He later dropped his three daughters off at a Kenmore park with their grandparents, Geoff and Priscilla Dickie, before driving with his parents to meet with police at 12.45pm

Yes I Def know its not this woman, but really even if it was this lady or even the correct person its a bit harsh mentioning a name. having an affair is one thing but to be mentioned in forums such as this under these circumstances is taking things a bit far I would have thought. A bit of sensitivity I would think is necessary.

Willough - Agreed! You would just want to grab those 3 little girls of your daughters and hug them and not let them go. I guess being the father he still has right of way...for the time being.
But to answer your query, in last nights news report they stated that GBC and his father (isn't he a strange one too) dropped the 3 girls off to Allisons parents at a park somewhere..while he was at indooro police station i believe..

Oh yes as for the politicians visiting GBC and family...bad taste given what info was floating around. Just don't think its their job to do this. surely his $5,000 donation or whatever minimal amount it may have been doesn't justify a visit under these cloudy circumstances..

I'm sure if the husband is charged they will spin it and say they were to support the children and tell Gerald to tell the police all he knows. Yes, cynical again but it's hard not to be with pollies.

Totally agreed, it was in bad taste. Politics - no place for it in the present circumstances. Look like opportunistic vultures.

Also something in poor taste - last week, think it was thurs, C21 put a brand spanking new add on t.v just before the 5pm news on Ch 10.

It looked like they were trying to capitalise on the publicity. They could easily have pulled the add. It was so inappropriate. I rang them in protest - no apologies just excuses about the ad being pre-programmed. Pull the other one. Haven't seen the ad since.

if he is charged then if I know pollies like I know pollies they will go to ground and you won't hear a thing from any of them "no comment on this thank you, let the judicial system do its job"
same old rubbish basicallly....
an utter insult to A's parents that they visited GBC and family in the first instance. Surely these people don't have their heads that much in the sand that they couldnt see that there was a decent amount of speculation mounting and circling his 'story'
They should have been down at the showgrounds visiting A's parents and family.

Were locals told not to search the area she was found or is it a remote area? I just don't understand why the police don't apply some pressure to see if he will crack, people have been suspects with far less circumstancial evidence in the past, I don't understand this?

Nope, we weren't told to look. It's not a remote area. It's quite a busy road and I travel over it most days - it leads towards Moggill Road. It actually flooded in Jan 2011 and went up to 18 metres. (a boat was needed to cross it)

Perhaps he did have the body in a different situation but with all the water we had the late last week it moved.

I was going to have a look at this area this morning but I had my four year old in the car and couldn't leave her up there.

Finally got a chance to sit and listen to the press conference....

I love how he goes on about how her parents were there, day in, day out. Good on you constable! Good for acknowledging that.

Def keeping a few things close without giving too much info.... of course by saying "Can't comment" - obviously Gerard is a suspect. I think they are close to cracking it IMO

I'm not going to speculate because i wasn't there and also on the QLD police facebook page they are deleting posts and banning people from the page because of their comments. But in the news report i just read i'm starting to think that her husband may not have been involved.As Supt Ainsworth said he could not comment on whether Mr Baden-Clay was a suspect, and said "numerous" people of interest had been interviewed. If numerous people of interest have been interviewed i would say something big happened. I put what i thought may have happened on the police page and my comment got deleted. All i said was that they probably had a fight and she took off and probably got picked up by someone. I know when my ex and i argued i would take off sometimes for a few days.

If it was was Gerard who actually did this (assuming that he didn't employ someone to do it for him), it gives one the absolute creeps......to think that a son from such a 'normal/nice' family could actually kill Allison, and then handle her body and dump her where he hoped that she wouldn't be found....to save his own skin. Hard to imagine that we would all be capable of doing this.....to save our own selves from going to jail. IF he was involved, then he may have asked someone else to do it for him!

Very difficult to imagine that we would all be capable of doing this.....to save our own selves from going to jail. IF he was involved, then it may be that he requested someone else to do it for him, thereby feeling like he would be 'keeping his hands clean'.

 

[alicat]

Give it a day, two at max and I think we will know.

1) He'll confess, or
2) They'll nab him and I think he'll say it was an accident and he didn't know what to do and panicked.

"Normal/Nice?" To be honest.....If I had a daughter in law that was missing....I could not imagine myself having a tongue kiss with my husband in front of the cameras as though I was in some teenage heartthrob movie. Almost showing the world, "business as usual" is going on.

To me that shows highly abnormal people......and not nice to do in lieu of what is going on....Uncaring and immature.

 

[Couldbe]

Sorry a glitch at the time of submitting my post must have caused two posts.

I think that everyone who saw the Parents kissing like that were shocked..couldn't help thinking that they must have had 'a drink or two'.

That's one of the strangest theories mentioned so far. Who would arrange a murder and have the body dumped down the road from their house and leave such a mess behind with himself being the last person to see her? I think the facts will put an end to any speculation this was a complicated or planned event.

Ps but I agree, I'll have nightmares about the granny kiss for months

lol...Any longer and we may have had a bonnet display....(joking)

 

[willough]

I wanted to write yesterday that I would have nightmares about that kiss too. But I stopped short at posting concerned that people would think I was against 'oldies having a pash'.....I dont mind anyone having a pash.....but that sort of display is left for private....and the older one is, the more they should understand that....so they should have known better...lol

Detectives are appealing for anyone who lives near the Tyamolum Scout Camp, Kholo Creek Bridge, Mt Crosby Road or Bunya Street, Anstead to contact police if they saw or heard anything between 8.00pm Thursday April 19 and 7.30am Friday April 20.

They are now asking for info from 8pm.

I agree - the exibitionist tonguie (sp?) was really odd and inapropriate.

It's very unusual for a mature couple who have been sharing a bed for over 40 yrs to be so uncontrollably aroused that they must have a virtually public tonguie.

 

[crissyz]

What are your thoughts on where the body was horribly 'dumped' ? Do you think that perhaps it has travelled down the river, or left at Mt Crosby/Anstead?

I just can't believe that she would have gone out for a walk after 10pm (after watching the footy show)... surely he would have known she didn't come to bed after the show finished..... Unless they did have a fight, she left upset, and possibly someone has abducted her?

I think know with the body having been found, the police can focus purely on the investigation.

Uh, just makes me feel sick. I can't imagine what her parents must be going through right now, my heart is aching for them

They where asking for sightings of the cars from 8pm the other day so that is not a new thing.
