This is were I get confused Puggle.
There are so many before and after photos of those logs. In your photo here it shows substantial sizes but in others it's only bracken.
I guess forensics removed the bigger logs but I can't see where they are close by.
Poor sweet woman. This is truly disgusting.
Thanks puggle, I had never seen that image. Those branches/logs are quite large, presumably whoever carried them would have a bit of debris transferred to their clothing and maybe their car (especially if they were a bit damp).
No I hadn't either....
Today I went back through all the old video..... when they announced they had found a body.......footage is before they announced it was Karen.
The trunk looks alot larger in photos for some unknown reason....
I'd estimate those log (branches) are about 15cm in diameter...
its definately not natural....the horizontal placement is too perfect....
obvious city slicker mistake..
I live in bushland..... I have never seen a fallen tree have its branches brake perfectly horizontal and lay that way in the scrub.....never!!!
There are lots of fallen trees around the site .... that someone could have broken up to place over the body...
2 secs.... Ill find the pic of directly around the spot...within meters..
SORRY ..... I accidentally broke your quote...
I am not so sure these 'logs' were collected nearby & placed on top of Karen's remains.
After zooming in and taking a closer look tonight, I suspect the majority of what we see may have been in situ originally and are a third tree limb that was originally branching off the upper of the main logs as seen in the photo in question.
Take a close look at the area and contours between the top 'main log' along where it faces what at first glance looks to be a seperate log that has been placed into the gap against it. They line up far too perfectly in my opinion (image attached).
It seems to me that a lot of what looks like logs/branches from elsewhere are in fact mostly part of a third limb that was growing from what is the upper limb in the main photo (also attached).
The fact that this timber is missing from the site isn't surprising if Karen's body had been wedged underneath it.
I'm finding this difficult to express clearly. I hope it's explained clearly enough.
EDIT TO ADD : The horizontal placement looking too perfect, as Puggle pointed out, was what led me to automatically feel these smaller logs were placed there, inbetween the main two logs. However, after zooming in and taking a closer look at the gap & contours inbetween
between the top 'main' log & what seemed to be the first log artificially placed next to it, I've changed my mind.
My thoughts exactly until I zoomed in. I did notice the site where another branch once was that you've highlighted & I think that there was another, belonging to the other 'main' limb.
Take a look at the contours of the main upper branch & one of the added(?) logs as circled here. They match up SO well in my opinion.
IF this is the intact burial, I think a lot of the 'logs' inbetween were originally a branch, joined where I have circled them & broke apart when the whole lot fell to the ground. I do not think they filled the full gap/space between the two main logs & were levered up/aside to wedge Karen in/under there, with her placed towards the other main log.
