Thanks for the link, so eerie to see those photos, so she would have returned home to collect the dog as clearly being around food and work she would not have been able to take it. Markets-->home--> beach. I wonder what her movements were at home and if someone had followed her there.

Not sure if she had one or used this one - it's her dogs

Would you be hesitant approaching a person with a dog this size and would you lay your hands on the person?
I’m thinking the murderer knew the dog.

unless they threatened to hurt the dog if she didnt tie it up, she may have tied it up to protet it?

I had a rescue dog and walked her using a head collar to train her to stop pulling:

Maybe Toyah was using something like that.

ETA: Snap tgy!

I had a 'naughty' little dog, and the dog haiti served two purposes: keep him from biting and to control his trying to pull ahead.

I imagine that the perp threatened to hurt the dog unless she tied it up, so being so loving and protective of animals she did, "shut that dog up" or "tie it up now or I'll..." Trying to calm the individual she probably decided to comply in the hope it would help.

This world stinks.

Well maybe only some of it is rotten to the core.

Maybe the perpetrator had pretended to be injured or requiring help..... she then may have tied her dog up, thinking she was coming to someone’s aide.

Police said the 24-year-old was at Rusty's Market in Cairns between midday and 1:00pm on Sunday, before she was seen leaving in a blue Mitsubishi Lancer.

She then returned home briefly and travelled towards the Northern Beaches about 1:30pm.

Police said the car was spotted travelling through Clifton Beach just before 2:00pm and again at the southern carpark of Wangetti Beach.

With this YouTube vid of Wangetti Beach Qld was posted 1 week ago. I notice there are no people that I could see.
You can also see the car park.

There are other YouTube vids of Wangetti and the only person I can see is the drone operator.
No-one there.
Looking at the shadows of the trees it appears to be around noon.

What a beautiful spot. It does look kind of isolated, but we live in such a busy world I can understand her going to this beach hoping to possibly allow her dog some off leash time. My brother has been here, he said at certain times of the year, heaps of people camp in the area.

Perched on a roadside spot just south of Wangetti, a series of Cairns (the rocks) have started appear. From dawn to dusk, cars are pulling over to marvel at the creations and take photos, which are starting to appear with increasing frequency on a variety of social media profiles from around the world.

No-one knows who started the trend at the site. But the cairns are proving so popular there is even talk on one social media channel of an international rock balancing competition, to be called Cairns in Cairns (of course).

The suggested grand prize? A golden rock, naturally.

Whatever happens with the proposed Cairns in Cairns international rock balancing competition, the site near Wangetti is already worth its wait in tourism promotion gold, as the photos below demonstrate.

I’m looking outside the box & wondering if there was road rage involved.

'WHOSE HANDS WILL BLOOD BE ON IF SOMEONE IS KILLED?’

A WANGETTI resident has called on local Government to ‘stand up and show some leadership ’ before someone is killed on the Captain Cook Highway.

Scores of tourists continue to congregate at a set of balancing stones between Port Douglas and Cairns, with erratic driving near the site regularly reported.

Detective Inspector Sonia Smith said police were keen to hear from members of a family who might have been having a picnic in the area.

"We have information there were two adults and two children and they left the beach area at about 1:20pm," she said.

"We are keen to speak to them to see what they saw."

"Is there anyone they know who has unexplained injuries, anyone who has movements that can't be accounted for last Sunday and anyone who can't have their clothing accounted for?"

Usually just a lurker, but this is just so sad. That poor girl. My two cents about the dog being tied up is that someone found it wandering on the beach and tied it up so it didn’t get lost or hurt.
