Could this be the post van outside the Kendall Post office?

Is that the AustPost sign on the back?

Is the postie now a POI or suspect too? Haven't heard that one before.

Ya have now!
It's called sleuthing in case you didn't know.

Yes and where were YOU on 12th September 2014 HUH?

Or because of the sound of the postie's vehicle?
Is it normal in those "smaller" towns that posties drive cars instead of motorcycles?
IMO

Most definitely, especially in rural areas like around the Beneroon area.

Certainly resembles an AustPost sign on the back. Pic is from 2010. Possibly still the same kind of postie vehicle used in 2014, if the contract is a long-term one or is renewed.

I think it could be likely that the vehicle could be a 4WD, either way - depending on how big the postie's delivery area is. I have noticed in my Google walks in that area that some of the houses around there are positioned off well-worn dirt roads.

Yes, the point I was making was the resident hearing the postie sound - whether it was actually postie or a sound just like postie - was it around the time that postie usually shows up, or not?

When we researched this before we found that rural posties can use many different types of vehicles. If AusPost contracts the services out, it could be a 4WD, a van, a car - whatever suits the purpose, because it will be a privately owned vehicle.
Could it be periodic stopping and starting that made a vehicle sound like a postie?

Perfect & typical little 4x4 for the job.

God this case is baffling. Jubes is in trouble for recording a conversation with PS (ridiculous that Jubes has to go to court. I would've thought at most he'd be sacked.)

Was he expecting PS to say something incriminating? Either incriminating himself or someone else?

All that time spent on PS at the inquest, then suddenly it jumps to FA. Is there a connection between PS and FA, I wonder?

This bugs me too. Who is this neighbour "across the road" that the FGM referred to? How was he cleared so quickly?

Tyrrell's foster nan named neighbour

"I suggested (a neighbour) across the road (as he keeps odd hours and lives alone).

"Wendy assures me that she has checked him out thoroughly."

The neighbour was investigated and ruled out as a suspect, according to police sources.

Living in a small town today I know around the time when my postie is delivering around my street.
My mail box is to the side of my driveway not directly a few meter from my door like my neighbours mail boxes. But you can hear it as the motor stops and starts, squeak of the brakes not a flowing motor of a car or motor bike, a sound of a clang as the letter box lid is lifted and banged down.
I often know when my mail has been put in, by the sound.
(Postie has said if I moved my Letter Box to where everyone has theirs, he would be most delighted,all his Christmas have come at once)
I don't know about Kendall but some posties still blow a whistle in some Australian towns.
I remember my Grandparents living in a small country Australian Town after they retire, it made their day listening for the Postie , they were like Kids wondering what has been dropped into their letter box , has their order finally arrived, letters from friends /family etc.
As you collected the mail for them they would yell "what have we got".
(I am not get started about the newspapers they collected/ had delivered their place in such a small town where everyone knew each other)
Funny as now I am home more often I listen out for the Postie as it is a link to the outside world.

Do you have any more evidence to support this theory that we haven’t heard or seen??? Or inside info??

AFAIK .... we only have heard of the possible Postie on Benaroon Drive and Laurel Street??
Did they ask Mr Chapman if his plants were eventually delivered that day and what time???

And the Postie submitting the times for rounds that day to the coroner at first inquest ....

Totally NOT discounting your theory... just wondering if you have more information to support the theory as would love to hear more on this .....

Great to hear your thoughts, Shadow. :)

I think it is very possible that police have used postie for witness info. I think most posties probably get to (loosely) know the people on their regular route. If Mr/Mrs/Ms lives in the house, if children are often playing there, if a new car is parked in the driveway, if a different car/van/4WD is on the street, if a little boy in a red Spiderman suit is seen talking to a person, if a neighbour is outside kissing his wife goodbye as she took off in her car ....

Once police heard that the Crabb's both heard a 'car' that sounded like postie doing a u-turn before it took off, they likely would have contacted postie for whatever info he/she could provide. They may have even contacted postie prior to that, if FGM had told them during initial questioning what time postie usually did the rounds on Benaroon Drive - or to see if postie saw/heard anything unusual on any part of postie's round that day.

Of course, postie's testimony would need to be protected, as postie is a sitting duck out there delivering post all by themselves.


The couple both heard a car on Benaroon Drive that Friday before they were told about the missing boy, which they say did a U-turn before it drove off but sounded exactly like the postman.
Desperate search for William captured

I saw your post before you deleted, hope you don't mind me mentioning that yes ... I think we are trying to establish what kind of vehicle postie has/had, to see if it matches up with any (other person's ) vehicle that might have been sighted in the area that morning.

My above post is just looking at it from another kind of angle. All angles being brainstormed. :)
