I don't know why. If Greg Lynn can kill two people, transport them elsewhere, conceal their bodies so well that the police had to be led to the area in order to find what was left of their remains, stay off the police radar for months, I don't know why PS couldn't have done similar with one victim.
imo
For me,there is a big difference between the two situations.
1) Greg Lynn was alone in the wilderness with 2 dead bodies. He had plenty of time to plan his actions, load the bodies & transport them under cover of darkness (presumably) and total obscurity, to a place where he felt comfortable to leave them, before heading back to the sanctity of his home 500 km away.
He then had some 20 months of ‘perceived freedom’ to reconsider his decisions, actions, placements & stories - going back to the scenes of his abhorrent behaviour to make doubly sure in his mind that he had all his i’s dotted & t’s crossed appropriately, to neatly match his murderous ego.
2) Based on the information we currently have available to us, Samantha left her home on the outskirts of Ballarat around 7am for a walk / run / jog ( whatever it was ).
I’m sure locals can correct me, but imo she was not in the wilderness. She lived in an area where there were other homes on small acreages, there was a bitumen road running by, other people jogged / ran in the area ( we had confusion initially with one such person on camera being confused for SM), was close to a national park with trails that were used by other exercise enthusiasts.
We’re told that within an HOUR (8am) Samantha was Dead - deliberately murdered somewhere in the Mt Clear area ( locals ??) about 6 or 7 km from her home. To my knowledge, Mt Clear is a busy area with some 15,000 + cars traversing each day. I imagine there must be cameras along all those busy roads.
After a month, a 22 year old, gainfully employed local man from ( by all accounts) a respected, close & supportive family (he worked in family business) was Charged with her murder, although there is no sign of her body some 7months later.
* When Sam disappeared / was murdered, there was no cover of darkness; there was a very slim chance of being inconspicuous - in either being there, the ‘doing of’ or the removal of her from the area; there was a very slim chance that someone wouldn’t hear something, even her scream; there will have been very little time to formulate a plan of action & to then put it in place. SM was not a small lady. is young, fit and tall, but I still think he would’ve found it a challenging task to load her body into a vehicle, particularly when stressed.
Then to find a suitable spot to conceal her body, totally unseen - concealed so well that it’s still not been found.
is a local electrician, and a young ‘rager’. .. imo he would have to be reasonably well known / recognisable. He didn’t have the luxury of driving 500 km back to home obscurity. … well -
- maybe he did go AWOL for a couple of days to dispose of her body - have they searched anywhere but local ?
He was apparently under surveillance for 2 weeks - did he act normally & go to work as usual in that time ?
Does anyone know if his GF was at the house when he was arrested ?
All MOO / thoughts and apologies for the long post… so much to ponder.
