To take a completely (I hope) unbiased view of where we are at the moment:
- Allison went missing - no witnesses.
- Screams, noises, thuds, etc were heard - but could have been anything or anyone, from anywhere.
- Allison was found dead 11 days later at Kholo Creek - no cause of death able to be determined. However, the levels of sertraline ("Zoloft") in the blood and tissue samples taken from her liver (as no peripheral blood was able to be sampled due to decomposition) were within normal expectations that one would find with therapeutic doses. This takes into account the normal concentration by the liver, plus the post-mortem redistribution that occurs.
- GBC reports Allison missing at a very early stage, when most would just be concerned that she was a bit late back from her alleged normal walk.
- When police arrive, he has 3 large scratches on his face. And from a medical point of view (mine as well as the expert witnesses) these were NOT caused by a razor (blunt razors of that type actually are LESS likely to cut or knock the tops of spots) but were most likely to have been caused by fingernails or claws of some type.
- Blood stains in the back of the Captiva (Allison's car) were DNA matched to Allison's DNA. There was also a hair stuck into the blood.
- He and Olivia have told the court that Allison gave up driving - yet they have two cars, she did the school runs, and drove herself to the hairdresser.
- He told the court that Allison would have his phone from when he got home to the next morning - yet there are numerous calls and texts sent and received during evening hours on that phone.
- GBC has admitted having several affairs outside his marriage, including one long term one with Toni McHugh. He has also told the court that he didn't consider that to be a relationship. He also sent an email telling her he loved her and that he would be single by July 1st 2012.
- There was an empty Zoloft packet in Allison's car - which was prescribed some time earlier. Even if she had swallowed the whole packet, she would not have died. And of course, would not have been able to walk to Kholo Creek due to being light-headed and drowsy.
- The question that I can't recall being asked yet is - WHY Kholo Creek? It is a long way from home to there, and there are other creeks and bridges much closer to their home. Moggill Creek is within 5 minutes walk, with several access points. Not to mention numerous dams - all the ones being searched by helicopters and divers at the time, including ours, which are plenty deep enough to go and drown yourself in after swallowing a packet of Zoloft.
- Allison's head was covered by her jumper, but she had 6 species of leaves entangled in her hair, all of which can be found behind the carport at the BC house. To find the exact same combination/permutation of species elsewhere would be a very low chance. Only two of those species could be found at Kholo Creek. Despite the defence's allegations that they could have washed down on the tidal flow.
And I'm not a prosecuting lawyer - but I'm sure there are many inconsistencies that need to be asked about.
