I meant his daughter more than his wife,plus i have always thought 1 million was not enough, 5million would have been my starting point..that would get you a new out of town life
... and maybe without RP. RP wouldn't perhaps say so, because FA wasn't allowed to drive, afaik. Maybe, RP was only told about the 300 km or saw it on the odometer. If RP wasn't present and wasn't the driver himself, he can't know, if "driving North" was true. Maybe, it was not. MOO
In my country patients get a taxi to drive to dialysis or cancer treatment etc. Idk, who pays in AUS for that.
Who told FA of the opportunity to abduct little W??I don't personally think that Porter's car needed to have been at #35 that morning, for an Abbott theory to apply.
Geoff Owen was in Kendall that morning. He could have dropped Abbott off somewhere close by.
To me, it is not unlikely that Abbott carried William to the school. Abbott was accustomed to walking a lot. And if Porter didn't arrive there till after 3pm, Abbott had a lot of time with William
If Abbott did carry William away, it could be why Savage disappeared for 1½ hours to see if he could see where they went/find William.
IF PS went after someone, he didn't want to help little W, I think, but only to find out who/where/what. MOOI don't personally think that Porter's car needed to have been at #35 that morning, for an Abbott theory to apply.

drsleuth,My thoughts:
The cars we parked in front of # 35, the FFC said she saw no one in the cars, maybe the occupants went inside # 35 ( the house is set a fair way back of the road ) ?
The person that the FFC said she saw turn into the Miller's fits the description of DP and also maybe FA , both have access to may cars on the Heron Ck propery...........
DP & FA know each other very well, DP says he's scared of FA
The Miller's was essentially vacant (as the Miller's were away) was someone hiding there as a lookout??? To tip someone off, maybe in car? I'm sure PS would have known the Miller's were away, he seemed to know everything about everyone. He knew the FF arrived the night before , heard the kids that morning etc
FA has a history of dragging people into his crimes than holding that over their heads so to speak. He brags to anyone & everyone it seems about getting of murder charge.
Seems people are scared of him.
I am stating to wonder if WT was initially taken to Heron's Creek ( hence the searches ) & than driven away ( maybe 300kms somewhere ) on another day?
It was not made clear in evidence, that the day RP said he picked up FA & WT at the shed near the school that it was the 12th, I think many assumed it was, maybe it wasn't? Maybe it was the next day?
Evidence was heard that FA used cars from people without their knowledge ( from DP from memory ) despite having no license.
I think there a few people involved in this crime
I think poor William was eventually placed in water due to alot of questions around boats & fishing
PS may have seen something or knows something, he could have been threatened or his family, but with FA know locked up ( he won't live to get out of jail ) , this his his time to speak up , but he hasn't ( that we know off )
ALL IMO etc.
Blues Clues,
His brown hair looks dyed. From his complexion I think he might have been sandy/red before greying. And it seems he has no alibi, if getting buses ready means he was at home at the property where many buses can be seen. Yet his car was out, supposedly taken without his knowledge. (And his own brother talks of him with disgust, which must say something about at least one of them.)
From IR evidence : was asked if husband " Dooley" was a fisherman & if FA talked about fishing together with FA. She said yes , used to go to Dunbogan.
She was than asked if FA or RP had a boat & she said she never saw or heard of a boat.
From PT's evidence : he was asked if FA ever talked about fishing & if he ever had a boat, he didn't know.
From JA's evidence : She was asked if FA & RP ever talked about fishing & she replied that now I think about it yeah , but I don't know where. She was than asked if she ever heard them talking about a boat & she she she didn't.
From PN's evidence : Asked did you know RP to be a fisherman & replied yes he loved his fishing. Said he went fishing at Dunbogan near boatshed / bridge . Asked if anyone went with him & he replied FA. He was also asked if he heard RP talk about having a boat & he said no.
From DP's evidence : Asked about FA & if he knew him, said he was a regular visitor, and said RP used to take FA fishing. Asked if he knew if FA had a boat, a tinny? & said he didn't know & that it wasn't on his property.
From KO's evidence: She was asked did RP say something about a boat & she replied yes, they did a lot of fishing. Mr Craddock than asked to check one detail with KO about another nurse who said she says that RP mentioned something about going on a boat & using a hand signal , indicating something dropped of a boat & she replied, No.
From TP's evidence : Was asked if RP spent alot of time in North Queensland on a rural station & at some point towed Caravan & boat back to his dad's place & he answered yes. Mr Craddock tried to find out time frame when caravan & boat was bought to Kendall & he couldn't remember. Mr Craddock than said that down in Kendall your brother & father both had tinny's & he replied yes. He said his dad & Ray were both keen fisherman.
TP said RP told him that " a male & I were fishing, told kids not to go near water as dangerous". Mr Craddock asked him if RP told him where this was & he said down river & he did not know what river.
Sorry for any typos
Sorry to butt in
I'll post about the Tamworth trip soon ( evidence from a protected witness )
He tried to sell her in late 2013 a 1930's penny bit it was " not real " " They are the rare ones, was scratched at the bottom"
FA in his cross examination of ER , he said to ER that he also came in with a watch & Australian Army badge & said you did buy the Army Badge
ER saw FA in two different cars ( she saw him 6-8 times over 6 months in late 2013 ) Came to know him as FA. She saw him in white station wagon, boxy style, she thought it was a ford & white ute.
When she made a statement ER said she remembered one occasion, where she remembered FA made a joke about not having driven to the store. ER had a customer who she knew as "Dooley" & she knew his last name was Northam & that he had a scrap metal business & that he & his wife would sell goods. Dooley had said to FA "Better be careful driving around her, that's the coppers missus"
She said she about 6/12/2013 after the last time she saw FA she got a phone call from Dooley who got a phone call from FA . FA was upset as he was not paid for taking a little girl & mother to Tamworth.
She was than asked if Dooley had told her that FA got of murder before & some one going missing from John's River. She said he wanted me to tell my husband ( CR ) which she did.
She was asked if FA ever mentioned the WT case to her & she couldn't be sure.
