GUILTY Australia - Toyah Cordingley, 24, body found on beach, 22 October 2018 #3

I think you misunderstood my post. Police released cctv footage before a suspect was named. We watched it over and over to see if we could find something relevant and opened discussion. It was a specific footage.

I wasn’t actually linking my traffic camera info to your post. I was just sharing information about the traffic cameras that I found online.

Your post reminded me of the night we watched a roundabout on here along time ago ( Baden-Clay case )

Meanwhile, the court also heard DNA samples taken from underneath Ms Cordingley’s fingernails, logs and a stick in the area where she was killed were compared with DNA taken from Mr Singh.


A partial profile on the stick showed a probability that Mr Singh was 3.7 billion times more likely than others to have contributed to that DNA, prosecutors said.

I agree, I assume this is a police officer walking her out, holding her hand. I hope she has some family here n Australia?

So what is likely to be Singh’s dna is found on the stick - but the DNA under her nails is definitively not his, and the dna on a nearby log (?) and the dog lead provide nothing pointing to Singh.

So the stick is presumably not the murder weapon it was just buried in the sand around her.
In addition to that, you’d expect there to be some transfer of dna or blood from Toyah inside his car or clothes given the nature of her injuries, maybe he jumped in the sea and washed off?
Wonder if his clothes were found washed at home or still salty/sandy/(bloody) from his beach visit?

The boyfriend’s clothes were found though, interestingly
“A video of Mr Heidenreich’s journey to Port Douglas that same day was also played to the jury, which showed he was wearing the same t-shirt from early afternoon until the next day, when police obtained it from him for analysis.
Sergeant Webster said several small blood spots were found on Mr Heidenreich’s t-shirt, with a small fingernail sized mark on the front neck part of the shirt, and three spots on the inside back of the shirt. No evidence has been given about whose blood is belongs to.
She said no blood was detected on his shorts or underpants.”

I had to look into this picture and see who was so kindly supporting Singh’s poor wife, and it is as you thought DrSleuth, a Detective who must be a gorgeous person to take her hand and support her. What a lovely, lovely gentleman.

His name is Detective Sergeant Gary Hall. What a guy!!!!

“No evidence has been given about whose blood this belongs to.” I think this needs to be told! Who owns the blood on his clothing???

'Gap in the data': Telstra expert provides analysis of Toyah's phone​

“The prosecution has called Telstra security data analyst Mark Borg to give evidence.

Mr Borg told the court at the time of Ms Cordingley’s death in 2018, part of his role was working with law enforcement to provide and interpret phone data records.

He said the best connection for a mobile phone was not always to the closest tower.

Mr Borg told the court he was tasked with providing data from Ms Cordingley’s phone, which detailed connections made by her handset to mobile towers around Cairns on October 21.


Towers were split into sectors facing different directions which each picked up a “slice of the pie” to provide 360 degree coverage, he told the court.

Mr Borg said the sectors used for each connection within the data he provided, were identified.

This can be used to help ascertain the direction of a connection, the court heard.

Mr Borg explained data he provided also included “timing advance data” – a recording of distance that is measured in increments or bands of 78m.

Connections could switch between towers depending on which one provided the strongest signal at the time of the connection, he said.

A document containing data recorded by Ms Cordingley’s handset was tendered by the prosecution.

It outlined connections from Cairns City through towers on the way to the Cairns northern beaches, and towers covering the area of Wangetti Beach including towers 28km away in Port Douglas.

Mr Borg said there was a “gap in the data” between 2.07pm and 3.49pm, which he said could be put down to minimal usage.

The data then captures connections at 4.51pm, 5.08pm, and 5.17pm at Buchan Point, then Saddle Mountain near Kewarra Beach, and finally Smithfield on a path southward, the court heard.

Mr Borg said there were no records after 5.17pm, which he said could be due to the phone being turned off or running out of battery.

He said if the phone was turned on and working he would expect records to continue.”

Looks like the accused left Wangetti beach just before 5pm. Drove past the Clifton Beach BP (as caught on cctv) around 5pm and reached Lake Placid by 5.15pm. From memory there was a report of him (with visible scratch marks) being seen tossing things into Lake Placid? Activity on Toyah’s phone stopped at 5.17pm which aligns with the cctv capturing his car arriving in the Lake Placid area. I bet he threw her phone in that lake (hence no recorded activity after 5.17pm) and then continued south to his home in Innisfail.

Whose DNA was under her nails?

Not sure about the DNA under the fingernails yet, but Singh was seen (around Caravonica or Lake Placid) with scratch marks on him allegedly.
Is that “stick” that’s mentioned a stick stick or a selfie stick? Toyah had a selfie stick with her didn’t she? Why would some of her stuff remain at the scene and other stuff be carried and driven away?

“No evidence has been given about whose blood this belongs to.” I think this needs to be told! Who owns the blood on his clothing???

It will come out in court in due course.

Do you have a link stating that the DNA under Toyah's fingernails is NOT Singh's. I don't believe it has been identified in the trial yet. It will be raised in good time.

A male DNA sample 2000 times more likely to be from Singh than a random man was found on Cordingley’s fingernails.

Jury visits Wangetti Beach accompanied by police, judge​

“The jury has visited Wangetti Beach, 40km north of Cairns, to view the site where Toyah Cordingley’s body was found. Picture: Brendan Radke.”

“The jury in the trial of Rajwinder Singh, 40, visited Wangetti Beach this morning.

The jury, including three reserve jurors, were accompanied by police, the presiding judge Justice James Henry, and the Crown and defence legal teams, where they walked along the beach between the southern and northern carparks, about 4km.

Along the way, they inspected the southern carpark, where Toyah’s car was parked on the day she died, the location along the beach where her dog Indie was found, and the location where her body was found.

They also stopped at two creeks along the way, which were searched by the police during the investigation.

Mr Singh did not attend.”
