CCTV released... looks like she was definitely walking with someone at the times of interest.

Thanks for the CCTV video! - It looks to me, at the very start of the video, that Alexis was walking on her own then this man appears to approach her shortly thereafter.

ETA - I was concentrating on Alexis and the man in the video and wasn't taking any notice of the vehicle but after reading some comments at link below I'm now wondering if it's connected somehow?.

Yes, the car definitely slows right down as it gets near her. But she and he walk off looking like a couple to me.

She lets him take her hand - doesn't pull away at all - and then doesn't pull away when he puts his arm around her waist. It looks like a couple who'd had an argument and then she stalked off, which is why she is alone at first, then he catches up and she lets him walk with her. MOO.

Surely locals - particularly the friends that were drinking with her that night - know who that guy is??

 

[enzeder]

That vehicle shows in the video even before Alexis appeared (you can see her shadow) - like it was waiting there for her?.

A man captured on security footage with murdered woman Alexis Jeffery may be the last person to see her alive, hours before the 24-year-old's body was found on a riverbank at the Queensland/NSW border.

The footage from the Royal Hotel in Goondiwindi shows the man approach Ms Jeffery from behind. The pair then walk together along the town's main thoroughfare, Marshall Street at 2.16am on March 16.

[...]

Investigators have declined to name the local man and said he has not been declared a suspect, only a person of interest. Police believe the man and Ms Jeffery were friends and not in a relationship.

Police have called for anyone who saw the pair between 2am and 3.30am on March 16 to come forward.

Acting Superintendent Dave Isherwood told Fairfax Media there were other persons of interest in the case whose stories hadn't been verified.

Thanks for that, enzeder :seeya:

So police know who that man is. That's good news, at least.

I trust that LE know exactly what they're doing - they've obviously identified quite a few different people who are of interest to them.

Please let this be solved quickly now!!lease:

 

[MsAnais]

So LE has revealed that they believe Alexis knew her killer. That's big.

Police released the footage today and detectives say they have spoken to the man in the footage, who at this stage is not considered a suspect..........

Acting Superintendent Isherwood said police did not believe the pair were dating at the time of Ms Jeffery's death, adding that police believed Ms Jeffery knew her killer.

"We think it was someone the victim knew. There's nothing to suggest at this time it was a random act," he said.

[MsAnais]

That car worries me......it definitely slowed to a crawl.

What if it was more than one person who was involved in her death??:facepalm:

 

[MsAnais]

Here's the guy's story:

The Acting Superintendent said the man told detectives he had walked with Ms Jeffery, before they amicably parted ways. However, that was not captured on camera.

"He's given us a version of events which can't be corroborated or uncorroborated," Acting Superintendent Isherwood told Fairfax Media.

"The CCTV footage proves what he's told us thus far. After that we've only got his version of events because the only other person who could tell us is no longer alive."

"Police investigating the suspicious death of a woman at Goondiwindi last month have released CCTV footage capturing the woman with a man in the hours leading up to her death."

[MsAnais]

Just watched that footage again - it looks like he comes from the car. The car does a kind of U-turn.....

Also, when she throws her arms up as he's walking behind her, that looks to me like they've had/are having an argument and she's saying something like "Just leave me alone." It's a dismissive gesture IMO.

I've made that gesture myself following arguments.:twocents:

 

[tarjessi]

I agree IsisRising...it looks like the guy comes from the car. It also looks like the car slows down to see if he catches up with her. I also agree that Alexis looks as if she is dismissing the guy. Interesting footage indeed...

 

[tarjessi]

I wonder if the car in the footage belongs to the friend? Maybe that is the point where he left thinking she was still talking to a friend and when he came back around she had walked off?

 

[tarjessi]

The CCTV seems to come from The Royal Hotel as seen here on Google Maps: https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-28...ata=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sF4H0tfuQakE2XpNd1KrM1g!2e0

which is not too far from where her body was found...

So the man in the video isn't a suspect, only a person of interest.
Well, I guess suspect is a tad stronger language that POI.

To me that CCTV looks like a prelude to a car abduction ... where a car crawls along next to a victim, someone jumps out and pulls the victim in, and the car takes off.

In fact, the way Alexis was walking off ahead of him and the way he caught up and put his arm around her, reminds me a lot of the CCTV images of Adrian Bayley and Jill Meagher outside the bridal boutique.

Completely agree, SouthAussie.

 

[AzPistonsGirl]

I don't think the guy takes her hand - more like trying to/guiding her by the wrist IMO. and he never really get his arm around her waist either - looks to me like he is trying to pat her butt, but doesn't really do that either. She looks upset IMO and he is trying to calm her perhaps... I have a theory and only just now read about this case. So so sad for this young women and her children.

Would love to hear more of your theory ... if you want to share it, of course.

Have looked at close-ups of the man in the CCTV footage. Although they are a bit blurry, it looks as if he has something white over the bottom part of his face, perhaps his t-shirt pulled up over it. And it looks like he has a backwards baseball cap on.

Having had a good look at the footage and comparing to Google Earth, she is actually walking quite purposefully towards the hotel entrance area (not to enter the hotel, but going past it). In other words, she didn't come out of the hotel, but had been somewhere else further up the road and was now walking past the hotel.

The car has pulled up in the parking bay and someone got out of the car as she was walking past. Given her demeanour (i.e. she's not frightened, not looking back, not taking notice of the car etc), I would surmise she knew the person who got out of the car.

A number of scenarios - maybe they either saw her totally randomly walking along the street and they wanted her to get into the car and go with them - either to give her a lift home, or go to a party or whatever.

Or, maybe she had been with them somewhere else and got into a disagreement, left early and they got in the car and went to find her, which if that's the case, they did.

She obviously didn't want a bar of whatever was on offer - whether a lift, or something else and kept walking.

The bloke who was walking with her (who by all accounts knew her) seemed somewhat familiar, trying to hold her hand, pat her arse, put his arm around her etc. She didn't show any positive response, but kept walking.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's more than meets the eye regarding the bloke ... maybe he tried it on and she wasn't interested ...
