    Still Missing Australia - Samantha Murphy, 51, last seen leaving her property to go for a run in the Canadian State Forest, Ballarat, 4 Feb 2024 *Arrest* #13

    Being a tradie, he would likely have had a variety of tools onboard. Without trying to sound too macabre, you normally don't hit things with anything more difficult to swing than a hammer and a hammer wouldn't be too hard to dispose of. But if it was an old favourite, and some tools become that...

    Australia - Suzanne Armstrong, 28, Susan Bartlett, 27, Collingwood, Vic, 10 January 1977 *arrest 2025*

    It's almost like the newspaper felt they needed to keep the story relevant and decided they'd pull a rabbit out of a hat. Any rabbit they could find. The previous story they ran relative to Kouroumblis was hardly more newsworthy than this one.

    Surprisingly high and very satisfying strike rate. Hope P.S.' legals have pointed out that extremely relative statistic to him.

    "Samanatha's phone was found in near perfect condition." Was it? Has this been confirmed or is it speculation?

    Thanks for the update. The irony is, when these things go quietest, it is usually when things are actually happening.

    CONVICTION OVERTURNED Australia - Russell Hill & Carol Clay Murdered While Camping - Wonnangatta Valley, 2020 #9 *retrial Jan 2026*

    I was amazed when I mentioned the appeal result to my son and he couldn't place the case either.

    The second trial will have to be held in front of a judge alone unless they can find a jury pool from somewhere who aren't aware of the first case. Perhaps aliens?

    I think the prosecution have a strong enough hand. Just a matter of playing their cards better this time.

    CONVICTION OVERTURNED Australia - Russell Hill & Carol Clay Murdered While Camping - Wonnangatta Valley, 2020 #9 *retrial Jan 2026*

    Surely, even in the unlikely event the murder charge is overturned, there would be a fairly significant penalty for interfering with a body and destruction of evidence, and he would be a slam dunk of being guilty of both because of his testimony in the trial.

    His credibility went out the window when he repeatedly lied to the police before about-facing. Just a pity it was deemed inadmissible in court.

    I don't know that case specifically but my understanding is that, in Australia, if you plead guilty prior to trial, there is no need to hold one and the case progressed straight to sentencing.

    Australia Australia - Joanne Ratcliffe, 11, & Kirste Gordon, 4, Adelaide, 25 Aug1973

    It appears to be a leap linking Neville Dolling to the abduction of Joanne Ratcliffe and Kirste Gordon from a crowded Adelaide oval in 1973 (that's what this thread is about) on the strength of him abducting Wendy Pfeiffer from a rural setting 500 metres from a dairy farm in 1966. I'm not...

    The ABC getting it wrong is a rarity. Or it used to be.

    Australia - Suzanne Armstrong, 28, Susan Bartlett, 27, Collingwood, Vic, 10 January 1977 *arrest 2025*

    Dermott Dann, for Kouroumblis, is trying to create doubt by bringing into focus the police interest in Ross Hammond, who was dating Susan Bartlett at the time of the murders. I expect we will hear all manner of distraction and deviation from the Crown case from Dann. He will also relying...

    Australia - Suzanne Armstrong, 28, Susan Bartlett, 27, Collingwood, Vic, 10 January 1977 *arrest 2025*

    I guess it's possible the Australian authorities added the Julie Garciacelay case to Kouroumblis' 'rap sheet' just to add weight to the argument he should be extradited? Then again, it is a completely separate case and if/when it does come up it would be treated completely separately. I guess...

    Australia Australia- Julie Garciacelay, 19, librarian @ Southdown Press, missing sister's apt; blood-soaked towel & cut-up underwear found, Melbourne, July '75.

    Interestingly, there doesn't seem to have been any further mention of Perry Kouroumblis' name in relation to the disappearance/murder of Julie Garciacelay. If I remember correctly, when the Australian authorities were pleading their case for Kouroumblis' extradition, they argued he had...
