Asian organised crime group, was acting as an informant when he delivered $3 million of methamphetamine to former detectives Roger Rogerson and Glen McNamara.

Mr Gao had reportedly told his close friends about the hearing but the commission has denied these claims.

On Saturday, it was revealed federal police were watching over murdered student Jamie Gao for a staggering three years before his death.

For those who are not aware .... Jamie was a 20-year old Uni student, reportedly pulling excellent grades .... but got in way over his head in the money-making side of drugs.

“He was in over his head. He thought he would make a quick buck,” a law enforcement source said yesterday.

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/la...-across-the-city/story-fni0fee2-1226932497823

Jamie Gao, a 20-year-old student, was shot dead on May 20 as part of a botched drug deal.
