Me too bear.
It’ll come from around behind the court case.

Agree. I believe the next step hinges on the court case. And certainly if you believe the chatter on SM at the moment a lot of others are hanging their hat on it too.
The office of the NSW Attorney-General confirmed a deal was struck with Mr Atkins in November last year.
Under the deal, Mr Atkins was given indemnity specifically from prosecution for perjury and contempt of court on the evidence he gave at the inquest.
The deal is conditional on detectives actually finding Mr Leveson's remains. Put simply — no body, no deal.

Unless there is a deathbed confession I cant see this case ever being solved now.
Even if Williams body is found now, I dont think there is enough evidence to satisfy a jury.
This must be Jubelins most frustrating case knowing who did it but not able to prove it.
I believe it happened exactly as Jubelin described, not planned, took seconds, and maybe regretted minutes later.
Yes, next search radius is 20 km or 20 minutes drive from the point of abduction.
No doubt thats why there was such an extensive search off the Ghost Road, after the tip was received saying someone had seen a white van turn off into a bush track there. I think they also searched around Queens Lake.
And, of course, CASC Squad turned turned BS office at Laurieton and his home at Bonny Hills upside down. But that was after the plumbers tip about the boys t-shirt found blocking the sewerage pipe.
I dont know about a search at Dunbogan. Maybe someone could provide kiwi and I with a link please?
Remember this? I wonder if a version of this could happen in William's case ... after Spedding's current court cases. Perhaps in exchange for a lighter sentence in the current cases, if found guilty, and no further prosecution.
I can't see how that would work, or be offered, and I know would be completely unsatisfactory to the public. The premise for him being charged with whatever, for WT's disappearance would be based on what he has done to his previous victims historically and as far as we know a circumstancial evidence case. If he was able to give a body at a coronial inquiry after an immunity deal, he might be able to get away with saying he pulled up and ran WT over by accident, panicked and left the scene with him. Atkins could not be tried again due to double indemnity laws but he did get done on perjury. He was looking at 10 years and made up some BS about his partner oding. MOO

Also, if found guilty of the historical charges, as terrible as they are, will he not be sentenced in accordance with how he would be sentenced at the actual time of the crimes, substantially lessening a sentence if he did the same thing today?
I just keep thinking of Jubelin saying ... the worst is not finding a body, the worst is never finding a body.

Also, Spedding's vehicles were not impounded until 4 months after William's disappearance, when his properties were all searched. Perhaps because they needed reasonable cause to do that. Plenty of time for a good cleaning.
An initial search may have been authorised by the vehicle's owner, and that is when the police may have questioned a missing/broken car part.
During the raids on Speddings pawnbroking business, police took away items including *computers and a mattress. For two days they also searched his house at Bonny Hills, a short drive from Kendall, where they pumped out a septic tank and ferreted beneath the house. Three vehicles belonging to Spedding were taken away for forensic examination.

Hi all. just interested in your opinions about the stump found in the Middle Brother State Forest...last year. It might not interest anybody, but i'm so curious. It says "JESUS SAVES WILLIAM". I saw it myself. Geographically speaking it's within a curious radius - & then, also, it was some time later (like a delayed trophy signature). The police indicated it was a part of a geo-chacing-game - but the response by police was so immense, & the response from the geo-caching team was that it wasn't there - the week before. In other words - it was newish when found. MOO is the police think it's a clue of sorts... Opinions?
