GENERAL COMMENT - Nobody can stop the general public from discussing a case or whatever it is. The internet has been available to many people for over 20 years and this is not the only case (nor will it be the last) that will generate forum discussions all over the place. The authorities, whether it be police or government, know this and are expecting people's speculation. I agree that QPS should keep many details secret, but what has been released to the public through media is very much what they want us to know. If the authorities thought that any information released would be detrimental to someone or to a prospective trial, they would not have released any details about anything and would have put a total ban on the media reporting on this case (or any other case).
This forum has moderators and if they believe that a particular post or comment is inappropriate (according to their TOS), they will promptly delete them, as we have experienced. But we still have the right to express our opinions, with respect for the victim and all involved, including respect for members of this forum. I believe expressing certain grieve for the death of woman (with whom many here identify with and for various reasons) is perfectly acceptable.
If authorities are so concerned about what is being discussed in forums like this, WHY haven't they come out and confirm they have eliminated certain player(s) from their investigation? Because they HAVEN'T eliminated them. All they above is my personal opinion only.
I still stand by my own theory: Allison died as a result of a DV incident. IMO.
But I wonder to what extent the desire to discuss every minutia of the case, including numerous speculations not mentioned in MSM, is risking the long-term outcome of the investigation? I know everyone is free to make their own decisions regarding what they want to discuss, but it would be a terrible shame if the (hopefully) eventual court case is somehow impacted upon by this - even in a small way. Everyone's motivation is justice for Allison but the worst outcome for her family would be to find that this compulsion, while not actually solving the crime, could in fact create a problem down the track. It is reasonable for the media to report on the facts that come to light via the QPS, but I'm not sure how reasonable it is for people to publicly sleuth every family member, friend, business associate, company, etc. This is not intended as a criticism of any individual here, but more as food for thought about taking a long-term approach to the investigation to ensure it has optimal success. (IMO of course)
