Paddy's house is up for auction

Auction.....really?

This is stupid and kinda cruel. I guess ever since Lost in Larrimah came out the house has become sort of attraction. People need to remember that Paddy and Kellie were real people who didn't deserve what happened to them.

Apparently, A Current Affair tonight is going to have a piece about Paddy and the sale of his property.

There is now an online real estate listing about the property. realestate.com.au

And the realtors have put together a little video about the property, because the auction is on 7th May and they will be accepting bids from people who don't want to travel to Larrimah for the auction.

.
No price guide ... they are under strict instructions from the Public Trustee to sell Paddy's place for market value. I guess meaning that whatever a top bidder will pay is what they'll take.

(As per ACA on Ch9 just now)

I think Paddy had a 'wife' and child in a different remote community. The book looked into that a bit.
Perhaps the Public Trustee is settling Paddy's affairs and they will be the beneficiaries.

Surprised it even fetched that much TBH. Perhaps the buyer just sees it as some kind of novelty visiting there occasionally?

Ouch. Probably means we won’t see charges unless they find a body - and even then that might not be enough to link it to the murderer.
Doubt we’ll see a confession. Not sure what other evidence there could be remaining that hasn’t turned up so far.
Just imo.

Paddy Moriarty case enters grim new phase as an outback murder mystery that may never be solved

In the Australian outback, mysteries have a way of shifting and distorting — and none more so than the enduring saga of a Larrimah man and his kelpie who never returned to the pub.

Why Paddy Moriarty's disappearance from the tiny town of Larrimah may never be fully solved​

Sounds like someone is going to get away with murdering both Paddy and his dog.


"In my opinion Paddy was killed in the context of and likely due to the ongoing feud he had with his nearest neighbours," the coroner's 2022 findings read.

In the coronial inquest, which was split into two halves in 2018 and 2022, police played audio which detectives alleged was of Mr Laurie, singing of how he "killerated" Mr Moriarty with a claw hammer.

Mr Laurie denied it was him singing on the secretly recorded tapes.

 

[Tintenbar]

What has always made the Moriarty case vastly more mysterious than others is not just that the man went missing, but that he hardly seemed to exist to begin with – a man with no real family, no real ties to the earth except his dog, Kellie, and his tumbledown home along the Stuart Highway. No trace.

[Kemug]

So that's probably the end of the story - RIP Paddy and Kellie.

 

[lonewanderer]

I think a combination of the suspects conspired to kill Paddy.

The same thing happened with Rex McElroy and Bobby Kent.

Massive troublemakers and bullies. Rex was killed in front of the entire town (almost quite literally) and no one admitting to seeing a thing.

Bobby was killed by his friend that he bullied relentlessly, with help from Bobby’s girlfriend who also hated him.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

I'm never giving up hope that some evidence will turn up one day.
Either remains, or from someone who knows something about what happened.
