Muderers are subject to the same time problems as any other person. Their hour has sixty seconds, just like yours and mine, the moon rises and sets, the sun rises and sets for them the same as it does for us all. Time is not suspended , just because a murder is done. Space doesnt contract. 10 kls doesnt become 5, pathways dont magically open up then close after they proceed thru.. They are bound to the same natural laws as kings and commoners.
The Kholo creek area was the furtherest that could be gone from base under the time restraints. ( I am discarding the idea that some mysterious figure lived on the creek, sought Allison out, (travel time and space) and then bought her back to his base and then disappeared himself)
Things have to be done, and it all rests, really, on the timing of reporting Allison missing. There is only one person who can do this convincingly, and to do it, that person has to be in the place where she is missing from, otherwise how would he know she is missing? He cant ring from just anywhere proposing this idea.. there has to be a reason why she could be missing and not just late. And she has to be noticed to be missing at a certain time. It may be an inconvenient time, but it has to be done. It cannot be left to someone else to notice Allison not walking among us. That timing has to be controlled, or the whole thing falls apart right there.. Which I think it did. the timing of the call was stuffed up .
