The police commander has specifically stated that they are not interested in any one else, in regard to this murder........ Him protecting someone else has no basis , according to police. .
Maybe at 22 he didn't factor in that no body, no parole and believes without a body he won't be found guilty.
If he said where the body was, that in itself would be an admission to murder. He is not about to do that. He seems too sure if getting off, in my opinion.
Yes and no. I'm not at all saying this is the case here, but there are many documented killer couples who will defend each other to the end, despite being evil through and through. Love does some crazy things. Far less likely to happen for just a mate or relative. IMHO
Totally agree with you. It's pretty hard to tell police where her body is, then try and plead not guilty later. His silence also buys the ability to plead not guilty at any point. His silence may also mean he's young and cocky enough to think he's above the law and will get off, and that there won't be enough evidence to get a conviction at trial. His silence may also be a bit of an F you, giving him the feeling of power or control of a situation that has gotten out of hand. All my opinions only.
True, but there's still the element of protection, showing some level of care for humanity. Just a chosen section of humanity, and not humanity in general.
I know about couples and all that, but specifically, him. No one has pointed to an accomplice, of any gender.
The accused may be protecting someone who had knowledge after the fact, or had possession of items belonging to Samantha. Nobody directly involved in the murder itself, but "accessories after the fact" or some other crime of that nature. Also, we don't know what the police know and don't know, so it's hard to speculate.
I just find it hard ascribing positive qualities to him, like protectiveness, when there is no demonstrable basis for that. Right now, he is accused of a crime that requires the qualities of a committed woman bashing
, and a very strong element of cowardice thrown in. I would bet good dollars he would not have tried out his killing skills on a bloke. He chose a woman, a generation older than he.There are too many numerous cases of murderers trying to protect an accomplice. It's just a thought. But I have stated before that the accused new Samantha by sight. Catholic primary school and local catholic church imo.
Very good question Trooper.
In the UK Maxine Carr gave her boyfriend Ian Huntley an alibi when he had killed two ten year old little girls. She was actually miles away with another man.
Yes, I know about Carr and Huntley, what I was asking was about him. Specifically. Why would he and what could he gain? ... Keeping in mind, the police commander has stated, clearly, and unambiguously, that there is no one else involved. .
I did not know that the accused knew Samantha by sight. Is your source for this reliable?? The police commander has stated there was no prior association. . Samantha's children went to, and still go to Ballarat Grammar, an Anglican organisation.
It indicates to me that 6 days ( Feb10th) after Samantha’s disappearance, the GF DIDN’T know of PS alleged activities on February 4th. Agree that GF post does give off that ‘relaxed just going about as usual vibe’.
unless if someone who might have helped him afterwards knows things, terrible secrets ps never wants anyone to know? and theyve threatened to tell?
not the OP but he might have meant this news tidbit which show a possible "crossing of paths" but no proven connection:
