Looking at satellite images, it looks like there are a few things in this area- a working gold mine with some quarry ponds, a sewage facility and Yarowee plantation. Can any locals elaborate on anything additional?
was this the place someone linked (could have even been in thread #4) about historical ballarat case of man keeping a teenager in a mine shaft cage? I can't search right now but maybe.
I don't recall anything reported, other than she didn't see Sam.
They're probably filming hi rez & infra red cams too. They did a similar search a couple of weeks ago, maybe they're looking for anything thats changed?
Terrorism. Criminal intent.

I thought there was some press coverage that the mysterious jogger was heading in the opposite direction to Sam but to be honest, there are no facts so who knows?
And that might just blow the case out of the water and prevent charges being laid or a successful trial. All the trouble Lisa Wilkinson caused by speaking out. Not the same, I know. But fam has to follow advice from police.
I once was tracked down by DM journo who found me by phoning a tradie I wrote a Google review of years ago. I could not believe the time it must have taken to find me.Inside Samantha Murphy's tragic last overseas holiday

'The victim has no secrets': Sly comments on missing Ballarat woman Samantha Murphy
Sly of the Underworld has commented on missing Ballarat woman Samantha Murphy, who hasn’t been seen since going for a jog on the morning of February 4th. “In these sort of circumstances, the victim has no secrets,” Sly told Ross and Russ. Press PLAY to hear his comments Image (Murphy): Victoria...
It sounds like one of the detectives working this case is Samantha Russell. Samantha is an awesome detective, dedicated and dogged.
She was involved in the investigation of missing woman Kelly Zhang. There was media interest in the case at the time although there may not have been much coverage out of Victoria.
Here's an article about Det. Samantha Russell and her work on the Kelly Zhang case.
‘I’m not leaving here until we find her’: The dogged police hunt for a murder victim’s body
Solving the murder was never enough for Samantha Russell. Finding Ju “Kelly” Zhang’s body, giving her family closure, is what drove the detective and her team.www.theage.com.au
"Russell is everything you want to see in a modern cop. Smart, dedicated and committed to her job and the victims she represents. The former emergency nurse took to policing in 2011 and soon knew she wanted to work on complex cases such as Zhang’s. Ten years later she won the Mick Miller Detective of the Year Award for her work in this case. “I’ve told her I’ll be working for her one day,” says Combridge, her squad boss."
Wow, I hope people start to spill the beans.
So how does it work the police bugging someone's phone? Can they just do it to anyone? or do you have to have some sort of legal clearance like a warrant?
