Found Deceased Australia - Karen Ristevski, 47, Melbourne, Vic, 29 June 2016 - #1

In the state AR is in, I don't believe he could pull off a murder. If he had, there'd be a very obvious crime scene and a trail of evidence.

I can't quite settle on an answer to this 'revelation' yet. I'm in a bit of a quandary. I hate myself for thinking this but alibi or not?

Justification more likely.

It's been reported that AR is an Ice addict. While under the influence of Ice he would have been capable of anything IMO. There probably is a crime scene and a trail of evidence, it's just that the police weren't looking in that direction initially.

Justification more likely.

That too.

 

[Makara]

The article explains how AR' gf wanted him to confront his past, so to speak, he then called KR.

Yes, I read that. I dare say the police have now interviewed the ex-girlfriend about AR's story.

Not sure if im piecing this correctly. currently located in Diggers rest (with his kids and their mother), originally located in ascot vale with his ex.

well we know he didnt go to bed the night of 28 june. On 29 June the posts started all the way thru to 4am ish in the morning, then back again from 1:30pm ish.

"Mr Rickard, himself a father of two, came to the attention of missing persons detectives after being interviewed at Sunshine police station last week over an unrelated matter"
So does this been prior to 16 July thereabouts, he was never interviewed by detectives? That's strange.

I think we have to be careful looking at times on facebook posts because I pretty sure facebook converts them to local time of the user viewing the account. Eg: If someone makes a post in Melbourne at 9am, the date stamp of that post for FB user viewing that post in the USA will show the time locally. It all depends on what you have set as your timezone. It would be great if a Melbourne sleuther could please let us know the local time stamp when these posts were made.

ETA: Please ignore this if the times mentioned above were recorded by an AUS EST FB user

The times "moreinfo" posted are correct for our time zone here in Victoria

I'm prepared to make the call: the stepson is involved in the murder of the stepmother.

1) he confronts her about allegations of child molestation.
2) 10 days later she goes missing.
3) he is a self-avowed drug abuser.
4) his facebook is littered with revenge and hateful posts beginning on the day Karen went missing.

What more do you need?
He has either done this himself or arranged it with some friends.

This is absolutely unbelievable. The changes of Borce having murdered his wife are a fraction of one percent. This stepson is completely in the frame and that he is so brazen about these allegations means he thinks he can get away with it. It's looking like this case is going to be one for tv. I can't believe it.

I could be wrong; but just take a good look at the facts. UNBELIEVABLE!

Looks that way. If not; sad. If so; equally sad.

Remember the 'second site' which was mentioned? I wonder if it is connected with the facebook hero....

 

[Puggle]

Adrianna mentioned a few pages back some concern that Im inclined to agree with.

As all of us can be fragile at times. For anyone here in Australia...that may feel distressed...needing a little emotional help (we all do at some time)...Beyond Blue is a great organisation to get in contact with...

Their number is 1300 224 636

'I would have liked to': Man claiming to be stepson of missing Victoria mum denies killing her

Sadly, I think this whole family is going to be dragged through the mud before the week is over.

 

[ScottKam]

I now wonder if the Ristevskis were really arguing about money matters at all, or about these allegations, which resurfaced 10 days before Karen went missing, after her stepson contacted her about them. If this is the case, then it is simple, the stepson firmly is guilty. I wonder if she is dead or being kept somewhere, as a kind of ransom. This is shocking.

 

[eucalyptuz]

I am not sure the stepson is in the frame. I know many drug-user can act irrational but I think his initial fury on social media was sparked by Karen's portrayal in the media as a kind and generous woman with no enemies. I think he felt he needed to set the record straight according to his experiences.
Many of the posts speak of revenge etc but in the future sense not as confessionals. JMO

so im just thinking, was Karen (secretly) supporting his ice addictions in return for him to be quiet (if true or not), was the the $850 going to AR that day, did something happen that morning between them that fuelled something worse (sleep deprived and angry, maybe not the amount of money he was expecting)

I get the feeling that Karen might have met him; though, i think that might be incorrect. But it's a feeling i cannot shake. He must have been following her and kidnapped her. He or someone he knows. That is really the only plausible scenario. That she might have committed suicide over the allegations seems far fetched. Don't forget, we have only his side of the story, and i don't trust him, to be frank. I think he is definitely behind her disappearance, and i tend not to trust his allegations.

It seems like we have another ice-fuelled tragedy here. I am shocked, to be honest.

 

[Mrs G Norris]

I don't think he's involved and I don't believe his story about being abused by her, I think he's just a deluded junkie looking for attention and possibly a way to make some money out of this. It's possible him calling up caused some friction between her and her husband. Junkies lie and constantly play the victim.

He was busy today.

[Mrs G Norris]

Anthony Rickard, if you are reading this, you should tell the truth about what has happened to Karen. It's the only good thing to do, mate.

That ought to do it!!

I think in his mind he just did that when he spoke to police and the papers ...
