Too right hon.
Walk, run or even a swan dive off a bridge.

We might even see a vehicle on a flatbed tow truck soon.

knew you were on it! Whatever happens it won't be surprising! xx

Dig up the golf courses, start sealing off outlying fallow fields, begin isolating various areas of the city, and outlying districts, have road checks coming in and out of Ballarat, on the freeway and the backroads, bung up barriers across one lane each way in and out, have all the men between 12 and 80 do a DNA for the record,, do a house to house search with the army, and the airforce if necessary, and if needed haul in the navy.

I am up to here with Australian women being murdered. In the streets, on the roads, on running paths, in their own backyards, in their own bedrooms, in their kitchens, in their driveways, at work, it's a plague. I just hate it.

I wholeheartedly agree with you, Trooper. My big gripe is early release, early parole, recidivism. Pray tell how is it that the likes of Paul Denyer could have had parole last year, a flippin' serial killer. Adrian Bayly, already a serious sex offender, Cowan- the same. Life in prison doesn't mean life in prison here. The man who murdered my friend's son- 34 years, appealed to have it reduced, because he felt "too extreme. " BS! (Look up Jack Sadler, that man should have the key thrown out.)

I'm trying to read between the lines here, but I'm just getting that empty whoosh sound of wind going through my eardrums.

It was reported as Eureka Street…
But I have not seen a location on Eureka Street published …

Thank you

 

[they'll get you]

You might be more familiar with the Suzanne Morphew case.
I think same thing and outcome.

[TootsieFootsie]

Do you think bikie gang members or bad dude tow truckers? Could be.

Yeah, Nah!

 

[Liadan]

There are so many to compare to at this point! I just hope we are wrong!

 

[they'll get you]

Chief Commissioner Shane Patton revealed the case is now being treated as "suspicious" since they've not been able to locate any trace or find any leads.

Startling police admission in search for missing mum Samantha Murphy

The Victorian mum was last seen leaving her house on February 4 with authorities saying there's no trace of her.

THIS.
This tells me the cops have seen no proof Samantha got outside her gate.

​

Looking at the mobile ping data from this case - wow.
Thinking something similar will be what the cops are working with in the Buninyong area

No, could be anyone. Who knows?

I’s love to think Samantha is sitting in an Aspen ski resort sipping on a yummy Brandy Alexander but that’s not so.

This new Herald Sun article says that the investigators are continuing to conduct targeted searches of the area, according to the statement today from Commissioner Patton.

Patton said that they have committed significant resources to help Missing Persons because of the CCTV captured, and exploring where CCTV may be available.

Wonder if there will be an appeal for ‘do you know this car’ ???

I work with disadvantaged women and I too am horrified at how many women are victim to violence. I understand that we shouldn’t put too much stock in the husband did it theory but unfortunately I have heard way too many stories week in, week out about known males hurting their partners. I sincerely hope I am wrong.

 

[Liadan]

Now, so many days after being led to believe by police and LE all was Kosha and SM's absence is just an anomaly; we find out there is reason to believe it is a suspicious situation. Who would have thought?????? I mean do you not think the public could have helped with your investigations, what to you gain by holding your cards close to your chest? Wake up Law enforcement!

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Just because there have been cases where men murdered their wives or partners, it doesn't mean every case turns out like that.

I need proper evidence before I proclaim someone guilty or innocent, for that matter.

 

[SLouTh]

Do you think bikie gang members or bad dude tow truckers? Could be.

Yes I think it may be business related in some way …

THIS.

What if it happened in the Lane??
A hit, scoop, and run, or even an abduction / extortion attempt where SM fought back and it went wrong??

Soz Tootsie but - at this point it could be anyone known to the victim- we don't know. But hey considering the last person to see her and confirm her timeline was her hubby things can progress.... Also could be anyone...RIGHT?
