    Australia - 3 dead after eating wild mushrooms, Leongatha, Victoria, Aug 2023 #13 *Arrest*

    A close-to-home example: Greg Domaszewicz, acquitted of the 1997 murder of Jaidyn Leskie in Moe (neighboring town of Morwell).

    Australia - 3 dead after eating wild mushrooms, Leongatha, Victoria, Aug 2023 #13 *Arrest*

    I've only known one Australian household that routinely used paper plates instead of owning a set of china. They were 20-somethings living out of home for the first time, and... shall we say... housekeeping-challenged. I can think of many households where there were an array of mismatched...

    Garbage disposals are very rare in Australian houses. I don't believe I've ever seen one. Household waste would go out in the council collection bin, the "wheelie bin". They are reasonably resistant to most wildlife if they are not overfilled.

    Australia - 3 dead after eating wild mushrooms, Leongatha, Victoria, Aug 2023 #12 *Arrest*

    It feels like she was on the cusp of the perfect murder. If she just, from day 1, announced "OMG I FED THEM FORAGED MUSHROOMS! YOU DON'T SUPPOSE I MISIDENTIFIED THEM??", then the cops would have had the darndest time proving she intended harm. She could have handed over the contaminated...

    Fwiw I think the meaning of the message has been mangled in the media. I suspect, as a single parent, she would be entitled to receive child support and FTB, but she hadn't applied because she believed they were filing their taxes as a married couple. I feel like the actual text of the message...

    Australia - 3 dead after eating wild mushrooms, Leongatha, Victoria, Aug 2023 #10 *Arrest*

    Oooh, I read that she bought "1.5kg of mashed potato" and thought it was crazy that she used ready made. I hadn't thought that it might be "mashing potatoes". I bought some mashing potatoes from Woolies last weekend. The receipt in the rewards app says "Potato mash 1.5kg". It's potatoes, not...

    Australia - 3 dead after eating wild mushrooms, Leongatha, Victoria, Aug 2023 #9 *Arrest*

    Actually, I'm not finding this allegation surprising. We already know that she has initiated multiple separations from him - common in women attempting to leave controlling/narcissistic partners, who are then "love bombed" into giving them another chance. We know Erin felt he was financially...

    Found Deceased Australia - Russell Hill, 74, & Carol Clay, 72, Wonnangatta Valley, 20 Mar 2020 #6 *charges*

    I wonder if those close to him ever suspected anything, and if so, when? He must have been absolutely dropping from exhaustion after that night's activities. Did he go straight home and sleep? Did he take himself off somewhere else, and arrive home at something closer to the usual expected time?

    The fire has many benefits for the killer - added to the uncertainty about what had transpired, destroyed evidence, occupied police time and added complexity to determining what, if anything, was missing from the campsite. I can't think of any compelling reason for him NOT to burn the site.

    I'm so sorry there was no option for a happy conclusion to this story, but I hope this discovery eases the pain of living with an unanswered question for the family and friends - and helps secure the conviction of the responsible party.

    Could it be a subtlety of wording? They hadn't identified the white dual cab at one point, but they'd identified all the other vehicles (including GL's). Later, they'd ruled out the involvement of all other vehicles, except GL's.

    Sometimes people are in danger from their ex if they are perceived as happy or moving on. To a controlling personality, it doesn't matter who initiated the split.
