I have lived in Adelaide all my life, but have heard very little about this case (it was a few years before my time) I do remember when the flowers failed to appear on his grave though, it made a minor stir at the time and people were checking deaths over the previous year to see if they could find a link. I don't think anything came up though, certainly not enough for anything to be said.

Thank you MAM, for this link.

Good read

I read about this a few months ago...absolutely fascinating stuff.

Here's the Wiki page for the case. MAM's article covers things pretty well, though.

meep you, there was no evidence of dingos being present at the crime scene, the story didn't match up with a dingo being around, that crazy meep lied about killing her kid and blamed it on a dingo. do not even get me started on this.

That was in the Northern Territory, not South Australia. It doesn't count.

Cleaning the garage this morning so's I have room to build. I gritted my teeth and threw out all the old bits of armor, too-heavy maille(10-12 gauge) and a sword blank I'll never get around to beveling.
