12:21pm (AEST):
Witness Brian Mason has told the court he lives near Kholo Creek in Anstead, 700m from the bridge under which Allison's body was found on April 30.
Defence barrister Peter Davis said there was 700m of trees and other foliage between the bridge and Mr Mason's home.
Mr Mason said he and his wife contacted Crime Stoppers about two matters to do with the Baden-Clay case.
He said the first involved his wife spotting two cars on the side of Mt Crosby Rd at 4am - although the court was not told on which day.
The second was hearing dogs bark.
"Your dog, a German Shepherd, started barking around 12.30am," Mr Davis said.
Mr Mason agreed.
"When I managed to get my dog to stop barking, I could hear howling," Mr Mason said.

"I think to my left, straight ahead, and across the river too."

Watching that engagement with the accused would be very disturbing and my own first reaction would be How could he? How could they?
But I can also see that for the people who witnessed it, 'how could he' underlines his complete lack of empathy (as if anyone needed evidence of that); and 'how could they' underlines that under the surface of everything on the duck pond, there are little feet madly paddling away for justice in whatever form it might come about.
Glad we had the opportunity to really see his character. Business as usual.
Narcissists are usually the masters of charm. They use it masterfully, and manipulatively. They are often very successful people too, but beneath the amazing exterior is the lack of empathy- and its often only those very close that see this side.
To me, his behaviour today has all the hallmarks I expected to see.
The police are letting themselves down, IMO, by joining him in his charade.
Its all a con.
And her husband is sure it was a female. A shocked, alarmed yell rather than a scream, then it suddenly stopped.

From the courier mail
Mr Mason said he was standing in his backyard six weeks ago and realised he could hear the sound of cars travelling over the Kholo Creek bridge.
He called police because he thought it was possible after all that he could have heard someone talking 700m away by the bridge.

Just have to say, after weeks and weeks of rain and showers in Brisbane, how lovely it is to have the sun shining today. Omen?

Shocked, alarmed yell... hmmm, this could have been when it ended for her.
These are the kind of witnesses and evidence that we were hoping the police had up their sleeve.

12:32pm AEST: Witness Julie Tzvetkoff lives across from the Baden-Clay home and said she heard yelling coming from that direction between 8pm and 9pm on April 19.
"It was sharp, loud," she said.
"I couldn't tell if it was male or female."
Defence barrister Peter Davis said there were other homes, a church and a child care centre across from Ms Tzvetkoff's home.
"What I'm suggesting to you is that you heard a yell - the yell didn't necessarily come from the Baden-Clay property," he said.
"It could have come from any of those properties across the road."
Ms Tzetkoff said the noise came from directly opposite where the Baden-Clays lived - not to the right or the left.
"A very sharp hard yell that lasted about one and a half seconds," she said.
Ms Tzetkoff said her dog - which normally only barked at the sound of doors opening and closing - also barked that night.
"Car doors or other doors? What is this door fetish that your dog has?" Mr Davis asked.
Ms Tzetkoff said her dog often barked at the sound of car doors when visitors came over.

Ali - presumably all these witnesses would have been primed by Danny Boyle and his team as to what would be asked by the defence, wouldn't they? They would be prepared for the lines of questioning including the "trip-up" questions? Am I correct in assuming that they would have been prepared like that, or not? Given that they are, in fact, prosecution witnesses...?
