I don't find the idea that Elisa in a moment of depression took her own life to be hard to believe, and am pretty familiar with depression. My own is controlled with medication. It's unclear though what Elisa's mental state was. She is mentioned as having been depressed, does that mean she had...

In the absence of a suicide note or something else, it does seem like a very rapid move to a missing person search.

That's true, just the police flyer that says "reported to be an alcoholic". Would they put that in there if it just the word of one person? I assumed something like that they would check it a bit.

I was using that term in the sense of unpredictable or unreliable. It seems pretty clear that her drinking on the Saturday was not supposed to happen(given she is an alcoholic). Then there's the mention of her going off by herself before and the fact that she had an ongoing inheritance dispute...

But this is the part I don't get - if she was such a loose unit, so to speak, why was she left all alone at the holiday home to begin with?

I believe it's a reference to this appearance, lots of blinking.

That part doesn't make sense does it? Unless she either made a spur of minute decision to end her life and wasn't planning to when she set out, or she had an accident while going for a run. You would think if she had planned to end her life, she would make sure the dog was looked after and safe...

Are 'human remains' and "body" normally used interchangeably? I have seen this described as both in MSM reports.

One of the items looks like am ambulance/hospital blanket or towel. The other may have been the towel of the swimmer who found the body.

Yes, imagine seeing that on your trip to the beach. So sad.

Or is the pixelation in the spot near the police to conceal the pink and white objects(towels?) that you can see in the other pictures? The article is here.

I'll just leave them off. Don't want to cause probs. Boy, this case has me feeling pretty sad for Elisa. It seems like her life was not super happy..

I thought this was okay as it is the FB page of a MSM outlet? Or is it actually quoting from the comments? Do not link to an individual’s social media unless that individual is a case player (Victim or named Suspect/Person of Interest). You may link to the official social media pages of...

A couple of interesting older comments from the 9 News FB page: [Edited - quotes from reader comments removed as I realised this is not allowed under board rules] It does seem like police are going down the road of "let the offender think they're safe, then they'll make a big error in judgement".

This is the first time I have seen mention of Elisa's family of origin in the media. It confirms she does have just the one sibling, a brother. Weird that the death notice I found for Elisa's mum was from Elisa and her brother but made no mention of the father. That gave me the impression he...
