There was too much that was not addressed at the inquest. I agree with Phil, a case like this deserves more time and more inquiry.This thread has had 5 years to probe and try solve this cold case mystery.
7 hours in here would be just about enough time to fend off a troll, accuse someone of working for the Police, and forget slabs of what was previously posted or read from this thread.
'Phil Hickey: Seven hours was simply not enough time to probe Julie Cutler’s 34-year-old cold case mystery'
‘Baffling’: Cutler inquest did not go hard enough for clues
It just seems baffling to me and also somewhat heartbreaking that a Coroner’s inquest into the disappearance of 22-year-old woman Julie Cutler could be wrapped up in just a day-and-a-half.thewest.com.au

'please don't write clickbaity garbage about a missing persons 3 decades past.' Yes, indeed!
I wonder if we can get a copy of the photo of the wall?
I do recall them talking about damage to the wall I think. They brought up the fact that somebody had asked Roger about concrete in the car, and they said they thought it came from the fact the found some concrete in or on the car and theorised that it was from the retaining wall. I.e., they thought the female officer Roger spoke to on the phone was asking if there was any other reason there might be concrete in the car, and that somehow evolved into there being concrete blocks in the car (chinese whispers I guess?). But yes, I think they said the car did some damage to the concrete wall but I wasn't entirely clear on how or where.
Stairs... good point. At the inquest they just said "top of the hill".. I guess if she accidentally rolled down stairs in her car drunk that would make sense thought.. the car would be harder to stop and control. She might have totally freaked out??
Could she have been meaning to turn into the parking lot and missed??
So many questions!!!!!
She drank 3 champagnes one after the other when she got there, then continued drinking. Witnesses said that she didn't drink often so would get drunk fairly quickly and easily. I wouldn't want to be driving an old Fiat in a storm even after 3 champagnes alone!
That is the side I had always assumed the car went down.
I'll also see if I can get a copy of the actual photo, though it's doubtful I will given my track record with getting any kind of information from the police!
I can see your point, but it could explain all the dents and scrapes down the sides of the car. It was only a small car and may have just fitted into walk way. I just cant see it getting the same damage going down the other open service road.
The Northern Service now appears to have some stairs and a middle of path handrail in the section near the beach.
