Allegedly

Could be! She wouldn’t be eligible for one though?

Lol. For a minute there I thought I was watching an episode of CSI. You know, when they watch this grainy footage, and go "Enhance, zoom, enhance" and suddenly there's a perfectly clear picture in high resolution of the killer's fingerprint.

 

[Catch]

On the news, they said the police have searched this property before. I wonder If POS has had help. The police are getting information from someone or others. I wouldn't be surprised if she is buried on a property

We should write a suspense/drama stage play about solving crimes. And call it MyFooty or something. And all the characters can drink martini’s while they’re sleuthing

Westpac bank cards are red/white. There's a branch in Ballarat too

Could be, but googling it, they look more bright red/orange and this looks darker red/maroon. I just feel like the card is familiar but I can't remember what it is.

Shaken, not stirred.

Going off topic here, but is the reason labs are so highly trainable due to that love of food?

You could get a lab to do anything with food but have to watch their diet as they can easily get overweight.
A common training is clicker training using positive reinforcement.

Tough decision. Does Hugh Jackman or Chris Hemsworth play me?

Actually found it in March, was thinking this area was a perfect hiding place as far back as Feb. There is a bridge over the river, along the current search line (south-westish), has a track that heads into a hidden parking area. We found our items along a very light track, as in rarely used, we found them by the banks of the river, they had been discarded not washed up.

You might have mentioned this before, but do you know if the cops took the items away?

 

[CodyRose]

Was thinking the same. Could there be a familiarity with this property?

Wouldn’t the dogs have made a noise if someone was being buried on their property?

 

[maggiethecat]

It wouldn’t be near where POS was house sitting would it?

 

[Underarrest_]

Was thinking he might know the property and that no one was there at the time. It’s just so close to a house, it seems risky being seen but I don’t know the area.

Nah , I’m drinking bourbon and participating in herbology (medicinal of course!) … but maybe that’s why im no good at solving crimes

 

[CodyRose]

Very close to buildings

 

[Badd0g]

It’s a bummer that we can’t zoom in more on those cards.

Looks very much like a Costco card

 

[CodyRose]

POS talking to relative and cell bugged.

Yes agree someone else is talking imo

Good one!

How come they aren't going back to continue searching in the dam?
Weren't the occupants of the property advised recently that police wanted to search the property and if so wouldn't curiosity have kicked in and they take a little wander around to see if there is anything obvious. The phone looked was very obvious and sniffer dogs wouldn't be needed for that.
Did police say why they needed the excavator.

I heard the dogs found the phone in the mud. What amazing assets they are to humanity, in so many ways.

I guess the photo was a staged one, taken when they got it on dry land and examined it. I also heard it contained credit card etc, so there would be a name; hence the suggested high-fiving, considering the months that have gone by.

I’m just praying that they find Samantha’s remains so her family can find some closure.

 

[FrankGrimes]

What, do they mean they don't know what phone SM had?
Why release that info without knowing if it was her phone.

Phone was buried in mud or similar, without the dogs they don’t find it

Hemsworth has my vote. I nominate Angelina Jolie to play me Or Eve Morey from Neighbours.

Beau Garrett can play you then

A Victorian license is green with a blue strip at the top. That might be a loyalties Myers card or similar.

That’s a basic license, a Victorian Heavy Vehicle license has a red/maroon strip instead of the blue, but even still the red/maroon strip on the card in that pic looks much too thick for it to be that. Usually, as phone case card slots are limited to around 2 or 3, you keep your most important/most used cards there. I agree re loyalties, it could even be something so mundane as a hole-punched coffee shop loyalty card?

Amazing, the cards were still in there and weren't taken out

 

[Dazza the Viking]

That dam looks more like a pond.

I think on one of news channels said the guy who owns the property said the water level had dropped a fair bit over the last 6 months

 

[craffles]

So that Murdery stuff rando just waltzes onto BigFooty posts some obscure stuff trying to try and link the case interstate and now has disappeared.

Definitely fishy, potentially a burner account of someone close to the accused or a websleuths nutter. I’m surprised at how this sub forum really manages to bring so many randoms to the site. Chief needs to give us a cut of the advertising.
