Could it be some sort of portable tripod or selfie stick? In the photo it looks like the top could be the clamp that holds the phone/camera, and the very bottom of the object looks like metal feet.Does anyone have any more ideas on what this bagged item from the dam could be? I’m not convinced on the torch or torque wrench idea.
There appears to be a a stainless steel part to it near the officers lower hand, it looks familiar to me but I can’t place it. Like a clip, almost a flat carabiner or fold out tool. I’ve searched for multi-tools, telescopic torches etc but can’t find a match. Interested to hear if anyone has any better ideas.
Do you think he’s holding it up the right way?
It looks like it could have a gauge on it (blue, upper stem, circular) and a small handle or hook (silver, middle). An electrical testing thing, a pump of some sort, or even a gear stick.
I’m thinking it could be a ‘D ‘ shackle , possibly in stainless steel , I’m assuming the yellow in the bottom of the plastic bag is a yellow ‘post it note’, with the identity of the bagged items handwritten onDo you think he’s holding it up the right way?

Ohhh. Also my idea (tripod), but I didn't find it 100% fitting. Though rather good, I think.Could it be some sort of portable tripod or selfie stick? In the photo it looks like the top could be the clamp that holds the phone/camera, and the very bottom of the object looks like metal feet.

This is what I thought also DrIMO this is the tool
A popular Australian brand Sidchrome 1/2 “ square drive socket ratchet wrench .. with the transverse push in directional changing mechanism … very common here has been around in this form to my experience since the 1960’s.
Not necessarily, I reckon most tradies would carry a set of wrenches as part of their tools of the tradeMight very well be such a thing. I searched for a ratchet without the plastic/rubber handle. It makes sense, but takes us dangerously close to car mechanics, I believe.![]()
Thanks for playing along everyone, good to get some other perspectives. The size/shape to me fits with something like a tripod. I’ve had another search with everyone’s alternative views and came up with a magnetic pick-up tool, but still don’t feel like it we’ve cracked itCould it be some sort of portable tripod or selfie stick?

data from PS phone?No, I meant the targeted focus on that specific dam and now. There’s many dams of a similar size located across the area of the last apparent ping.
Why request access to this specific dam 3 weeks ago and put aside 3 days to search?
Where’s the new intel coming from?
“The owner of the property, who wished to remain anonymous, told Daily Mail police contacted him about three weeks ago asking to access the property.”
Wonder what prompted this lead?

I get what you’re saying Trooper, but imo it makes scant difference whether the ID documents were still contained there or not, tho it certainly provided instant elation for the investigation teamYes,..maybe, not cool, rather lazy descriptor on my part, ..but , in the terms of cataloguing this kind of stuff, perhaps, 'organised' as opposed to 'disorganised' .. it seems to me, the phone throwing in the dam is a highly disorganised action, particularly when the case had her licence and medicare cards and whatnot, whatever Mick said she had , still intact.
As opposed to the apparent high level of organisation in the actual murder and aftermath.
A big contrast between the organised and a disorganised component.
The Ping decoy is to suggest the body is far away from where it is.I agree. I think he got rid of Sam’s body immediately and near by. Mine shaft or water is my guess and leaning more towards water. Water would hasten decomposition and reduce the smell wouldn’t it?
But why would you risk creating a decoy? Wouldn’t it be smarter to completely de-identify, destroy and separately bury the cards, phone and wallet?
He is so silent and keeping a really low profile on all other fronts so it doesn’t seem congruent at all that he’d risk attention with a decoy that is quite oddly intact once retrieved.
