My conspiracy is that Peter Falconio was actually murdered but Joanne Lees. She was "involved" with Breadly John Murdoch and somehow Peter found out so they killed him together.

i know this, and its not a joke. but there are too many inconsistancies with joannes story. if that bradley did murder him. y didnt he kill her? she said she hid. last time i checked there is not alot of place to hid in the outback

yes kilometers of nothing but bare earth. with a few shrubs, and if he wanted to kill her since she is the only eye witness to the crime dont u think he would of? not just left her???

Violent past of Bradley Murdoch

Murdoch served a jail sentence for shooting at a crowd of Aborigines
Bradley Murdoch was obsessed with guns and has claimed, on a number of occasions, that
police have tried to frame him for serious crimes.

Two years ago, the drugs runner was cleared of tying up and raping a 12-year-old girl and
abducting her "for insurance" because he was afraid that police were about to arrest him
for Peter Falconio's murder.

The South Australia District Court heard that Murdoch, 47, told the girl and her mother,
who thought he was their friend, that he was "on the run" because he had been framed.

He was found not guilty in November 2003 but the case has a number of striking
similarities with the Falconio case.

During the alleged ordeal, in Riverland, South Australia, it was claimed that he denied
killing Mr Falconio but admitted having one of his T-shirts, the court heard.

The prosecution in the earlier trial said Murdoch was obsessed with the disappearance of
Mr Falconio.

"He believed, for whatever reason, the police were after him for this well-publicised
murder trial," prosecution counsel Liesl Chapman said.

Article 'found'

Ms Chapman said Murdoch had put black cable ties around the mother and daughter's
wrists and that the girl's legs had been shackled.

The jury in the Falconio case heard that he had put black cable ties around Miss Lees'
wrists and that he had tried to put tape around her legs.

Murdoch was found guilty of murdering Peter Falconio

And in the earlier trial, the girl said her attacker had a white Toyota Landcruiser with a
dark canopy, as did Miss Lees.

When he was arrested in connection with the rape case, it is alleged that police found an
article about Mr Falconio in the room of a guest house where he had stayed.

Officers who made the arrest found a huge arsenal of weapons in Murdoch's van, including
a high-powered rifle with telescopic sight, a fully-loaded .38 Beretta semi-automatic
pistol, night-vision goggles, nearly 800 rounds of ammunition, a crossbow, an electric
cattle prod and chains and shackles like the ones used to bind Miss Lees' wrists.

The court heard he tried in vain to resist tests to analyse his DNA which eventually linked
him to the murder of Mr Falconio.

'Impulsive and irrational'

Murdoch had already served a 21 month jail sentence for shooting at a crowd of
Aboriginal football supporters in 1995 who he claimed were harassing him.

At South Australia District Court, Murdoch admitted firing the shots.

Psychologist Ross Smith reported that Murdoch was "in such a state that nothing was
going to tone him back".

He had an "impulsive and irrational way", she said.

Murdoch moved large amounts of cannabis around Australia, taking amphetamines as he
drove through the night.

He timed his journeys to arrive back in his home town of Broome, in Western Australia,
when police shifts were changing.

Described in court in the Falconio case as meticulous and obsessive, he changed his
appearance regularly in order to avoid the police.

behind bushes... yes could be true but put youe self in murdochs shoes. you have just killed a man the only eye witness is hiding in bushes... dont u think u would put a bit of effort into trying to find her who could put u behind bars? which has happened.

that is my biggest issue with the whole case. i wasnt in the jury so i dont know what was said there. but what i have heard just doesnt sit right.

So you want to be on all the juries, the 13th man, just so you wont personally be
unhappy with the result? If you want a real conspiracy to look into, look into
Harold Holt. I am convinced a dingo with a snorkel got him....

dude were u on the jury? were u there? do u know exactally what happened? y u flaming me for my thoughts?

I don't know what happened at so I am shy of drawing to conclusions. However, Joanne was shown to have lied to the police(and possibly to the court?).

She was caught out a number of times yet her testimony was excepted when she should have been struck off.

Also, why did the court ignore a man who claimed to have seen Peter Falconio after the date of being killed?

Not being in the court, it is hard to really know what happened. Not that courts are used for honest purposes anyway.

Regards to the falconio/lees case i have just finished reading a book called `Bloodstain` by Richard shears. The author goes to great lenghts to interview people associated with falconio/lees & murdoch.The book basically answers alot of questions and theorys i thought might of happened 5 years ago.
Joanne Lees story is full of contradiction and leaves many questions on her account of the shooting/murder of boyfriend peter falconio.My overall account was that the nt police and various other goverment depts exhausted there resources in trying to find falconio`s murderer.Murdoch was know to police and was around alice springs/barrow creek at the time on one of his drug smuggling runs.He was simplely fitted up by the police because they had no idea who actually commited the assualt against lees.As for falconio..after extensive searching for a body that was never found i doubt very much that there was a body in the first place.The guy has some how faked is own death..and what a place to do it,in the middle of nowhere with one witness.
I believe in years to come,maybe 10-20 years from now, mr falconio will turn up somewhere and an innocent man would have spent that time behind bars?????

I believe Joanne Lees is a victim and nothing more than that!
I cant believe that so many people on here can even begin to question if Murdoch is an innocent man. I doubt it very much he is nothing more than i low life rapist and murderer who has been found guilty.
DNA matched. He did it. joanne is an innocent victim who has wrongly been accused of being involved in the death of the man that she loved and intended to spend her whole life with,

Many people are now asking why she has wrote a book and have accused her of cashing in on Peter.
I believe she has wrote her side of the story to set it straight to stop people looking at her and doubting what happened because of the media attention that she recieved.
To set the record straight, to tell it how it really was.
