Divers entering the damn at 4pm, when sunset is 5.15pm is very promising in my opinion. I'm not sure how deep the dam is currently, but an article mentioned it had receded several metres over recent times. Perhaps it's not that deep that they can search the entire dam before sunset? Fingers crossed.Crime scene officers soon arrived at the property after a sniffer dog drew about a dozen police to the dam’s banks.
A television camera captured a pair of police officers then donning masks, laying down a yellow evidence marker and photographing a phone.
Shortly after 4pm, a police diver entered the dam to search for Murphy’s body.
Snipped …

Phone found in fresh search for Samantha Murphy’s body
A police source, speaking anonymously owing to the sensitivity of the investigation, is confident the phone belonged to the 51-year-old mother.www.theage.com.au
Goes a long way in explaining why the dogs did not originally pick up scent. This goes for Samantha 's body, as well .. underwater, underground... I don't know how much rain Ballarat shire has had these last few months, but not much, I am guessing, , winter rains have not begun, everyone's dam is a bit down .7news: water levels in the dam are at the lowest in a while.
Maybe the items were spotted by a farmer or passer-by?
Just a small dam .. now. After our low-rain/no-rain summer and autumn.
and very close to someone's shed.....or is that a house?...Wow it looks like a very small, very shallow damn.
Interesting to see the house in the backgroundThe diver entering the water …

Doesn't look like a horse property, the fences are not tall enough, could be goats, or sheep. .. and not isolated, it looks like the property next door is in the frame. I mean, it's not outback , bush, if you get my drift.Both I think Troop … a house (red brick) and a shed ….
IMO
Hopefully they will Drain the dam for a proper look.7news: water levels in the dam are at the lowest in a while.

maybe it was... maybe this phone has been thrown in there recently, from somewhere else..So, if it is indeed Samantha's phone, I don't understand why that dam wasn't thoroughly searched from top to bottom earlier, however deep, given that is where it last pinged?
