Like a lot of us, I have been going over the timeline of the disappearance up until the police arrive at 11.06am, over and over in my head. By the time that search was called, that crime scene must have been have been obliterated. Can't help thinking that for an opportunistic abduction, the perp has had an incredible amount of good luck on their side. In the spur of the moment people always make mistakes and can't cover for things they didn't take into account when being impulsive. Also if it was that impulsive I can't help but think of a younger person as taking such a risk. If it was planned by the POI, it is still too much risk,as he was expected and at some stage a spotlight would surely be shone on him. It does not make sense to me that the POI acted impulsively at a job he attended, abducted and disposed of a child and had an alibi for the next couple of hours that the police have not been able to break with anything concrete in 8 months. It is also high risk to be laying in wait for the opportunity to abduct a child. The risk of being seen and identified is huge unless you are supposed to be in that environment, like a neighbour or closer. I don't mean to offend anyone and BS may well be found guilty of the charges against him but the only thing that makes sense to me in this case is that whoever is responsible for WT's disappearance is closer to home.
A major risk for criminal behaviour is impulse control and poor risk assessment, it's not all cool calculated rational decision making. I also think there is a fine line between planning an abduction and fantasising about an abduction, and one can have no conscious commitment to doing it but have rehearsed it in their mind many times.
Have you ever been on a diet and ruminated over having a little cheat? One day you drive by McDonalds on the way home and think mmm, I'd love a sundae, but your resolve is strong. A week later you have a **** day at work, and you think about stopping for the sundae, but don't. You've promised your mate, and you are dieting together, you don't want to let them down. But every day you drive past Maccas and many days think about having that sundae. You think about how you can go on an extra walk to compensate. Skip lunch. How you can throw the tub in the neighbour's bin. Oh, today when you kissed them hello they noticed you had fresh coffee breath, better remember to fix that if you ever have that sundae. One day you see you have $3 in the console, the perfect amount for a sundae. You pull in but your mate rings, so you pull out and keep driving. You battle temptation watching a work mate eat sundaes. The adverts on tv. You don't do it. But one day you are starving because you worked through lunch, you have cash, your mate isn't home and they've left some of their diet sugar-free breath mints in the car. Before you know it you are scoffing that sundae and putting your post sundae "plan" into action. You'd thought about it and talked yourself out of it dozens of times but eventually opportunity overwhelms your self will. You have post sundae plans to fall back on from all the times you've not done it. Are they perfect plans? Probably not, there's lots of ways to get caught out, but it's done now.
