Well that show wasn’t so helpful! A disappointment to me. Nothing really new but was interesting to see footage of the trails, it’s more open and beautiful than I imagined. Not thick/heavy remote bush land.
Interesting how others on WS thought the show was deliberately applying high pressure to a very specific statistically most likely POI, I just can’t see it myself but perhaps we see what we want to see? The specific POI theory might be right - time will tell… It’s my #3 theory as it has to be considered but I just can’t see it in this case as the most likely, for various reasons.
I’m still running with random predator theory as #1. Highly organised and switched on though - to be able to disable phones, leave no trace or clue. Scary to think someone like that may still be out there. Hopefully if so, they are being very closely watched.
#2 accidental encounter with criminal behaviour. Two options:
- SM accidentally witnessed a drug deal or someone’s drug stash, and was silenced.
- or maybe a hit & run involving a driver that already had something to hide (speeding, drunk, drugged, unlicensed, car thief? Or just panicked?). Even a carload of drunk or methed up hoons, joyriding through the forest after an all night party, egging on the driver, a dare of sorts to deliberately hit a runner? I think it’s happened before so plausible. And then a scramble to cover up, move & body. Also a possibility that as a result of collision SM ended up landing on or in the vehicle or in the back of the pickup tray - in panic car keeps going and pulls over later to deal with it. It was interesting reading the link of the mother and son in NT who moved a body to hide a hit and run. How silly of them not to check the body had all its limbs?!
Question in the case of Gerard Baden Clay was he left to care for his kids while under investigation? IIRC his kids went off to live with grandparents during that period, which went on for weeks - but I may have it wrong.
