AgreedSome similarities to the Ristevski case as well

Agreed - looks like she’s finished her run / walk already and is coming home.
Agreed
I haven't followed the Ristevski case closely. I'm aware that the husband was found to be responsible, but that's all I know. Just wondering what the similarities are?Agreed
Robert Baden-Powell invented the Scouting movement.There was another case Baden Powell? Was Alison the victim?
I think her husband Gerard Baden Clay was a descendant of Baden-Powell, which possibly explains the confusionRobert Baden-Powell invented the Scouting movement.
You're thinking of Allison Baden-Clay.
Doesn’t make sense to me either..I just know with myself, I wouldn’t pick up dog poo before I left home, I’d deal with it when I got back so I can wash my hands. Once I’m geared up for a run or walk that’s what I do. I’m not stopping to pick up dog poop from my own front lawn. But everyone’s different.
Yes, it was taken from footage of their home cctv, before she left for her run. It was used as it shows what she was wearing on the day.I can't find any details about the photo of her holding the bag?
Was it taken at her home on the same day?
In the case of Russell Hill & Carol Clay VPOL kept things very quiet till Greg Lynn‘s arrest. Same with the mushroom women Erin PattersonI know,right?! But history tells me that the less the police tell the public, the MORE info they actually have.
Blood pressure could go down but usually people with low blood pressure are used to it. Their body accommodates. Even if it doesn’t, she must not have had it that bad, as she was able to run before and we’ve had hot weather since October. Even if she did indeed fall somewhere or got very dizzy and low, she likely would recover and get up. And walk to ask for help. Where would she be now? She is known to stick to the normal trails, not going into the bush.There are a couple of things that bother me. Well, three, actually.
* The day was unusually hot. Not setting historic records, but one of the hottest this summer, at least where I am.
* Samantha wasn't an experienced runner, or had only recently got back into running.
* She reportedly had low blood pressure.
Those three things together have the potential to be a recipe for disaster. Hot weather causes your blood vessels to dilate. If you have low blood pressure and can't get away from the heat, it can cause fainting. My partner has had low blood pressure her whole life, but it really started to impact her in her late teens. She drinks a large amount of fluids to keep her blood volume up, drinks electrolytes, salt-loads, and on hot summer days (indoors, with aircon and/or fans), she still gets dizzy spells. And she isn't going out running in a bushland area away from people.
I fear that if this is a case that doesn't involve actions by another, that Samantha has become dehydrated, POTS-y, and disoriented. In an urban area, it's dangerous enough, in a bushland area, it can be lethal, very quickly. There are the inherent risks of exposure, but also the dangers of things such as falls from height and venomous creatures such as snakes. Our fauna in Australia have a well earned reputation for being incredibly dangerous. A snake bite from a brown or king brown can be lethal without swift treatment.
MOO
I recall reading a comment from one of Samantha's friends that Samantha suffered from very low blood pressure. Shall re-post when I find it - still looking. MOOSky news article quotes a friend of Samantha’s, saying that Samantha only recently got back into running. I wonder if there was some kind of medical problem?

Yes, snakebite is a definite possibility IMO. If Samantha had been running, and was bitten, venom would circulate throughout her body very quickly, incapacitating her almost immediately. MOOThere are a couple of things that bother me. Well, three, actually.

BBMHomicide detectives called in to search for missing mum Samantha Murphy breaking news from herald sun behind paywall
That's not great news. I expect the detectives have been looking at Samantha's disappearance for many days. I would also expect that some people's movements have been monitored very closely.Homicide detectives called in to search for missing mum Samantha Murphy breaking news from herald sun behind paywall
