Dreadful news - a jogger found a woman’s decaying body wrapped in plastic near the Sydney airport yesterday.

Hopefully that keeps murdery stuff at bay. Unless it’s like a weird satanic summons where if I say murdery stuff three times they appear. Crap, between my two posts I’ve said murdery stuff three times now and now I’ve said it three times in this post.

You have to say it 3 times in the mirror, then they'll appear on this thread

Care to get it back on track or just gonna sit there from the sidelines and throw cheapies?

This is what happens in an information vacuum, every time. As soon as there's some court action I'll roll the thread over and curtail the nonsense.

That is all.

The rumours have been circulating for some time, we even had a new poster come in to the thread to make an account of what they saw one night ... and it was deleted.

It's okay to have a discussion about what the locals might be saying, provided it's not presented as a fact.

What did the user say they say one night??

Hmm not really. It's a smallish place and police down there have civ mates (like anywhere). The first time I heard about the main piece of evidence was a cop at a BBQ (my mates house) telling him about it.

There were other people at the BBQ who knew SM's family so he was careful not to say anything in front of those people.

My brother has had a few cops tell him things on Grindr of all places.

People close to the case are talking, I know that for a fact.

I’ve heard so many rumours from “cops” in Ballarat. All conflicting stories. Either cops are talking garbage or it’s a case of Chinese whispers… or people are making up shit and saying cops told them. This court date can’t come fast enough!!

Supposedly returning to court on February 18, 2025.

Anyone else plan to be in attendance?

According to google maps the courthouse is only a 15 day walk down the road from my place.
Not sure if that includes stopping to eat or sleep though.

More of the admittedly very limited news media coverage focusing on public speculation about the phone, timelines, small town dynamics, and potentially other people involved.

Hoping to flush people out over the festive season perhaps?

Probably more just a slow news period, pre written article to cover holiday leave etc.
