That’s the wornderful thing about conspiracy theories – people take a lack of evidence as “proof”.
There has never been any suggestion, apart from for those flimsy theories that have no basis in fact, that Joanne Lees or Peter Falconio were involved in drug running (although Bradley Murdoch definitely was).
Plenty of people travel that road at night after being advised not to do so. If you had ever visited any of the accommodation or facilities available at that time (I have) you would know why they decided to keep going.
A revolver doesn’t eject shell casings and someone who took the time to hide a body wouldn’t be so stupid as to leave a shell from an automatic lying around. Where was the gunshot residue going to be found?
The “Jelly Man”, not mentioned in eight previous interviews with police, may just be a local drunk. The Aboriginal communities on either side of the road there are “dry” and when you go up any track far enough you will encounter a sign that says if you are found with alcohol in your vehicle, it will be impounded (I know becasue I have seen them with my own eyes). So, if the Jelly Man ever existed, there are plenty of logical theories why people would be manhandling him into their car and not wanting to engage with passers by.
The other, more usual reason for not confessing to being a drug courier is that you aren’t one.
And, pray tell, what are your conspiracy theories about a struck-off and jailed former coke-head lawyer trying to make a name for himself (and a buck) by cobbling together some BS theories about a tragic case in which one young person’s life was lost and the other’s destroyed.
Want some facts about the man behind this so-called documentary? Look here.
This series was originally made for British TV, where these conspiracy theories meet a more gullible audience, partly due to their complete lack of understanding about the vast extent and nature of the Outback.
We should be a bit smarter than that.
