Brookfield, Queensland here. Joined for the Allison Baden-Clay case, and have been back in real life since it finished. Now just popping back in occasionally to check on proceedings re Gerard's appeal. Also got involved in the Jill Meagher and the Morgan Huxley cases.

Just to be fair though, the writer of the book is David Murray, one of the crime reporters that works with Kate Kyriacou and whose tweets from the courtroom we were all following avidly. He has been following and reporting on this case for a long time, and will have a unique inside slant on what...

Not only is Rafting Ground Rd the "back way" - it is also the most direct way from the BC house, both to the Bwanahouse and also to Kholo Creek. Nobody who lives in Brookfield that I know of would dream of going all the way up into Kenmore then back out again, when Rafting Ground Rd is the...

ROTF :) Classic Makara...! :blowkiss:

Greg - in case you may have missed it, see my post addressing these points a few pages up-thread. And also the original poster's very gracious reply to my post.

Hi Digitup :) While theoretically possible, it would be difficult. And fairly pointless. First, mefloquine has been withdrawn from sale, so availability is either difficult or impossible. Similar drugs from the same group don't have anywhere near the same side-effect profile. (EDIT: Correction...

One cyber Valium milkshake heading your way, TGY ;)

That is a very gracious post, FormerDet - and thank you for taking it in the spirit in which it was intended. And your last line, unfortunately, says it all :(

Please allow me to answer some of the assertions or conclusions you have in your post - nothing personal, but merely correcting a couple of misconceptions: I agree with you that Allison finding out about the affair being ongoing may well have devastated her, BUT - and this is a big "but" - you...

That is a very big "IF" though. It's the key word. And microscopic examination could not say that it was a haemorrhage. Again, I'd just point out that the wording was Nathan Milne being thorough and covering all POSSIBILITIES, as he had to. The bottom line, you'll recall, is that he could...

My opinion, for what it's worth, is that even IF the tiny amount of granular material found overlying Allison's left cerebral hemisphere WAS a small subdural haemorrhage, it was nowhere near significant enough to be a cause of death. Which is also what Dr Milne thought. The possibility - however...

Yup - indeed they can. The language and wording in the docs themselves is very dry, factual, formal stuff. What the media have done is interpret what they think is something significant and beat it up into something they think is newsworthy - which it really isn't. That's what I would call a...

That's actually a typical Fairfax media beat up. All of that is in the original autopsy report, which many of us already have. And it wasn't Nathan Milne speculating - it was him being thorough by saying "such-and-such could not be excluded". And for the record, the microscopy on the material...

Yes - you're right. The scalp was very decomposed, the hair came out in large tufts very easily, and the scalp slippage is the putrefied scalp slipping off the underlying bone. Sorry to be so graphic. But large areas of the scalp were actually missing, along with parts of the face, with the...

My own humble theory on the blood in the car is that it most likely came from Allison's head - probably a part of her scalp - when she got dumped into the car. Her head would have been over to one side of the car, probably. And there is enough blood in someone's scalp to deposit that little...
