Has anyone compiled a list of confirmed missing people around the area yet?

Another local missing person post updated today.

POLICE SEARCH BUSH LAND IN BYRON FOR A WOMAN REPORTED MISSING IN JANUARY

Police are searching bush land and makeshift campsites along the Byron coastline today for a woman reported missing in January.

42 year Thea Liddle was last seen in Mooball, on the Tweed, in October last year, but was reported missing by her family to the Queensland Police in January.

Police say she lived a nomadic life but would always stay in contact with her family.

Detectives have established Strike Force Holby to investigate the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.

At the time of her disappearance, Thea was staying at a property on Tweed Valley Way, at Mooball, with a man, then-aged 46.

She is known to frequent several Far North Coast locations, including Mooball, Nimbin and Byron Bay.

Police and her family hold grave concerns for her safety as there has been no activity from her bank accounts or mobile phone since early November 2019.

As part of their investigations, detectives searched a property at Mooball in May.

Looks like the location of the “fake graves” as mentioned in podcast?
Update:
Was just in town, the Road down to tallows car park is closed under police guard.

Thea was last seen in a totally different location right?

Theo and Thea... what a coincidence. I hope one of the two families gets answers.

I am very sure this area (pictured below, on Daily Mail) had been searched by volunteers last year. And unlikely to miss an entire skeleton.

almost convinced with the events going on up in this region there is a serial killer lurking about which is very very unsettling because we've had serial killers before go unnoticed and only discovered many years later

even our top forensic psychologists think so because to have these people go missing in these circumstances so close together, those odds are one in a million

i hope these bones can shed some light onto either case and possibly start unraveling if this is indeed random events or actually someone is lurking about and killing people in northern NSW

Very interesting to see them so conviced that it isn’t Theo. They don’t know if it’s male or female at this point.
Maybe the body is way smaller than we are thinking at the moment?

unless it’s planted after the first search

 

[PingTheRouter]

unless it’s planted after the first search

the easiest answer would be the person died after they searched that area meaning they could be fairly new or maybe they are historical who knows

Absolutely, but if there is a serial killer active...

 

[ChatteringBirds]

If police say it's highly unlikely to be him ("citing evidence previously submitted to the coroner regarding the Belgian teenager...")
could it be there is a very significant difference in the victim's height compared to Theo's or that preliminary dental record comparisons indicate two different people? Pure speculations.

How did the police end up searching Cozy Corner when Thea was missing and last seen in Mooball?

Apparently she is known to be transient. Possibly the camps were thought to be an option for where she could have been staying?

But the Direct move from Mooball to Tallows is interesting as there are camps at Brunz and Belongil that dont seem to have been searched by police.
They must have had some information.

Human remains confirmed as missing NSW woman Thea Liddle

Hey, I'm pretty sure I've never posted here- only on Toyah Cordingley and Nicole Cartwright threads - but I followed this thread for a few weeks months ago and have checked in today after seeing a news article about Thea Liddle.

I thought this link might be of interest and welcome information. Forgive me if it's "old news", I came across it during a recent (unrelated) Google search on 'The Tower' Tarot card.

I don't know if this is relevant, or how far bones can travel in the tide /ocean????
