    Australia - Toyah Cordingley, 24, body found on beach, 22 October 2018 #2

    Thanks for all your comments - I've been following this case obsessively, to the point of crying when watching T's mother's statement etc, and it helps to feel others care and are interested. A few out loud musings (sorry if I go on too long!):- I don't think excess violence necessarily points...

    Australia - Toyah Cordingley, 24, body found on beach, 22 October 2018

    I wonder if the dog was tied up with Toyah’s lead, or something else? If the dog is friendly, getting it to run to you in the dunes and tying it up would be a way of enticing poor Toyah off the more visible front of the beach, into the dunes. Even if she knew someone had grabbed the dog, an...

    Australia - Toyah Cordingley, 24, body found on beach, 22 October 2018

    How tragic for her loved ones. Her FB lists a boyfriend who lives in Port Douglas and says she lives in Cairns -Wangetti Beach is about midway between the two (to the extent you can trust FB listing of addresses, ie you can't). She also used to work in Port Douglas. That is, she doesn't have to...

    Innocent, not in any way!!! What a weird roller coaster feeling - on the one hand feel so happy in a "yeah, justice won" kind of a way, then so unhappy as of course it's not some football game win but an awful cruel tragedy. Poor Helen, poor Boris. Rest more quietly now with my deepest...

    i wonder if IS is doing all this tall tales in court thing, not because he thinks he's going to get off, but to keep up an act in the eyes of his sons and parents?? ie he can't let them see behind the mask, so they are the ones he is trying to convince with all this. He knows he's going down...

    No words! What a tragicomic farce. I know there's not much point picking holes, because as Dolly pointed out the story's one giant hole, but I can't help another one - so according to his earlier evidence (the phone call to report), IS arrived home just before 5pm on the Monday, then (I think)...

    Hard to jump in on conversations with my time difference, but thanks again for all the postings. The link to helen's blog prompted me to read some entries again. Reading this one prompted a few thoughts:- http://planetgrief.com/2012/02/02/facebook-friend-or-foe/ Firstly, in the comments Helen...

    A bit off topic, but apparently the commonly held concept of poison as a 'woman's weapon' is a myth. An American study of modern poisoning murders showed they were often committed by men (in a reasonably higher percentage). I think the article did acknowledge that perhaps female poisoners were...

    The earlier speculation about IS's mental diagnosis - psychopath? narcissistic PD? etc triggered a couple of thoughts: 1. I understand that psychopathy alone isn't sufficient to establish a defence of "mental insanity". Though there's some debate among criminologists as to whether severe...

    First post Firstly, thanks for all the detailed updates and discussions. I’m based in Australia and my interest was first caught when Helen was missing and referred to as a young adult author (this is what I write). Out of curiosity I then read news reports and Helen’s blog and...
