Maybe the 10am wasn’t mentioned for strategic purposes?
By the top she was wearing, it doesn't look like a running top, hard to see the bottom attire properly

Her aunt and uncle confirmed this 10am meet and it was known to them SM was planning to meet someone at 10am in Ballarat, otherwise why would they mention this information to the media.
I don’t think she met with foul play at 10am as no one saw her come home after run.
I think something happened to her earlier that morning, whether it was in the forest or beforehand who knows ?
And we still have not been told who else was in the house that morning ?

The police said she was wearing leggings. Maybe she ran in clothes she felt comfortable in rather than sports wear

To me, it looks like the quiet before the storm.
I think the police are on a good lead

Does it mention which family member had the AVO ?
No …. The sequence of the article is how I have paraphrased it ….

Does anyone know who if Kellie Murphy is Sam's sister or daughter or sister in law?
RSBM
Shouldn't think Kellie Murphy would be Sam's sister, as Sam was born a Robson, right?

The mercury soared past 36 degrees in Ballarat that Sunday, she disappeared. Very hot for a supposedly run as well

Paraphrased from a new article in the Herald Sun


Dozens of rumours swirl in Ballarat, from matrimonial distress to financial hardship, and an affair …

There has been talk of a recent suicide in the Murphy wider circle.


This one could be important to the case ????? - an AVO had been taken out on an extended family member.

And suggestions that a recent family holiday to Torquay had been “fragmented” .
Mmm, all very interesting, even if only a tiny bit of it is true.

Apprehended Violence Order ….
thanks
looked it up : "An AVO or Apprehended Domestic/Personal Violence Order is an order from Police and/or the courts prohibiting certain behaviour with the aim of to protecting the Person in Need of Protection (PINOP)."
Much like a Restraining Order (RO) in the US.
Oh dear.....

Yes .. that is why I wondered if it may be pertinent to the case?

IMO

Paywalled for some
The suicide . . . I don't need to know who, but I would like to have been told how recently.

May I ask what an AVO is?
Apprehensive Violence Order. Usually taken out in domestic violent situations telling someone to stay away from someone else

Check that article again. I think everything you have paraphrased has now been removed?
Other than the fact that there are dozens of rumours swirling.

Given the nature of their panel-beater business, I’m guessing that family members have access to many cars even if they don’t own them themselves. So I’m sure that police would have to consider the possibility that a car not belonging to the family could have been used without that car having to have been registered as owned by the family or reported to the police as stolen, if that makes sense..
Most car repair businesses have courtesy cars. Some even have designated hire cars that are covered by customer insurance.
