*Quoted with permission:Sometimes, the person who has had the most to do with what may be a terrible crime feels compelled to join the search, to insert themselves into the investigation, ......offer advice to the long suffering coppers, bring gifts and food to the afflicted family, , take on a position of spokesperson, or helper..... they want to be part of it all, and, of course, to steer people away from anything that may be incriminating to themselves..... the local coppers will be keeping an eye out on who volunteers..
Usually we also hear about the 'last hours' of the victim what was she doing in the time leading up to her disappearance- this will be interesting if released or we get insider information.
oh their confederates! of course, Assuming this is a corporate murder. Which it may well be, I just don't see it that way at present. I see it as a lone instigator, lonely then and lonely now. People blab, especially when rewards are starting to appear, or when things get too hot. I don't think the utter silence surrounding this disappearance has a large cast. One person , as I see it.*Quoted with permission:
The actor(s) & their confederates have on occasion, inserted themselves into cases, into social media, into search parties and passed themselves off as "interested parties" for the sole purpose of keeping an eye on the progression of the case, evidence gathered and to spread dis-information to the media, other searchers and LE. Do not assume for one second that we operate here in some insulated environment where what we post is not watched equally by elements of LE, attention seekers, profiteers and the actors themselves. ~ TrackerGD

I don’t understand the ‘culturally incorrect’ comment.
This is in Australia where we offer large rewards, I’d like to think we get the job done, most bodies are found and most crimes are solved.
We loath domestic violence!
Cross fingers on this one.
Agree with your point about the comments SM was very strong mentally and physically. You generally need to go through tough times and come out the other side for other people to comment on being “mentally strong”. I wonder what she has had to deal with in the past.Yes, there are a few possibilities apart from accident and murder.
Edit: no, her mental state and history have not been disclosed, except that several people insist that she's very strong. You say that when someone's had to demonstrate it. I wonder about her history and also possible current stresses. But her husband in his most persuasive moment asks me to respect the family's privacy.
The most basic yet most important question to ask IMO. Very strange that more information hasn’t been released (if available)No one has come forward to say they did.

Some 10 kms away …. (Thanks for the map Granny)The focus of the search has expanded to Buninyong
Who knows where Rebecca and Michael camped? She guesses about a seven minute drive from another place which is about fifteen minutes from the national park. You'd think she'd have figured out her locations before talking to police about it. Surely her partner knew where they were since he was driving.I find this a little odd….
Michael (the camper who saw Samantha on Saturday) lost his Apple watch camping in that same area …. And it also “pinged” in the same area as Samantha’s phone….. ????
Does anyone know how far Buninyong is from the camp / running track area???
Michael also lost his Apple Watch and Ms Agheli said she had been told by police it last pinged in a similar area to where Ms Murphy's phone had also pinged in the nearby suburb of Buninyong.
Criminal psychologist's theories on missing mum
Tim Watson-Munro described her disappearance as a 'very odd case' and said nothing could be ruled out.www.dailymail.co.uk
Who was brunch with? And I agree with you, did hubby know about the brunch?I wonder if her husband knew she was going to brunch? Did these brunch friends prompt her absence to be reported more prematurely than expected? Because clearly then this absence was way out of character!
BBMEven if the footage does not depict Samantha, detectives are keen to review all footage in the areas between 7am and 7pm on Sunday, 4 February,” they said in a statement on Saturday.
No … it doesn’t … but you just never know ????If the two devices pinged there it doesn't mean they're together in the dishevelled man's collection.
Does this quote indicate that the police have evidence that Samantha did leave the home?
The focus of the search has expanded to Buninyong
"We haven't received any information relating to her movements from the moment she left [her] home address on Sunday morning," Detective Acting Superintendent Hatt said.
Inside the bushland where Ballarat mother Samantha Murphy often went running
Dozens of police, SES and townspeople have scoured this park near Ballarat over the past week. Here is what's known about where the missing 51-year-old is thought to have gone running.www.abc.net.au
Not really. For all we know it's the tower that devices in the forest normally ping to.No … it doesn’t … but you just never know ????
It just seems too much of a coincidence … IMO
I feel like that’s something you say once they’re found, all my focus would be on finding my wife and urging people to come forward with information. Food is an afterthoughtMy thoughts about the food was that he was just trying to say thanks to those who had provided it.
I don't see anything strange in thanking people.
On the morning Ms Murphy vanished, she was captured on her own CCTV system wearing a maroon/brown singlet and black half-length leggings.Does this quote indicate that the police have evidence that Samantha did leave the home?
I can't imagine there are dozens and dozens of towers in Ballarat. I suspect the tower the phone has pinged off isn't going to be specific enough for a precise location.Not really. For all we know it's the tower that devices in the forest normally ping to.
This article (linked below) has Samantha’s friend taking about the “brunch”….Who was brunch with? And I agree with you, did hubby know about the brunch?
