Pardon a potentially silly question, but isn't the purpose of coronial inquest to primarily to identify whether someone missing is likely alive (or not), and secondly to identify if any lessons can be learned in terms of best practice approach. I am following the inquest with these in mind and probably not expecting much more at this stage. It is also, of course, an opportunity to identify options / targets for continuing investigation as it has been stated many times - adding layers / insights for the LE to pursue. I would argue, with my admitted limited knowledge of course, that the 'mess/confusion/complexity' of info being publicly released via the inquest may be that way for strategic reasons. IMO
May I also ask if anyone saw anything resulting from the Herons Creek timber mill search / excavation that was reported last week in MSM?
BBM I agree.
Mr O'Brien described the investigation as "frustrating and damaging" for his client.
"He and the rest of the community are entitled to know whether it could have been done better," he said.
But Deputy state coroner Harriet Grahame rejected the application and said her "primary focus and greatest hope" was to find out what happened to three-year-old William.
"It is not the time for trying to discover, on a piecemeal basis, if the investigation went down a wrong track," she said.
"If there is a need to look at the adequacy of the investigation, it is not now."
