This photo was taken much earlier than the focussed police search .
This was the SES doing a mass search at the Recreation Rd / Boundary Rd area late in the first search week.

Was there rubber tapes across the road? If so, I recall in the Sleba case, LE used that data to identify the type of vehicle, I think it was a multi wheel truck, time, speed etc. I’m sure LE could roughly work out the vehicle from wheel base length etc.
No I don’t think so , probably little need to monitor traffic on that road prior to her disappearance .

Yes , commonly also called pylons
Ballarat mayor calls for end to ‘hurtful’ gossip swirling around Samantha Murphy case
Ballarat’s mayor is pleading for an end to the rumours and speculation that has engulfed Ballarat in the wake of Samantha Murphy’s disappearance.Paraphrased
Cr Des Hudson, a former police officer, said locals needed to be better than adding to and helping spread the speculation.
Direct quotes from Cr Des Hudson....
“The different stories that have been swirling around, people adding to and people speculating, it would just be really hurtful for the family to hear some of those (rumours) at a time when they are obviously highly stressed, highly sensitive, highly emotional,”
“I would just like to implore people to put themselves in that position and think about what they would expect from our local community,”
Cr Hudson said it was easy for people to fire off “negativity” from behind a computer screen but they needed to consider the impact of their words.

The absolute SCREAM I just let out...! Oh, thank you, Victoria Police, for the countless hours you've put in that have led to this moment. Please let this be the first domino that's going to fall to bring her home and hold everyone else (if there is anyone else) accountable.

Such a traumatic time for them. I hope he gives up where Sam is VERY soon.
I don’t know how to link as I’m an idiot, however I just saw that a 22 year old man has been arrested over the disappearance of Samantha Murphy just now!! Is anyone able to advise on how to do this, I see the attach files button but when I press on it, it just wants to go to my photos?
