The police would be checking....

After reading about the close proximity of a violent assault one year ago 15 km away, I'm leaning towards that type of disappearance.There have been a few interesting coincidences recently in Ballarat.
I'm not saying they are connected just putting it out there. In Oct last year a senior Bandido member was shot outside their clubhouse. The clubhouse is in the same Industrial estate, a 2 min drive from Inland Smash repairs, owned by the Murphy's.
Member of notorious motorcycle gang shot during bikie run in Ballarat
Victoria Police say a senior member of the Bandidos motorcycle gang presented to a Ballarat hospital with a gunshot wound. The gang is in Ballarat for its national run.
Then in Dec 2023 another Smash repair business in Ballarat, which is only 2.5km from the Industrial estate is involved in major fraud charges.
Apologies that this article is behind a paywall
Biker gangs in Australia are notoriously standover merchants and involved in car rebirthing and the smash repair industry.
Once again I'd like to stress that I'm not saying the Murphy business was involved its just interesting. I'm probably seeing patterns where there aren't any.
Then there was the murder/suicide of the Bandido and his partner in Sebastapol recently.
It's interesting when you map out all these locations along with the Mt Clear and Murphy's home.
Just spitballing as they say
Opportunistic predator.
these folks or this person do not seem to have a vehicle (?) IMO so while they/he might be able to hide a body by tossing it in the brush, are they really capable of moving some one a great distance or tidying up a crime scene?
Investigators are searching on a service-road/ trail called Boak Road. Someone could easily have seen Samantha on Eureka Road, and criss-crossed her running path in a car until she was at Boak Road.
Nope. This is a well planned organised hit
Yes I agree with all the above and police asking about vehicles with damage could also be related to non human collisions. They mention property damage too. The driver/s may have had to drive through private fences or gates to leave the area unseen by main roads or people. They also may have swerved and hit trees or street sign poles/letterboxes/wheelie bins-things on the edges of dwellings. If someone demanded Samantha to get in a car and she didn't, and as police say they believe she was removed from the area unwillingly or "not under her own steam" this could of led to the perp/s having to travel in directions they hadn't planned on, higher risk areas. There could also be a call out for help from the initial perp and she was transferred to another vehicle and taken elsewhere so one car is tracked and pinged and another is seen nearby within that 7AM to 7PM Sunday time bracket. A car is clocked without damage but doesn't return the same route, or at all. Police have searched many properties. I don't like to think that Sam was hit by a car either deliberately or accidentally because it is so awful but its obviously a big possibility. If it was intentional, who wants that kind of evidence to conceal? But as many have noted things don't always go to plan and, someone in an irrational elevated state may not have been thinking ahead like that. People who commit these crimes are not always as smart as they think they are. Police may be hoping for a strand of hair or fabric or a spot of blood, that would be solid evidence. They also may be just looking for dashcam footage of someone driving in and out of the area of interest with a banged up panel/broken light to get a match on forensics that also lines up with a ping or traffic light camera photo.
Random, you mean?
Opportunistic predators keep an eye out for vulnerable women. They are organized in their predatory behaviour. When they see a vulnerable woman, they put the plan into action. Think Bundy, ready with a fake cast and crutches. They all have a plan that they believe guarantees not getting caught, because they don't want to get caught.
That poor girl didn't disappear,

If that was the case the police would be warning the public and there would be more concerns for the community and anyone entering the bush
