There are no facts or evidence that we know of to say PS did it. Where is your proof to say he put the phone in the dam ?I am happy to agree to disagree with you. I can see how it is likely that PS did. Thanks, Scooby.
My bets on either PS or a rogue bear.We'll see
Who put her phone in the dam ?
Have you got the facts ?? On the rogue bear, I am more interested in ?My bets on either PS or a rogue bear.
It’s called off isn’t it?
the Search is back on, this time , Grenville, again.
( this little clip again reiterates that Police are not receiving their info from Stephenson. Unsurprisingly )
A very rogue bear, half a world away from where they're native.My bets on either PS or a rogue bear.
Not a Nubian slave girl or two?My bets on either PS or a rogue bear.
I believe so. That was posted 2 days ago.It’s called off isn’t it?
Thanks Rocket that was the next one on the list after Monsters the Menendez brothers story (which I can recommend).As a relevant aside, watch the Netflix doco, “Into the Fire: The Lost Daughter” if you can. Trailer below.
Have you watched it now? I wanted to comment on it, particularly the ending, but can’t without spoiling it for people who haven’t seen it.Thanks Rocket that was the next one on the list after Monsters the Menendez brothers story (which I can recommend).
That should teach me to read the date /time carefully, AND before shiraz with the lamb. Either way, again, Police have stated they are not getting info from Stephenson .It’s called off isn’t it?
It’s always one or more parties. A statement of the bleeding obvious.In sticking to the facts, what was said was "one OR more parties".
AFAIK police never committed to 'more parties involved' they kept it broad. It's smart policing as it keeps the suspect guessing and if there is anyone on the periphery of the crime or if someone holds a piece of information, they may feel pressured to come forward. It's police covering all bases IMO.
Hatt said the most likely scenario is that Murphy’s disappearance involves “one or more parties”.
“Given the extensive and detailed search that has already been undertaken, and the fact no sign of Samantha or her personal belongings has been located, we have ruled out any type of medical incident,” he said.
“There is also nothing to indicate that Samantha left the area of her own accord.
“Based on our elimination process we do think that another party has been involved, whether it be one person or a number of people.”
‘Looking for a body’: Police provide grim update in case of missing mum
Detectives are now focusing their search for Samantha Murphy on an area 5km from her home after receiving new phone data information.7news.com.au
It’s interesting how some are presented with the evidence and fold (eg Adrian Bayley) and others persist with their steadfast silence (Patrick Stephenson). Makes me wonder about the nature of the evidence and if PS still holds hope, feels unable to confess, or just does not care. In remand he would have access to a tv and/or newspapers or social media etc wouldn’t he? He’d surely know about the searches, and the massive effort being spent trying to find Sam. I reckon if he’s trying to protect anyone it’d be his family. Thats why the initial name suppression occurred wasn’t it? To protect his parents.
I was of the belief that it was Mick who triggered the alarm. Sam wasn’t home as expected by 9.30 /10.00 am, and when he tried to call her, her phone was switched off (her Uncle reported that she never turned her phone off).One of the reasons we do know, quite categorically, that he was short on time is that the Brunch folks set up the hue and cry around 12.30. - 1pm. and between Mick and the Brunch folks, VICPOL immediately took on the urgency, the inexplicability of her non appearance at the brunch and a large scale search commenced , police, fire brigade, SES, and assorted searching people from the tennis club and the dog walkers club, this was around 1.15pm.
It is an error to think that everything revolved around the 'ping'.. there was a lot going on that afternoon, and the traffic of people, dogs, horse riders, police vans, motor cycles etc, all out in the combined effort, the news of Mrs Murphy being missing , was spread by phone and facebook stuff, the temperature rising galvanized a hell of a lot of searchers on that afternoon, professional and amateur. Mrs Murphy was a registered missing person by 1pm that day.. not 5pm.
He was short on time in the context that by 1.15pm, the track, the forest was becoming somewhat crowded, traffic on the track was steady, he did not have the forest to himself, nor the track, nor any other tracks, both firetracks, and cattle tracks.. People were OUT there all afternoon and night from 1.15 on.
Murder 8am, - Brunch ladies hue and cry 1pm. 4 hours. = short on time.
I too think it’s possible someone else helped remove the body. I feel terribly for Samantha’s family.Personally I don't think she's in a mine shaft. There are lots of people who go hunting for new ones to explore. To know a shaft that no one will ever enter or look in is unlikely or really gambling.
Getting a bit of a feeling that after all these searches and nothing to show for it that whatever phone data, information etc they have, may not find her. Perhaps she has been moved from that area or she was never there. Perhaps, and I'm getting increasingly drawn to the theory that someone else did hide her and perhaps left no digital trace or anything the police know about.
It's smelling of something bigger that just PS. I won't speculate but potentially the true story of all this would make one hell of a movie.
