>>510422360>I haven't really been following the story. She cashed her car and or something and wandered around for 11 days? It does seem very unlikely.- She bought a 4wd and set off across the wheat belt.
- After about 5 days her family back home rang the authorities because they always hear from her every day or so.
- So the police do some simple video/atm tracking and find the last town she was seen in
- By then it's been a week, so they start searching proper, but they don't really know where (she could be 1000km away from that town), and it's a hard are to search (thick bush).
- They don't know if she's lost, camping, murdered, etc at this point.
- Early on day 11 a spotter plane finds her car stuck in the bush
- Later on day 11 the farmer finds her walking along a track, 30km from where her car is.
- She doesn't any shoes, is wearing minimal clothing, and is fucked by mozzies.
You can see that her car was well equipped with provisions (food, water, etc) and equipment (solar, camping gear, clothes, etc), so leaving it would be a dumb idea. The fact she wasn't with the car and was found in the state she was suggests that either;
a) she did walk off in zombie-mode, which is what her statement today says happened.
b) possibly someone did "trap" her. They might have staged a breakdown on the side of the track, and she pulled over to assist. Then they ambushed and abducted her, crashed her car in to the bush to stage an accident, raped her for a week, dumped her back in the bush halfway between car and town, and then 4 days later she was found in the condition they left/put her in.
(a) seems more likely to me, and Occam's razor suggests the same.
> "of two competing theories, the simpler explanation is to be preferred."I have personally hit my head whilst 4wding many times. Sometimes on the roof, or the door, and maybe even the windshield. So I believe that part of it could happen.
