Hate to jump to conclusions, but this stinks...
They are worried about abandoned mine shafts. As an avid trail runner, you never run off the trails, its just too difficult through the bush so I highly doubt that she's fallen down a mine shaft. Especially running by yourself on a 36deg day, she would have stayed on shady trails.


Looking very unlikely she’ll be found alive now.
Terrible situation for the family

It is interesting but there is CCTV of her running past peoples homes.

Just one home wasn't it? 15 minutes after she left so not on the trail yet.

I thought it was two homes they said on the news this week, I was more so thinking she wasn’t murdered at home then dumped. Looking for a positive

I was watching an Australian crime show the other day and they said something like 95% of murders in Australia, the victim knew the murderer.
Surely that can’t be right? Seems way too high

Now, I'm not one to believe there's a pearly gate but if there is she has every right to question the decision making process that preceded her arrival.


I said to the missus, that the gums used to worry me as I rode along the bike track to and from the city. I never trusted them - but thankfully I made it through over the course of quite a few years.

I worked in the councils for a few years and the arborists told me that when gums got 'sick' they dropped a branch. The old saying of 'lose a limb to save the tree' rang true. What the arborists were trying to perfect was knowing when they were going to do it - and hence prevent these situations.

I must admit 95% feels right.
I mean I've never had the urge to kill someone I don't know, but there have been plenty of times, especially at work, where I've sat there thinking about all the different ways I could knock certain people off.

It's quite close but quite different than trying to knock up a co worker.

Heart breaking.
I've been reading up on the area where she runs. A lot of the locals know it for being very dangerous for the abandoned mine shafts and reckon if you go down one, chances are you'll never be found.
