Australia Australia - William Tyrrell, 3, Kendall, Nsw, 12 Sept 2014 - #43

[JLZ]

Thanks for the court updates today everyone.

Can someone please clarify: the man mentioned today at the inquest- does his brother or had his brother lived on Benaroon Drive? Or was this at a different location?
Thanks in advance

The brother who testified today lived in Springvale with his parents, which is in/near Wagga Wagga. The brother's brother, the sex offender, lived in Taree, but often slept overnight in his van in Kendall. There's been nothing to suggest that either ever lived in Benaroon Drive.

 

[RubyHill]

Wouldn’t the police have been able to establish if RD worked that day ? Wouldn’t they have been able to access payroll documents instead of the store manager ?

Maybe they have already done that,its just that Sharon could not confirm whether he worked or not,she also said that he usually worked the afternoon shift,wonder what time the arvo shift started.

Not sure, just that she said she’d contacted payroll to find out as records weren’t available

Looking for a quite place to park,the end of a semi dead end street would make sense if he was looking for somewhere else to park rather then the pool or showground,I wonder if he worked the Thursday.

Wernt available to her,I really do think that the taskforce would have checked this out already,I hope so anyway.

You’d certainly think so wouldn’t you. But if they knew the answer then I wonder why they asked her ?

Perhaps just a way to get it out there. To inform the public, so to speak. Clarify.

Yes,for sure,Im not sure why they would ask ,hopefully tomorrow it will make sense.

also its a little alarming how easily donohue was cleared to join the ses searches, i guess if you have no record? but i also notice on that grid search map a lot of the people were neighbours, so what happens if /when a neighbour is the perp and could easily cover their tracks while searching?

He was an SES member but that doesn't mean he was approved to take part in searches. There are different kinds of members. He said he helped search for William, but he might have been big-noting himself, or he might have helped in an ordinary civilian capacity rather than qua SES. And, as there was a Donoghue who was recorded as searching Benaroon Drive (edit: no, in Ellendale Crescent), probably a neighbour, let's get the sex offender's name right--Donohoe.

 

[deugirtni]

I wonder if Donohoe camped at the cemetary at times,I also wonder if his van could have been mistaken for Speddings van which was said to be seen at the house during the searches.

seen at which house?

 

[Ms Cadfael]

Also



Dunno how much I believe that

I wonder if these two victims are the reason for the closed court?
I think their trauma backgrounds and intellectual disabilities could certainly qualify to close the court? IMO.

 

[Thebottomline]

seen at which house?

I think that would be speddings van parked in Benaroon early the following week when he did come back with washing machine Part.

Yes. "Donohoe" is an unusual surname, given the usual spelling is "Donohue". It is, however, endemic to the Port Mac area, coming from a convict- Patrick Donohoe and his Aboriginal wife. There are a few "Donohoes" scattered througout Aus..but mainly in the Taree, Walcha and Pt Mac areas. Im a descendent of the Donohoes at Pt Mac. Dont know too much bout this fella tho.. yet.
All MOO.

Is it pronounced Donohue?

 

[sleepinoz]

I’m happy to post tweets as they happen tomorrow or is it annoying clogging up thread if most are following twitter themselves ?

Please do, but if there is a time that you can't - let me know and I'll see if I can. It's not easy copying the tweets every day for a month.

 

[RubyHill]

seen at which house?

FGM house.

I'm around tomorrow, I can help out too.

Yes,Donohoe would have been in jail by then,Im sorry for putting that thought out there.

The first name was wrong as well.

 

[Ms Cadfael]

Nope. "Hoe". Like the garden implement..amongst others.
