From autopsy report....
There are no injuries typical of what is seen when a body is being washed around in moving water.
I partially observed the body from the bridge
As the body was found below a bridge reported to be 14m high, injuries from a fall from a height need to be considered as a possible cause of death. As she was found directly underneath the bridge there would have to have been some movement of the body after impact with the ground or water. This possibly could have been by herself, by another person or by the tide.
With a fall from such a height I would expect injuries to have been identified at post-mortem examination if the fall was onto the ground. However, if the fall was onto water the degree of injury could be less. If there had been a fall into water, this could have predisposed her to drowning.

There was no blood cause he didn't cut himself shaving .... He would have to scrub the razor for it not to show any trace.
A deceased body dropped from a height would not sustain the same injuries as a living person. Police very early on determined that Allison was deceased before her body was taken to Kholo Creek.
The bridge is reported to be 14m high. Is this at its highest point from the ground I wonder? Which would be approximately the centre of the bridge above the river.
In the attached images below, the blurred image is Allison's body. You can see that she was found closer to the approach to the bridge and IMO it doesn't look like a 14m drop at that spot. You can also see that her body was not directly under the bridge but could be viewed by leaning over the bridge rail.

And if there were big bloody chunks of his skin in his razor, wouldn't he have wanted to keep it to show anyone who asked. After all he was very conscious of the marks and even blurted out to the police his reasons for them before they even asked. The marks on his face were the biggest sign that something was terribly wrong. No way he would have scrubbed it clean.
Loaded with logic Alioop.....this is a really pertinent point. GBC and his Defence team must be really worried about that aspect. Then again, it could be said that he always rinsed the razor under the tap during the activity of shaving, and in retrospect and under the circumstances, he should not have rinsed the razor; but in his panic about Allison being missing he wasn't thinking straight.And if there were big bloody chunks of his skin in his razor, wouldn't he have wanted to keep it to show anyone who asked.

The girls woke the following morning to the news from their father that their mother wasn't home.
In GBc initial statement he said he got up at 6am. Sarah got uo first and THEN he cut himself shaving.
Sarah got up late this morning - they were tired - I doubt the girls were put to bed at 6.30 - 7.00pm

Wowww some faces I've not seen for a LONG time!!!
Welcome back to all of you....great to see you back on board
Came across this before when reading through the autopsy report...
There was also a big defect on the left shin.....
.....there may have been a pre-existing injury, however due to post -mortem changes this could not be confirmed.
If the girls ran cross country & later went swimming at BC Snrs (kids in pool when GBC arrived with sausages) I think it's possible they were worn out early that night, but the stated bedtime is conservative - how long would it take for 3 girls to bathe & get ready for bed?
If a bloke really truly woke up early in the morning, noted his wife was missing and then decided he needed a shave ...
Nah, try again. (That looks a bit dopey):
Why would a bloke even bother about shaving when he realized that something was amiss? His wife was seriously absent.
As a matter of priorities, where does a morning facial SHAVE fit in?
