I gave it another thought and finally concluded that this extravagant scenario won't pass. The Apple techs could testify that there are two possible ways to initiate a facetime call: by opening the Contacts application and tapping on the name, then tapping the facetime icon, or by initiating a phone call and switching to a facetime session via the call menu. Alternatively, one can press and hold the home button to activate the voice control service and then say 'facetime' and contact's name. Regardless of how a user initiated the facetime session, his/her name/caller ID will be registered (even if blocked) in the logs and in the iPhone of the call's recipient. The Apple software is quite deceptive in this regard. Sooo... No cat (dog, parrot, elephant or other bright animal with high encephalisation quotient and binocular vision) is capable of performing the two consecutive operations where at least the second one involves reasoning.
The problem I have in thinking Allison was left at the bridge is that in the dark it would have been almost impossible to carry her from a car without causing injury. Although anywhere around that area at night would be the same...no street lighting (unless car lights were left on to guide them) long grass, rocks, vines (caught me in broad daylight) steep slope...caterpillars! All MOO.
Problem is, that though it is reported in various media articles, when you look for the source, you see that most news articles come from the same source, which in this case is mostly from the QLD Courier Mail.
