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

[BreakingNews]

It just occurred to me. Seem like it was only the family who searched for her. Police only became involved after she was discovered. So we're police really told she was missing? If they were a local police might have driven there to see if her car at there, then organise search, usually with SES workers to start search at first light. This did not seem to happen. Either police weren't told she was missing or they werent taking it seriously, or were waiting for formal report or something. Police withholding much information. Eg when were they notified? Was she sexually assaulted? What was cause of death? Was she found naked. Missing clothes? Family dynamics at funeral is also cause for concern. Zoomed in image of arm scratch not tattooed. Is the striped top worn by lady at funeral similar to recent profile of Toyah with 2 other females?
I think maybe we will see an arrest very soon. Trust that police are doing their job.

My understanding is they breed snakes. Also according to this article:
Parents found victim's body and her dog on north Queensland beach
Mr Gardiner said he was in Papua New Guinea when Ms Cordingley disappeared and was found dead.
I have to assume LE have confirmed that.

It just seems weird that the search was all about the family searching, little about the police searching except for this msm snippet. Police usually protect the family from searching for someone missing in suspicious circumstances. Or at least keep them under close watch.
My son once went with police to show them a track they didn't know about in the search for a missing boy. I made it very clear to the police that they were not to allow my son anywhere near a body. My son pointed out a fork in the track and told the police that one went further into the bush, the other came out beside the boys house. Thankfully the cops videoed the fork in the track, took my son out and next day returned to explored the other track which led to the boys body. He had been missing for 3 months and had committed suicide just 300 metres from his home, but cops kept looking in wrong area. And before anyone questions why I allowed my son to do this, he was 15 and knew the area well, as did any kid in the area, and he did parkour so could easily cross the gullies of mud and water.

From Memory - she was reported missing about 11pm on the Sunday.

I don't think you could expect Police to start a search until some investigation had been done. I don't think Police are at fault here, unless when she was reported missing, there was something said about her being in trouble - like a stalker or something.

Toyah was found, by her parents, at about 7.30am the next day. IMO they knew something more troubling than her just being missing.

 

[they'll get you]

She sounded like a good kid telling people her whereabouts. It’s something a good parent instills in their child.
Only when someone is reliable and responsible to be somewhere when they say they will IMO that’s why she was found so quickly by her parents. She must have said where she was going and that’s where she was found.
Dammit it’s just too sad for words.

 

[bearbear]

did she live with one of her parents, or boyfriend or alone?
i still dont understand why her loved ones didnt take a drive to the beach looking for her that evening?
not that it matters now, but she may have been alive for awhile afterwards, so sad

could be referring to this? does dg belong to a motorcycle club?

Doesn't matter if he does or doesn't - we aren't allowed to sleuth family.

 

[bearbear]

not sleuthing family just assuming that was why the reference to that law

I didn't mean to imply police were at fault. Sorry if it sounded like that. But odd that they would have started their search at first light, but family found her at 7.45am. still seems odd to me that police weren't with the dad when she was found. Police don't like that sort of help to protect the family. Police do a great job and they will be working tirelessly on this.

Wow, what an unfortunate thing. It's good that your son was able to help - i hope it wasn't traumatic for him (just knowing they did find a body). Kudos to your son

Also, do police in australia go out & automatically look for missing adults, in the first 24hrs? I know in america they don't - but i don't know about OZ... does anyone know? MOO

That is very sad. Maybe the parents hoped for the best & thought there was a mix up with her plans? Told themselves she is hopefully with a friend/bf. Then went out early in the morn to search because they hadn't been able tog et a hold of her. MOO - just one possibility.

It's concerning to hear there might have been a stalker...? did i read that right? MOO

My understanding is that police do start looking asap for missing adults. It used to be wait for 24 hours, but not anymore.
My son was fine. He loved showing off his parkour skills and ventured our clean and dry. Unlike the police who accomplish him. Was sad for the young boy though.

yes, v sad

Actually I think police prioritise cases, based on risk. I assume this means the level & timing of police response depends on the level of risk - of the missing adult. There's some info in the link.

Maybe Toyah was considered medium or low risk?
