Just throwing out another possibility, MOO.
My thought is that she sent the email herself and left the school pretty soon after that. I don't know how or where she was attacked but at this stage I believe it was at his house. I don't know how he lured her there. I also think he raped her. Today my thoughts are that he kept her at his house for a short time to figure out what to do, took a quick trip to dispose of the iPad, then came back to his house and took her to the national park. To do this he parked his ute in his garage and loaded her body in there, which is why there are so many yellow markers between his back door and the garage.
That would fit in with the 11am-7.20pm timeline, right?
12pm- ?not sure what time: attack, murder
3-4pm: dispose of iPad
4-5.30pm (being generous, it was only 70km): drive to national park
5.30-7.20: do whatever evil he did there.
after that: go home and clean up, dump her car, wash all of his clothes.
I might change my mind again by tomorrow.
This may be an "out there" idea, but what if this wasn't a deliberate act, and some accident has occurred. Something that came to mind was possibly hitting her with his car around the school car park, and freaking out over what he'd done and putting her in his ute to cover it up.
Just a thought.
Have I missed where the police are alleging that he raped her? I didn't think that'd been mentioned?

Respectfully snipped by me for brevity.
I think that the burning would aim to destroy potential evidence of the perpetrator such as his DNA, fibres, hair etc.
Honestly, I think that random "stranger" murders have been happening as far back as humans have existed. Certainly they've been happening throughout recent memory. It's not a new phenomenon and I don't think it's going to stop, ever.If you recognise any of these names, you will probably be among the people here saying "this is horrifying, why is this happening?". It doesn't matter how often it happens, it matters that it happens. Random women are not attacking men in this same way. Attitudes need to change.
You can't have discussion about violence against women (the reason for this thread) outside of the context of GBV. Yes domestic violence is the largest part of that - but while it was not the case here, it is part of the perspective.

long drive , Froglady!.. I reckon that's WHY he took the pic.. he knew he wouldn't be able to set aside a couple of hours drive in the foreseeable future.. and you know.. it would only be ashes ( he hopes ) by his next visit.....I wonder if maybe he went back to look at the body later and took the photo :/ murderers are known to go back to the area after the fact
