Yes, he appeared to be functioning, I lived in the suburb and knew them both. Most people were hoodwinked by him before it all happened

I agree with ProfCluezo as well, Gerard Baden Clay was an example of a malignant narcissist psychopath who had been functioning quite well in society.

Yes, but won't give away the ending, different to our case. I read a bit more on the author and apparently she wrote a few pieces about the case and flt very strongly about the appeal.

Also 1. They had nicknames for the family cars the the wife was upset as the husband had sex in one of the cars with his mistress 2. It was mentioned that the police may plant a microphone in the flowers at the funeral 3. The wife's favourite colour was yellow and everyone brought sunflowers!

Some more coincidences 1. In the book he gave his mistress a date that he would leave his wife by, and when questioned about this after his wife disappeared he said he had just plucked the figure out of the air and was doing it to keep her happy and the business running. 2/. He had a secret...

Has anyone read the bok "The one who got away" by Caroline Overington, an Australian journalist? It is based in California but I am sure Alison's case was a trigger for the novel. I started reading and the coincidences are amazing 1. A women goes for a walk while her husband is asleep (on...

I attended Brisbane Writer's Festival yesterday and went to a session with Kate Kyriacou presenting. She was mainly talking about her book "The Sting" which detailed the operation to catch Brett Cowan but in the panel discussion she also brought up Allison's case. the session was called Crime...

Yes I occasionally feel sorry for them but then remember how Nigel denigrated Allison on the stand at the trial and my sympathy vanishes

I was driving towards Kenmore a few weeks ago when I realised the car in front has "BWANA" plates. You would think with all the publicity they would ditch these but no. They turned into Kenmore village as I did and I kept bumping into them in Coles. He still seems to have a very arrogant air as...

OK not that informative. They just gave a picture of his prison mug shot and compared it with previous pictures. His new "relationship" is just that he is now BFF with Max Sieca(?) the one who murdered the 3 siblings. They are both on trolley pushing duty together. A psychologist commented on...

For those in Brisbane, Channel 7 a report on the 6pm news "What does he look like now? His new relationship" Not sure how they got this surely they couldn't interview him in prison

Have any of the local people read the Letters in the Westside News this week? For interstate and overseas people this is our local rag which covers Brookfield, Kenmore etc. Basically a male reader has posed the question what if GBC is innocent? He cites the points in favour as: 1. No trace of...

If you look at some of the lenient sentences criminals have received it seems unbelievable that these people were out in the community and the consequences. Two current examples: If Adrian Bayley who had “an extensive history of rape and violence”, convicted of 3 rapes, (proven to...

I'll be there should be a huge turn out

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it was actually Gerard that rang, even before the body had been identified. He was told he needed an identity and a death certificate before claiming. He rang back after Allison was identified but was told he needed a death certificate. He was quite pushy on...
