Perhaps Macro has devised a time-line of where the accused lived, worked, studied and places nearby where he may have socialized. Also, by now theyd know what vehicles he owned, as well as family members that would have been the easiest. I'm certainly not suggesting the family had any involvement, just that families tend to loan vehicles.
I suppose theyd merge all that information together on a huge whiteboard as big as a drive-in movie screen.They would have eagerly interviewed past girlfriends, trying to get a picture of the past - ie whereabouts.
Does anyone have any ideas of what work might be going on behind the scenes?
Initially the former Commissioner Callaghan mentioned investigating 30 years worth. JMO
I imagine there would be several lines of inquiry:
- Linking the accused to the particular crimes for which he is charged - movements on those nights, activities he participated in that could have given him a reason to be there, alibis
- Trying to obtain more forensic evidence - hence searches on property, appeals for the car
- Seeking witnesses and people with information
- Looking at behavioural traits that may provide insight - interviewing friends and family perhaps
- Investigating the possibility of other crimes
- Looking at other unsolved crimes to see if there is any link
I suspect that the bulk of the work on the matters BRE has been charged with have already been done. There will probably be ongoing investigation to fill in any gaps or to look for something specific (eg the Camry), but they'd need to have done what they want on the investigation before handing it over to the defense. (Not to mention that it would be an epic *advertiser censored* up if they discovered something now that blew the charges away such as if he was in another country when one of the crimes occured.)
By this stage I think it would be about assisting the DPP with what is necessary for the trial strategy. With 1.5 million pages there is a lot to organise.
I think their efforts of investigation would be concentrated on other potential crimes now. I imagine a lot of effort has gone in to piecing together a timeline from pre 1988 to BRE's arrest.
