BBM. Savage advised the Coroner that he was seeking legal representation back in December at the Directions Hearing.
Wasn’t it said that all 21 houses on Benaroon Drive were searched from top to bottom three times? We didn’t see any vision of those searches and what, if anything, was taken from them.
I think there were a number of catalysts for the warrant being granted by a magistrate to search Spedding’s home and business and seize potential evidence. One, the complaint about historical child sexual abuse and two, the plumber’s report to Crimestoppers about the t-shirt he/she found stuck in the sewer pipe at Spedding’s residence. There may have been others, such as the FaCS’ investigation.

I would say that Spedding's alibi not stacking up would be very high on the reasons for the searches. IIRC the police did not know about some part(s?) of his alibi until much later - which is odd.
If Spedding's alibi was independently verifiable ... if anyone at all, other than Margaret, could say he was in the very public places he said that he was that morning ... his POI status would have been over. (Unless, of course, police have far more incriminating evidence that we yet know nothing about - CCTV, witness testimony, DNA, phone pings .... )
Yes, as far as we know, Savage has only been trying to retain a lawyer over the past several weeks. How long ago was his house searched, I wonder. 4½ years ago? Again since then? During the June 2018 searches of the area?
