Charlie Bezzina stated, when the police seemed to scale back their physical search, that he ...
".. believes police must have a specific line of inquiry to justify scaling back the physical land search for the 51-year-old.
The search, which involved police, SES and fire brigade volunteers was scaled back at the weekend, which Mr Bezzina described as "unusual"."
In Ballarat's bushland pinpointing a phone signal is hard, so apparently is falling down a mine shaft. So what could have happened to missing mother of three Samantha Murphy?

A lot of things about this crime seem , to the amateur eye, unusual. Certainly, to my amateur eye.
Irrevocably stating that Mrs Murphy is dead was one thing, calling it murder was another, and this without any sighting of the body whatsoever, by any person qualified to pronounce death, and manner of death. ... I can't recall a similar situation, certainly not when she was only missing, at that point, for a fortnight. Years maybe... but that was mighty quick, and since I have a lot of reasons to take VICPOL at their word, I do not doubt that both these things are true.
She is dead, and she was murdered, and in the opinion if VICPOL , based on hard evidence they hold, Mr S did it. . On that Sunday morning, at Mt. Clear.
The search parameters seemed just another working hypothesis, and while the heat was a factor in searchers safety, plus bushfires, and the threat of bushfires, that had logic in it.....
His silence is the big mystery to me. It does not assist him. His solicitor and his ( no doubt funded ) barrister would be advising him of this in no uncertain terms, because they know the score only too well. His silence is a real disadvantage to him, and to no one else. No one else is going to pay the piper here, They would be be telling him this every day, in as many ways as possible.
