according to the bank withdrawals' on Karlies account, Holdom, almost immediately upon murdering Karlie, shouts himself quite a long tour around Australia in the hottest months, too..
The police say, with a fair amount of determination, that Karlie was murdered 15/12/2008
Cash out of her account, on the 16/12 and the 19th, at Charnwood and Deakin ACT..
then he leaves Canberra because on the 22nd he and the card are in Broadview, SA. The card stays there with the holder of it, I presume ,until the 6th January. A Xmas break in Broadview, then off again, on the 6th of Jan, 2009.. now this is the long haul to Alice Springs.. stop for a fillup on Karlie's card at Coober Pedy , SA on the 6/1/09, then on to Alice arriving at least on the 7th , use Karlies card in Alice, then on the 10th of January back in Broadview, using the card again.
Some mileage figures... Deakin ACT to Broadview SA = 1172.1
Broadview to Coober Pedy....= 840.6
Coober Pedy to Alice Springs = 688.2
Alice Springs to Broadview = 1526.5
and then the trip back to Canberra......................... =1172.1
All up, that's 5398.3 klms... of those, 3052.0 klms were done in 3 days.
I don't think it's possible that he had Khandalyce with him on that journey. (a) he would have been very noticeable, a young man travelling alone with a small child, .. (b) I don't think he could keep up the speed for that distance without stopping a lot and attending to a baby. Not saying it couldn't happen, but it would have been difficult in spades. I recall that mad man from WA who snatched his little son and drove clear across to Coober Pedy, so it can be done, I guess... but he stopped at places for quite a while along the way.
This time schedule doesn't allow any stopping time at all. Not even nap times. Has anyone done anything like this distance in this time frame?? I haven't. I've taken days to do it, clear across the USA, but that took me 3 weeks.... I have never been able to cope with corn since then. It once took me 17 hours from Melbourne to Brisbane, but that was in a top notch car and two drivers.
I wonder if he hired a vehicle again for this journey in summer. Hard driving in that weather on both car and driver. I don't see how he could have of his own, a late model highpowered car..
Maybe Khandalyce was dropped off at whomsoever's at Broadview, and picked up on the way back. Who? why? Who lives, or lived at Broadview, or Enfield, or Prospect or around there?
