Same room I believe, just changed set up from time to time.
Video here of room
Last shot in that 13s vid has a pink lidded water bottle on the table next to the bed.

They are white material.Are those restraints on the bedhead or am I seeing things and need to log off?
Just as the accused followed and commented on social media pages dedicated to missing children, I wonder if another wannabe child stealer is reading, or maybe even posting in this thread? What a terrifying and sobering thought..
Do you think that the police would be keeping tabs on these types of forums and be profiling comments for such purposes? It makes sense, but not sure they would have the resources.
I'm assuming this is his video. I can see what looks like a longish dark curtain or fabric in the top right frame towards the end. Also, not sure I like whatever that is tied onto the frame of the bedhead.
I threw some backlight on it.

Who's playing Mark McGowan in the Hollywood blockbuster film?
I see Ellie Smith made her Instagram and Facebook pages private now. Everyone should do it.
Has anyone else gone down the rabbit hole of looking at all the reactions (likes, etc) from others on the accused's FB posts, weeded out the fake FB account reactions, and then looked into the real people who've been liking and reacting to their posts? I have. Some interesting types. Overseas mainly.
and he has a Facebook account under an assumed identity and posted a photo of a very very badly beaten up indigenous lady in a group of photos he used as a profile picture.
Note the photoshopping of the pic of the man in the ambulance - in the original an officer was holding up a blanket almost completely hiding the man in the bed. Now he is quite visible and has a Big White Bandage.
Shoddy but typical "journalism".
Even if the charges are dropped or no conviction is recorded?
Havent heard of DNA being taken for traffic offenses.
Eww! No thanks! Let Perth deal with him. Besides, he’s gonna need to be in segregation cos it was a crime against a child and I dunno if Greenough has a full time seg wing? And going on his aggro behaviour I’d imagine he’d be in a max security, not li’l ole Gero.Greenough prison outside Geraldton would make sense.
Terrific work in here KurveThis should be real interesting and might give some tips on how to keep our thread running smoothly and within the legal boundaries so I'll check in.
Cleo case a legal minefield - here's what you need to know
Great post, I feel the same.I'm just focusing on the bright side. Cleo was found alive, seemingly unharmed, and back with her mother and step-father. I've had little experience with 4 year old girls, except for when my niece was that age, but Cleo appears to be a remarkable young girl. To be separated from her mother for 18 days and come up smiling is incredible.
It's not good that it happened, even though it was a good result. A chilling reminder for young parents to be eternally vigilant when it comes to the protection and safety of their children. There's too many creeps out there.
On the plus, it has felt like nothing but doom and gloom of late, every day it's Covid, vaccinations, climate change, etc, etc. Australians really needed a good news story like this, fantastic it has turned out like this. So many child abduction cases over the years have not turn out so well, beginning with the unsolved Beaumont children disappearance back in 1966.
I stand by and await further evidence to reveal itself as to what transpired over the past 18 days. Welcome home Cleo.
We need the mods to tell us maybe TW, but did a regular contributor to this thread suddenly stop contributing, oh, just a few days ago?!Just as the accused followed and commented on social media pages dedicated to missing children, I wonder if another wannabe child stealer is reading, or maybe even posting in this thread?

It really is such a bizzare story.
Someone said they had sympathy for the perp earlier because of some hardships, but what’s coming out is a cold, calculating deceitful man who held a little girl for 17 days while all around him people were beside themselves with distress….indeed the whole country was distressed. This has got nothing to do with a difficult life and everything to do with plain evil. His outbursts in court are violent and if he’s threatening to come after photographers when he gets out how the hell are Cleo and her family ever going to feel safe
If he gets a soft touch on this case a lot of people are going to be very angry.
I’ll say it again… fu** him.
Yep, I was charged years ago by some corrupt cops, took my dna, stupid baseless charge was immediately dropped by the angry police prosecutor, but I was told they have my dna forever.

Absolutely craffles, I’m sure he will recieve a lot of counselling and access to all the mental health services available.Hey Woosh hope you are well.
I totally get the anger and 100% agree that people need to be accountable for their actions regardless of what led them there but I do think there is merit in understanding a perps background, motives etc to understand the who what where when why.
Indigenous Australians have generational trauma hard wired into their neurology and no doubt TK has a lot of other childhood trauma too growing up in an under privileged regional area in a split parent household.
Does that make him any less accountable for his actions? No
Does that reduce the impact on Cleo, her family and the Australian community? No
What it does do is help understand what drove TK to do what he did, what his prospects of reoffending/rehabilitation are like and how we prevent future offences like this down the track.
We have a long way to go in understanding how childhood trauma hard wires peoples brain and what it means for them over their lifespan.
Hopefully as mentioned earlier the media leave Ellie, Cleo and fam alone and they get a fu** load of support to ensure she isn't scarred from this.
This is why the Bible says love thy neighbour. Means literally that. Knock on someone’s door and say gday. It could save a life. I guess in my calm moments I feel pity for the abductor. It’s a sad state of affairs really.Absolutely craffles, I’m sure he will recieve a lot of counselling and access to all the mental health services available.
I understand childhood trauma very well, and having lived in remote WA communities myself for years I get it.
Snatching a little child tho for that long and directly where there’s people begging and crying all around you, a few miles from her home. I can’t find any softeness in my heart. I just can’t.
I think Mark would be happy to play himself...
When was this video taken? The bed is unmade, Bratz theme doona cover not on thin foam mattress. What’s the white object on/tied to bed head? Strap or restraint of some kind?
You haven’t seen the video those two different screenshots were taken from, then?
