In the press conference on Friday, when Hatt was asked directly by journalist about bikie links - he stated that he couldn't comment. He was also explicit in saying there is no risk to members of the community based on their current investigation. As I said, my hunch.
Thanks!. So the perpetrator might have stayed in the area for the day and moved the phone with them, do you think?My understanding is that the phone pinged 11 km away from her home at 5 PM either at, or near, a golf course. I think that's a different location than the current search of the Mount Clear trails.

It would be a big risk to Samantha's family if she worked undercover with police. That alone leaves me doubting any connection to organized crime.The only reason I could think of anyone 'organised' targeting Sam is if they discovered that she personally was blowing the whistle on someone. Personally working with the police - giving them information - to bring someone down.
In which case, the police would already know about that investigation and Sam's involvement.
And I don't know how that organisation would know that Sam would be in the Mt Clear area at about 8am on Sunday morning.

So if the relied on example say a heart rate monitor to determine the area of Mount Clear - when they ascertained a change in momentum. Slowed down, revved up etc.IMOWhat police wrote on Thurs
"They will focus on an area highlighted by intelligence derived from phone data.".
Search continues for missing woman Samantha Murphy
Detectives from the Missing Persons Squad will today lead a targeted search of the Mount Clear area as part of their…www.police.vic.gov.au
That 'intelligence,' may not be a ping, but data from, eg, a heart rate monitor, or gps running app, that shows she stopped moving there, or something.
It's not been confirmed, but there are rumours of a ping (or perhaps an apple locate address) later in the day, from several kms away from MT. Clear. Someone may have taken her there temporarily, and moved her later, or whatever.

ETA, in one US case, the killer somehow briefly filmed himself, after the murder, on the victim's phone! Handling phones is tricky, you might carelessly turn one on, etc.
I think Samantha was abducted within a couple of hours of going for a run. I think she was taken somewhere, perhaps 20 miles South of her home, left there, and her phone pinged several hours later near the golf course in the process of destroying evidence.Thanks!.

Didn't police ask about vehicles with some damage? That would be related to someone hitting Samantha with a vehicle - accidentally, or intentionally, and removing her from the scene.
She could have been accosted on the trails and then taken somewhere by vehicle (more than one person). She might be in the area, but it sounds like investigators are trying to pinpoint the exact location where something went wrong. That is, they're looking for evidence that was dropped or left behind at the time of the attack so they can find the original crime scene. Search dogs might be useful if the crime scene can be located.
One year apart.First time posting on this case.
I find the Sissy Austin assault from back in Feb last year, hard not to think about when thinking about this missing persons case. It’s just a massive red flag for me being recent, only 15kms away approx, given it’s a female jogging in the bush and the man was never caught.
Also the report by the campers (Rebecca agheli & Michael church hill) who recently saw someone who looked odd looking / scary who seems to match the type of person who assaulted Sissy Austin.
It’s just feels too much of a red flag / coincidence for me and I think this person they described is more than likely the person who attacked Samantha Murphy.
Of course there are definitely other options on what could have happened but I feel that this person would be at the top of my suspect list.
Have there been any further reports (eg. by locals) on who this person could be?
Looking at the shape of the road on the map, especially the curves / corners on the right hand side of the map, I think it might be Boak Road, Mt Clear????Interesting where the arrow is pointing in the Canadian plantation search area? MOO
So far we have people who strongly believe family were involved, and people who strongly believe bikies were involved, and people who strongly believe this is random.
To me, that goes to show there is no clear answer yet.
I did notice when I just relistened to the latest presser ... Mark Hatt was directly asked if there was a suspect (as opposed to POIs), Mark couldn't comment on that either.

No comment doesn't mean that there is information related to the question. The husband is not a suspect.So far we have people who strongly believe family were involved, and people who strongly believe bikies were involved, and people who strongly believe this is random.

I think, it was planned and a targeted attackSince I joined WS in 2021,
I have followed numerous threads of women attacked randomly while running or walking alone:
Rachel Morin
Eliza Fletcher
Zara Aleena
Julia James
Sarah Everard
Libby Squire
Kendra Hanks
Maria Rawlings
Ashling Murphy
And there are many, many others
And now...
Samantha Murphy
Who went running alone in the nature trail early in the morning.
Is this case really different than others?
Others of victims of random attacks?
I’m pretty sure the media said the search was on this road.Looking at the shape of the road on the map, especially the curves / corners on the right hand side of the map, I think it might be Boak Road, Mt Clear????
