Thorns, metal, glass, also, since Ballarat is a gold mining place, they probably have broken shards of quartz every-fricking-where, and that can slice you open really really easy, as I know from my childhood holidays spent in another former gold mining hotspot.
From a new article …
Exactly my thoughts!
The watch is a lot smaller. It could be in the same dam, just not found.
But if the memory's in the cloud, isn't it possible (in circumstances like these) for police to read it without the physical phone?From a new article …
They hope the instrument is not so badly corroded it retains the data that might reveal the path of its last journey; the hours or days between whatever befell Samantha Murphy and her phone’s trip to the dam. Even a badly damaged mobile phone almost always retains a memory, according to forensic experts, often securely lodged in the cybersphere’s cloud.
Police hope for a breakthrough on Samantha Murphy
The first physical clue to the missing Ballarat mother’s fate emerges from the mud - a mobile phone.www.theage.com.au
From reading various threads here on WS .. especially the US ones … it appears that Apple do not easily assist the Police with such data …. They make it very difficult to obtain, and it’s all legally bound etc and it can take a very long time ….
Maybe it was only the watch that was backed up to the cloud at the time, not the phone.
Stops contamination of site.
Well that clears up which dam it was. I said I could be wrong, and I was. The dam is on the block to the north of the red house, and the reporter points to the little green house one fenceline still further north as the property owner.From a new article …

well ,... it would be a ratty tease to differentiate between one component of the phone and another, and call them 'items'.. Would VICPOL be up for a ratty tease?.. They like a joke as much as the next bloke, I suppose. I, personally, am taking it as plural items, a phone and something else. While being a born cynic I am also, and often at the same time, an incurable optimist.
