I agree the scale might hint at something more, but at the same time they may be thinking "we go hard now or regret a cold trail later". The WT comparisons might be weighing heavily atm.

Sniffer dogs *might* have issues finding the deceased in a chimney bc soot and coal absorb odour. Hopefully they could be more effective with Gus. I hope cadaver dogs are being used, even if others have said they are not available in SA.

Incredibly CRUEL money hungry click-bait on Rupert Murdochs "News" site right now. It's a top story. Just a non-story to say "not related at all". Barely a sentence worth of story. People are horrified by AI misleading the public. But our culture was ruined before that by these pathetic...

So a 4yo can walk 0.8 to 1.6 km in 30 minutes. But this is supervised with an adult with them, so they have motivation to walk, and the adult keeps them walking. Alone it would be far, far less - because a 4yo would amble, have little rests, look at things. If they do find him many kilometres...

Wonder how far away you'd have to be to loose sight of the homestead? Can imagine a 4 year old getting lost in a forest and not know the way back because they lose sight of their home due to trees... But to walk ~200 meters, lose a bit of enthusiasm, and to look back and see your home because...

He's pretty clear: "It's not going to happen - a wedge tail will pick up a kilo or two. They're not going to pick up a 4 year old . There's no pigs, there's no wild dogs, there's no foxes". He knows the area well and worked with the SES for two decades. 30 minutes is a long time to of not...

I was wondering why a certain media outlet was focusing so intensely on the unrelated private life of a person involved and now we know - drum up a storm and then put the "exclusive" (yet still unrelated) behind a paywall.

Thanks for the info I hope this is the next step? Can't think of any reason not to do it, or why it hasn't happened already. Besides jurisdiction paperwork loaning the dogs, I guess. Just do it.

Whoa Harley's case is odd. In that case though cadaver dogs were only used outside the house, and the poor kid was trapped in a chimney inside the house... I'm no expert, but the dogs had some distance and barriers between them and him? I'm sure they'd still of had some chance, but maybe just...

The property looks pretty shambolic. Easy for a kid to crawl and hide, even if you think everything has been searched. In cases where a body is discovered years after in a very close location - were cadaver dogs actually used? In the Daniel O’Keeffe case it sounds possible the police did not...

At this stage after days of not finding him surely a photo is needed, just in case somebody in the country spots him in another location altogether (for what ever reason). The longer that is left the less chance people have of remembering? I figure that radius is what they could comfortably...

Yes exactly. The police know him well. I definitely want them to investigate things, but at the same time I don't expect them to do perfunctory work to appease my curiosity based on podcast hear-say from people who without exception didn't have the conviction to give proper statements, proper...

First few minutes are just to say another person has come forward to say they knew a person who knew a relation who claimed FA was involved. No mention of when all this happened, and I assume they didn't try to tell police because that wasn't raised as a massive failing of the police as it...

So Ms Bulley comes forward, a decade later, to report an unknown or unnamed person once spoke to her, and he said he heard second hand from another person that he thought FA was responsible. Ms Bulley said she called the police to tell them. She missed a return call. She rang again and left a...

Not that I don't appreciate the podcast digging up more possibilities - sometimes you really have to be aware of the winning format of true crime content while listening to this stuff. In ep14 of Witness there is a story where the police are told Margaret was seen with FA. (~30min in) The...
