Gerard says he kept ringing because he thought she was more likely to hear the ringing of the phone than a text. #badenclay


Then there is a call from the home phone to Allison's mobile. Gerard thinks it was his daughters or his Dad at the house. #badenclay

Gerard continues to try to reach Allison 'again and again but I kept getting voicemail' #badenclay

Caroline Overington ‏@overingtonc 1m

He thought she was more likely to respond to a ringing phone than a text #badenclay

Gerard says he tried to call Allison again, probably said please call #badenclay

#badenclay "I was tending to call (Allison on 20/4/12) because I figured the phone ringing would...attract her attention." @7NewsBrisbane




Huh?

I don't know if this has been said before -- I haven't been here in a while -- but for me the biggest flaw in the suicide theory is the missing phone. Why would she go to such trouble to get rid of it? This is probably obvious to the rest of you, it just occurred to me! Carry on

He left voicemails saying 'please call' #badenclay

I suspect this text message he can't comment on is going to be relied on heavily for his defence and attempting to plant doubt ..and throw TM under the bus AGAIN.

10:35am: Mr Baden-Clay has broken down in the witness box telling the court of the first phone call he made to his wife's mobile on the morning he reported her missing.

"No response," he said, sobbing.

He removed his glasses and wiped tears from his eyes with a white handkerchief.

"Sorry," he said.

He took a sip of water, before apologising to the court again.

"I kept getting her voice mail," he said, sniffling.

When his dad arrived around 7am, Gerard says he went out in the Captiva looking for Allison #badenclay

#badenclay says when his dad arrived, he went out looking for Allison straight away on the 20th April 2012. @abcnews

The next call is from Gerard to his sister. He says they discussed what Allison would have been wearing. #badenclay

Next was a text to Allison, followed by Gerard calling the woman who was supposed to accompany Allison to the conference. #badenclay

He kept in touch with his sister, so they weren't 'doubling up' on the search area #badenclay

Exactly, and a suicide note.

Gerard says the next call was from him to his sister talking about whether it was too early to call police. #badenclay

 

[possumheart]

He could have called Ben Bassinthwaite, a police officer and ex employee (ex business partner!?) he knew personally. But perhaps Ben knew him too well for his comfort.

He's had two whole years to practise all this nonsense!!

Probably sat in front of a mirror rehearsing.

 

[drsleuth]

No calls to the Dickie's yet?? But many calls between the BC'S !:banghead:

 

[Aliwonders]

So why didn't he delete them then, unless he knew Allison wasn't going to have the opportunity to read them?

Or am I missing something?

I would think you can delete them from your phone log but not from the server which would still be available from the phone company. I am sure the police would have got the records form the phone company.

Gerard is crying as he describes calling the non-emergency police number. He hung up and called Triple-0. #badenclay

After that, Gerard called his sister to let her know he'd called police and was on the way home. #badenclay

Gerard is looking between a screen on the stand with phone records, and his defence barrister Michael Byrne #badenclay

 

[Radster]

I wonder the timing and content of this call? was it after he handed over his phone to Allison?...if he really did.

Yes, I have wondered about this too. What if, assuming that anything is possible and that this forum isn't just a lynch mob for GBC, that he gave her his phone, went to bed and then Toni called or texted and ABC intercepted this call. She realises with horror, after everything GBC has promised about repairing the marriage, about truth, after getting ABC back into the business, about moving forward, that he is still communicating with Toni (and therefore likely still shagging her), and tragically, in a fit of despair that is horrid to imagine, she takes a bunch of pills (and maybe a couple of stiff drinks) and wanders off into the night, walking, walking, thinking, crying, unaware of time and space, and then she either crawls under Kholo Creek bridge to die (many suiciders take their final sleep under a bridge) or she meets with foul play. The former is more likely given the lack of physical evidence. And on that score, the lack of physical evidence due to decomposition is what, in my opinion, has weakened the impact of the blood stains. Apart from a chipped tooth, there was no evidence of where blood might have escaped from (eg no obvious injuries). Just putting it out there as a possibility. MOO.

10:40am: Mr Baden-Clay continued to sob as he recalled dialling triple-0 to report his wife missing.

"I didn't think it was an emergency situation. I thought she was just missing," he said, through tears.

He paused to wipe tears from his eyes with a tissue and blow his nose.
