Crikey!! thanks for all the anecdotes of friends and family fiercely drinking and hammering the roads in marathon pursuits.. who knew??? I will never be able to watch a marathon again without wondering........ .... My experience with marathon runners was a husband and friends who only drank filthy stuff like blackcurrant leaf tea , ginseng concoction, and would have drunk my compost drippings had I allowed it. Alcohol was poison. I , often sampling some fine wines , was considered an heretic, a raving ratbag alcoholic, a spawn of satan and on the road to hell at warp speed,
My query is still this.. was she in running mode or drinking mode on the Sunday she disappeared.... He would know... the husband, that is. had she been at the bottle during that week of the school hols?. or out pounding the sand to Lorne?...
I have a lot of questions about (a) the flyer, and (b) it's content.. that it is reported that she was an alcoholic.... that sounds vague and unverified to me...more a suggestion , than a claim. And that 5/6 days into the search , that appears to be the first time police are made aware of this aspect of Mrs Curry. How odd is that? you would think that would be crucial info from the get-go.. it would certainly have had an impact on the search, drinkers can get into bizarre places.
It seems to me that Mr Curry gave information to the police that led them to be searching in a wide area, ( wide as far as a marathon runner would go ) from the house. Out to sea, along the coast road, which makes me think he portrayed her at the start, in Running mode... now.. it seems ... the search has tightened into a close circle from the house.. Drinking mode....
As to the Bikie gang stuff... gang culture , fringe criminal groups have always been associated with the hotel and gambling industry... Mr Curry would have had to deal with people of this ilk, his furry bunny booboo shy bloke demeanor at his one appearance for a public plea for help was at odds with how he would have had to conduct his business as CEO of the Hotel and Gaming industry....
