Thanks AWS. Can you show us the whole thing please? Is it an arc or a circle?

sure. An Arc is simply a section of a circle. The upper portion of the circle goes through Mount Clear.

That is a fallacy.
And, yes, there were concerns for her safety. Sam was not answering her phone (which apparently she always answered), she was late home, she was due to attend a brunch.

This was from the below channel 9 news article:
"Samantha Murphy functioned like "clockwork", so her husband knew something was wrong when she failed to return to her Ballarat East home on the morning of February 4."

Coupled with the fact she did not answer her phone and was late coming home, "functioning like clockwork" might prompt police action quicker than normal. Perhaps she knew some local police, who were aware this was very out of character, so pushed to be involved sooner. Perhaps the weather or terrain meant police acted quickly. Let's be honest - could it have been because she's a white, middle aged woman, with work/home/community obligations who appeared to be very responsible, organised, and followed a routine? She was an upstanding member of society. In the days following, she caught the attention of the media, and the world, it seems. She was relatable, the mum-next-door type. Who really knows why police acted so quickly, given she was an adult and AFAIK, had no other reasons why police would act immediately. Police do tend to move quickly for minors, those with mental or physical health concerns, or those believed to be vulnerable/in danger. Could it been as simple as it was a quiet policing day, and they figured it would just be a matter of searching some trails and finding her with a twisted ankle, or a snake bite, making her fit the "being in danger" category? We may never know.

Given the recent posts about the phone, it makes this scenario more likely as phones don't work underwater. Those who say the phone was at the dam have to reconcile that the phone was not in the dam and why they did not reconcile the phone earlier. But we know the phone was underwater at that dam.

The owner of the dam was questioned early on, suggesting that it was about that 5pm ping from the single cell phone tower. How we can be sure of only one phone tower?

Samantha Murphy mystery is starting to unravel

Alternatively did he actually turn the phone on before he threw it in the water creating the ping?

Initial reports Samantha's phone PINGED off the Buninyong tower supposedly at 5pm on the day she was doing a 14km run and was switched on.

But I find it interesting, that Mick had stated previously that her phone was OFF as he had tried calling her that morning.

It was off because he turned it off. It was detected with apple phone tracking or he turned it on just before he threw it in the dam .

Or possibly it was put into a metal box, which would eliminate a ping from the tower

Which apple phone tracking do you mean here?

If it pinged the tower, it must have been turned back on at 5pm, at some location in that sector - we don't know where exactly. My guess is this perp is an idiot, because by doing that, he created enough of a lead that they found the phone in the end.
