The media does seem remarkably restrained for the last four weeks, barring the mistress story last week.
... so many other intimate murders have had so much coverage, both investigative and analytical, the ordinary punter like me finds a depressively familiar pattern in the circumstances of Allison's relationship, her own tendency for silence, and the eventual discovery of her body in an unlikely suicide location.
Depressingly 'familiar' was her tendency to silence about the alleged years of Domestic Abuse she suffered within her 'bad' marriage; she was found murdered and discarded like trash in a creek. Given that it was allegedly known in the local community that "he laid his heavy hands on her" we need to ask was there family 'collusion' with the DV? Surely they would have known something about it especially that Allison is alleged to have suffered a broken leg at one time.We need to ask was there family 'collusion' with her murder?
The precursors to her murder were that she was disrespected (physical and emotional abuse) and degraded (social abuse) for a long time before she was eventually murdered, found discarded like trash. To then encourage the family, the 3 girls, to carry on with life as 'normal' is IMO significant. Someone had obliterated Allison and also wanted to obliterate her memory and place in the lives of others. Was there a sense of triumph? MOO.
