I don't think it is unusual that BR took the shovel in the car when he set off to dispose of her body. Surely he had some kind of plan. Probably he planned to bury her body but found the ground too hard... if it is clay soil it would have been like trying to dig into rock.How do you think the shovel fits into things?
I can only find articles from after KR was found noting that a shovel had been taken...
"Testing revealed two distinct soil types: one matched soil behind the family home, leading police to begin their initial search along the Maribyrnong River; the other matched soil found in the Gisborne-Macedon area."
If the results of the testing led to the inital searches then the shovel must have been seized fairly early on - before the "shovel man" witness.
Also, im no soil expert and havent even paid attention in particular to the ground in any of these places, but i wouldn't be surprised if toolern vale soil is very different to mt Macedon. Toolern vale always looks so dry to me, where mt Macedon is much more lush looking. I think the soil on the shovel matches toolern vale/gisborne and was part of the reason they were searching that specific area in December. Did he bury her handbag maybe? I cant help but think if the shovel had mt Macedon dirt (not Macedon ranges region dirt) they would have been searching there much earlier.
Also there's been talk of KR being at a different location to where she was found. How does the childers Rd witness fit into that?

I don't think we have been told whether the soil on the shovel matched the specific site that Karen's body was found.... that would be fairly indicting for BR.
