Yes, but so is everyone else in her life, so he's not being singled out like the DM headline would like us to believe.

DM is sometimes well informed, and bursting with willingness to say something but prohibited by LE

Not in Australia.

It is all about click bait here.

All publications are bursting with willingness to say what they know, but they don't all sensationalise like that.

Article in The Daily Mail online States that the husband is a person of interest

Sam Murphy's husband person of interest along with family and friends

Police are speaking to everyone in Samantha Murphy's life as part of the investigation into her disappearance, including family, friends and work colleagues - and believe it is unlikely that she is alive.

The Daily Mail appear to have had MM in their sights from early on in my opinion, they are also responsible for publishing the photo of MM laughing with the police officer. Maybe they know more than they can let on and are just pushing the absolute limits with what they can legally publish? Maybe they are just all about the clickbait?

At this stage he is not (a suspect). Everyone in relation to Samantha is a person of interest. In our investigation we are speaking to everyone that was in her life.'

Yep.

In Australia... clickbait... its easy to see through that garbage.
If he were to be arrested tomorrow it wouldn't change my stance.

I cannot remember who posted, that police know who is responsible. but Iagree.That is why they are asking for more dashcam footage.They want to absolutely verify evidence they have.

 

[Algorithm]

I think they have also gone thru hundreds of hours of cctv footage, once the knew the last location and time, to see which cars came in/came out damaged, from the area, probably from a petrol station or similar.

I think the net is closing rapidly.

Probably need 1 or 2 key pieces of evidence to lock it all in.

 

[Martinie]

But they did so much searching around Buninyong Golf Course in the early days, seems to me that wouldn't have been all based on a big mistake in interpreting the data.

JMO

I think that's because her phone pinged off that tower and now that they have had an in-depth look at her phone data, it might show a more precise location than just the closest tower.

DM is right: MM is laughing too much and too relaxed, although being the husband of a missing woman, who is expected to turn up deceased (if at all). Maybe, his laugh lasted for seconds only. But the public is interested in also seeing just that. So by DM a good selection to show us, IMO, "suspect" back or forth. In any case, he is the husband of a wife, who probably had a gruesome fate. MOO

I’ve always wondered, instead of getting location data for a mobile, could the tech gurus get the mobile numbers of the mobiles that roughly had the same location as SMs mobile. I guess like a reverse search ?

 

[TootsieFootsie]

I wonder if they've down some listening in on any phone numbers.

Yes, that is one of the reasons why they gather all of the ping data from the tower.

They look at the time of Sam's phone's pings, and all of the other mobiles that were pinging the same tower sector at that time.

I don't think it is a particularly easy task, due to the massive volume of mobiles that would include.
Though if they already know some people's mobile numbers they should be able to see if those numbers were pinging the same sector of the tower at the same time.

imo

Interesting that Police don't warn the public about the danger.

As for cctv/dash cams in the vicinity of Mt Clear after nearly 3 weeks -
I'm not sure for how long such recordings are kept.

Police say there were a 'number of movements' to and from the Murphy house on February 4, which they are investigating, A Current Affair reported.

Extra detectives including personnel from the sex crimes, counter-terror, fraud and armed robbery divisions in Melbourne, have been brought in to help with the case.

Attention has also turned to the smash repair business, Inland Motor Body Works, Ms Murphy and her husband Mick own.

Police have taken away a number of 'items of interest' from the repairs shop.

Was just thinking about how many cars you hear about being used for various nefarious purposes that are then set alight to destroy evidence! These are a regular enough occurrence that you hear reported on news atelast monthly (maybe not so frequently in Ballarat, but I’m not all over local Ballarat news).
So to me, fact that there hasn’t been anything about a car being found burnt out (Atleast that I’m aware of), means that if a vehicle was involved ( inferred from the call out for footage of vehicles with damage or property damage), then the person that has been involved probably doesn’t fit category of your car typical thief that uses vehicle for other crimes or a larger crime organisation (bikie etc), because cars taht are founs burnt out are commonly associated with their crimes.
Assuming this, it’s more likely those responsible are either related/connected to SM or some perv/stalker/deviate type that does this sort of surveilance / attack/kill thing whilst moonlighting as a regular citizen the rest of the time and hence needs their car to maintain this image.

On Feb 22nd ‘Crews attended a car fire in Woowookarung Regional Park, on arrival the fire had spread to bushland, quick action by crews stopped the spread of the fire.’

Well well well... Getting rid of the evidence???

I have a question for native speakers

Why is Mr Mark Hatt described as
"Acting Superintendent"
and not just Superintendent?

Is it temporal position just for this case?

Bear with me haha
I'm constantly learning English

Because he is ‘acting superintendent’, it’s a temporary position which often happens when the superintendent has been promoted, seconded to another area, is on holidays or has left the force.

Thanks!
So my hunch was right!
