yes it's been a while since the last post in this thread....
i'm not out to change any ones mind, i'm just stating what i've seen and heard, while travelling around the outback.
Firstly i have been to the site of the murder?... and i don't believe for one second anyone could have hid successfully in the few bushes within 200m from the hwy... it's the sort of thing that, if you've seen the site, there's no question of it.
Secondly, i have spoken to those who at some point in the past, employed or worked with Murdoch and all have said yes, he is a strange bloke, don't get in his way, but he isn't Falconio's Murderer.
Thirdly the books about the case, sometimes go into detail about places like Broome, Fitzroy and Halls... and say how dodgy and scary these places are, well to put it bluntly it's crap, these writers wouldn't know what scary or dodgy is. I've worked in all the towns of the kimberleys and there is nothing dodgy about them, i admit, i don't like broome, but i say this because it's too commercialised and there's too many people around. So when i hear how scared the writer was, when visiting Broome, i can't help but laugh.
I guess if you are waiting for my opinion.... it's this, i'm on the fence, because i don't think there was enough evidence to convict for murder, however i believe anyone is capable of murder and Brad Murdoch, does fit the description that Lee's gave the police, however I don't believe her story either, there are some important bits of the story which changed from the first interview to the trial.
Lastly, I do believe Falconio was murdered, but I don't belive his body will ever be found. If it's true Murdoch did the deed and then disposed of the body along the Tanami Track, it will never be found.
To show how easy it would be to dispose of a body in the outback, take this one example, a mate once said to me.... you could chop someone into pieces and throw them down a chemical toilets at one of those rest stops along the hwy and no one would ever know.... |
